Dearest Ones,

What a wonderful Equinox celebration we shared together this week with such heartfelt offerings from the Montclair Kundalini Yoga team of teachers. It was such an honor to enter the transformative fire with you once again as we stepped forward into the life of our dreams as a community. It never fails to bring tears as we share from our hearts with visionary courage. Thank you to all who participated, thank you for being such lights on our planet.

***Our beloved online Equinox attendees (In-Person attendees not shown)***

After several difficult weeks grieving the loss of our long-time animal companions, Cate and I have both entered new phases of our lives.

Many tears have turned into smiles at my house because of a darling new ginger kitty named Sylvan, who is reminiscent of my prior kitty Kidd and connected to Kidd on the international psychic kitty network😊

Cate and her family are leaving their hearts open to the possibility of a new canine companion and Cate has landed and started a wonderful new job as a yoga and English instructor, working one-on-one with some wonderful young people at a nearby private school. It is hard to imagine a more perfect job to match her immense talents, gifts and wealth of experience. We all wish Cate the best of luck in this new endeavor.

Peace & Blessings, Savitri & Your MKY Family

P.S. Please keep reading for my blog and our upcoming class series.

Breathing New Life into Life

I am delving deeply into my Chi Gung practice with renewed vigor these days, studying with the legendary Tai Chi and Chi Gung master Robert Chuckrow. Robert brings the Taoist arts vividly alive for us by constantly emphasizing discovery and experimentation. His own tireless sense of wonder encourages us to explore new vistas of consciousness in every session. With characteristic enthusiasm, he models how to make the practice ever fresh, ever new, as we unlock the powerful flow of healing Chi in countless ways. Even if I live 300 years or more, I could never run out of new things to explore: That’s the secret Robert manages to impart. Each insight he shares goes far beyond the practice floor, and when applied comprehensively, leads to a strong life, well lived. As we endlessly explore and polish our practice, we polish our lives.

Cate’s Online Fertility Support & Yoga

In partnership with NJ Acupuncture & Wellness, we are offering an online weekly support group with yoga for women on a fertility journey. The path to fertility can be a lonely one, but it doesn’t have to be. Let's come together and support ourselves and one another. Our focus will be on releasing anxiety through talk, movement, breath exercises, relaxation, and meditation. Your facilitator will be Cate Baily, RYT-500, an experienced yoga instructor and meditation coach. Cate will provide a safe, comfortable environment and guidelines for keeping discussion supportive and sensitive. Lift each other up and relieve your own stress!

Absolutely no yoga experience required. Limited to 10 participants. The cost is $120 for all six sessions.

Kundalini Yoga for Recovery w/ Meredith

Meredith Kates will be offering her six month ‘Kundalini Yoga for Recovery’: a supportive practice which specifically applies the techniques of Kundalini Yoga to transform the self-destructive patterns of addiction, to heal and to establish more elevating habits. This series incorporates elements of both twelve step recovery programs and Kundalini Yoga and meditation techniques. It is appropriate for both newcomers and more experienced yoga students. ‘Kundalini Yoga for Recovery’ will meet online the first Sunday afternoon of each month for six months, starting in November. The investment will be $120. Stay tuned for the sign up link in next week’s newsletter.
