Happy Birthday Yoga East!

This March marks the 10 year anniversary of Yoga East sharing the traditional practice of Ashtanga Yoga with the Seacoast community.

Over the last ten years I have witnessed so much change in our town, in the greater community and certainly at Yoga East. As a yoga community we have all shared so much together through practice and friendship. I have walked through a great deal in the last decade, as I know many of you have as well, and it has been such a source of peace and comfort to feel the strength of the Yoga East community. Through each breath the thread that has tied us together is practice.

When we show up to practice, to carve out an hour or two each day, or even once a week, we honor ourselves, we honor the lineage and all that practice with us. We come to practice to know a deeper truth, to locate within ourselves something sacred and to connect to the strength that is part of being in community. When we come to practice we arrive to a community of like- minded people who love to breathe and sweat their prayers and reach deeply into themselves. On a given day, you may not know the person's name that is practicing beside you but in practicing yoga together we share the mutual feelings of love, respect, devotion and connectedness. This is why we come together, to celebrate together, to struggle together, to practice together in our Sangha.

And so it is to all of you, my students and peers and fellow teachers and practitioners with whom I am walking this path, that I offer my deepest, most heart- felt gratitude for ten amazing years of practice, sweat, love and intention. It is a great honor to lead this community and to transmit and share the lineage of Ashtanga Yoga, but the true strength of Yoga East resides in all of you, in all of us.


In gratitude and peace,

Kimberly
