Namaste



Bonjour à tous,  (more information in English at the bottom.)
J'ai encore un weekend de formation ce weekend sur le système cardiaque et je ne serai présente pour mon cours samedi.  Il faut que je repousse aussi, l'atelier " d'agni et le feu digestif", au 27 janv, 13h30-16h30
Si vous pouvez venir, ce sera un grand plaisir de vous voir.  Plus de détails sont sur le site.

Aussi, il y aura un nouveau cours en février avec Valerie La Valle.  Tous les mercredis a partir du 6 février.  Niveau I/II pour l'heure de déjeuner, 12h30-13h30.  Il y a maintenant un cours tous les après-midi pendant l'heure du déjeuner.   Essayez-le pour voir s'il y a des changements pendant votre journée!

Meditation, Sunday 3 Feb at 19h45.  Toujours gratuite, il n'y aura qu'une seule séance ce mois-ci. 
A très bientôt!

Namaste  Everyone!

I have another Yoga Therapy weekend scheduled this weekend and Ann will be covering for me this Saturday.  My workshop will take place next weekend,  Jan 27 on the building up of our inner fire and resistance.  Strengthening our immune and digestive system..  There will be no workshop in February but there will be one in March for Spring detox and in April, as well.
Peter Sterios is coming to Paris for a workshop in May, if you would like to save these dates:
(more information to follow)

May 19 (Sun afternoon): Paris, Centre de Yoga du Marais - All-level Class (general public)

May 20 (Mon evening): Paris, Centre de Yoga du Marais - Master Class (teachers/teacher trainees)


Back to February, Valerie La Valle is joining our staff and will be teaching lunchtime yoga on Wednesdays beginning the 6th of February.  12h30-13h30.

The next meditation is Feb 3 at 19h45.  

And finally a lovely list I re-read, published by
Regina Brett some years ago and republished on her birthday, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio .  
More things to appreciate and feel gratitude for.
Namaste,
Michelle


"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 42 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written."



1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short – enjoy it..

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will. 

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. Save for retirement starting with your first pay check.

9. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

10. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

11. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

12. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

13. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it...

14 Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

15. Get rid of anything that isn't useful. Clutter weighs you down in many ways.

16. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

17. It's never too late to be happy. But it's all up to you and no one else.

18. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

19. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

20. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

21. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

22. The most important sex organ is the brain.

23. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

24. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'

25. Always choose life.

26. Forgive but don't forget. 

27. What other people think of you is none of your business. 

28. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

29. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

30. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does..

31. Believe in miracles.

32. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

33. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.

34. Your children get only one childhood.

35. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

36. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

37. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

38. Envy is a waste of time. Accept what you already have not what you need.

39. The best is yet to come...

40. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

41. Yield.

42. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."
