So I made a quick comment at the end of my previous post to make sure to take care of yourself during this busy time of year. It felt like I hadn't really said what I wanted to say about that, so I'll try again:
Nobody knows how to take care of you better than you. I recently discovered that I am allergic to milk...recently being in the past year. What a difference that discovery had made in my life. I have more energy, I feel better, etc... Well, I accidentally had a bite of cheese on a sandwich the other day, and was surprised at how quickly and profoundly I was effected. It was a stupid thing, really - I just forgot to ask for my sandwich without cheese, and didn't want to spit it out and be rude. But it served as a confirmation to me that milk really doesn't agree with me, and how important it is that I am vigilant. Even if it is a little inconvenient for me and possibly for others, it is important that I take responsibility for speaking up, or avoiding foods (politely) that will make me sick.
My husband and I were recently with some friends playing a game - cornhole - and my husband's team mate was beginning to "choke" - couldn't make a shot. My hubby's advise? "RELAX!!!" His team mate's response? "Don't tell me to relax! That stresses me out more!!" Sometimes what would help someone else to deal with stress doesn't help us at all!
We all have something that we need to be vigilant about as far as taking care of ourselves. Whether its making sure we have the downtime we need, or the workout or yoga practice we need, or eating properly as much as possible in the face of all the temptations of the season. Even if it seems selfish or silly, or doesn't make sense to those around you...you are the only person who knows how to take care of yourself. Is your regular yoga practice or workout wearing you out rather than energizing you? Maybe it's a good time to try a softer practice - like a Yin or restorative practice. Is your regular softer practice leaving you needing something more vigorous to burn off that extra stress? What foods support you most and give you the energy you need to take on the extra holiday activities?
Take the time to tune in...without judgement...to what your needs are this holiday season.
Take Care...
Stacy
Oh yeah - one more schedule update - I'll be leading one section of the New Year's Day Yoga Mala at Yoga Garden this year - join us to burn away the stress and baggage of the last year, and start 2012 fresh!

Holiday Updates December 2011
Check the schedule at the right:
Moon Sequence cancelled 12/25/11 and 1/1/12
In Addition, I'll be at:
Yoga Garden on 12/15, 12:30-1:30 for Power Hour - I will rotate in every three weeks to teach this class - come see me next week, and two more dates in January - check the Yoga Garden Schedule for details.
Evolve-Namaste in Cary 12/16, and 12/23 9:30-11am, subbing for Miche's Yoga Bhoga. Come play with me! All levels welcome.
I recently video taped a couple of my practices...hopefully to share some bits with you all. So look for that coming soon, and a couple of workshops in the new year - one for beginners, and possibly a collaborative workshop with a fellow teacher. I'll keep you all posted!!
The holidays can get a little crazy for many of us, but remember to carve out some time for yourself! If we don't take care of ourselves, how can we expect to take care of others?
Happy Holidays

November Updates and Blog
Schedule updates first, then a blog post - hopefully the first of many posts in which I'd like to share my experiences and thoughts on my yoga practice on and off the mat.
It's so simple, really. The practice is already set out and waiting for me. All I have to do is come to my mat...which, admittedly, is not always so easy, but is simple! This morning I got up thinking I'd like to go to a class and do something different. So I went online and looked at the schedules for a couple of studios in my area. There were a couple of classes that looked interesting, but I wasn't really sure what to expect from them. Would this class have the backbending I really feel like I need today? Would that one be energetic enough? So I went to my mat, did my practice...and it felt great! That doesn't happen all the time...sometimes it's really hard to get to my mat, and when I do, its not the best practice ever, but I usually find something interesting there...even if it's just the realization that sometimes practice is not so easy. That's the thing about Ashtanga...It takes a little discipline to stick with it at times, but the payoff is definitely there, and the journey is one full of new discoveries. I do miss classes at times, and love to be led through a practice occasionally, just to test out some different paces and draw from that collective energy. But there is really nothing like a self-paced practice to really draw me into myself and allow that deeper exploration that is not always easy in a group setting.
- This Saturday's Mysore and Sunday's Moon Sequence classes are cancelled.
- New classes have been added at Evolve-Cary: Tuesdays 12:00-1:00pm Ashtanga Express level 1/2, and Thursdays 5:45-6:45pm Ashtanga Express Level 2. These classes will move quickly, so come ready to jump on the Ashtanga Express! ;-)
- The next Moon at the Blue is December 2. Join me at Blue Lotus for this great sequence to start your weekend off right!
- December 4 at Yoga Garden in Apex I'll be offering an Intro to Ashtanga workshop - save the date on your calendars, and keep checking the website for more details.
- Also look for more info on a Power Hour rotation at Noon on Thursdays at Yoga Garden - I'll be rotating with 2 other teachers for this class.

October Updates
Hi folks! Hope the fall weather is treating you well! I know my practice changes a bit as the weather cools. Seems like my practice slows down a bit, while my life begins to pick up speed, racing toward the holidays and the end of the year. Life is a Balance!
This month there are just a few announcements:
Next week, the schedule of mysore classes at AYC will be shifted a bit - classes will be Wednesday 10/12, and Thursday 10/13 at 11:30-1:30, and Saturday 10/15 at 9-11am. No classes on Friday. Let me know what sessions you'd like to attend and I'll save you a spot!
Friday, 10/21, 6:30-8pm is the next Moon Sequence at Blue Lotus. I'd love to see you there!
5-Day Mysore Intensive: Monday, October 24- Friday, October 28, 8am-10am at AYC.
For those with little or lots of experience with Ashtanga yoga, this is a great opportunity to deepen and renew your practice. The Mysore format is self-paced, so if you are just learning the sequence, or have always attended guided classes, this week is your opportunity to really establish the practice in your mind and body. For those with experience in a Mysore setting, this is a great way to jump-start your practice before heading into Winter, and perhaps begin to go a little deeper. For those interested in learning or practicing the Moon Sequence, that is also an option for the week. If 8am is a little too early, you can arrive as late as 8:30, and still have plenty of time for a full practice. 7:30 is also ok to arrive and get started, but please let me know ahead of time! ;-)
Donations only
Limited space, so contact me asap to reserve your spot.

The YouTube video below is a conversation with David Keil (Authorized Ashtanga teacher from Miami), explaining Mysore. Several of you have asked, and this is a nice discussion, including the quick answer, and a more in depth one as well.
Be sure to check my weekly teaching schedule to the right - I offer several Mysore sessions each week at my home studio (AYC), as well as several guided practices at various studios in the area. Hope to see you somewhere soon!

Moon at the Blue next Friday July 1, 6:30-8pm
Join me for Guided Moon Sequence at Blue Lotus in Raleigh next friday evening. The Moon Sequence is a gentle flowing vinyasa form accessible for all levels. Although this sequence was originally intended for practice on the full moon, the new moon and during the menstrual cycle, it is appropriate at any time for women or men. This sequence emphasizes the hips, groin, lower spine and abdominals, which will feel awake and alive after moving through the postures. Details at www.bluelotusnc.com
5-Day Mysore Intensive at AYC July 11-15, 6:30-8:30am
There's still space in the upcoming Mysore Intensive here at my home studio in Cary.

For those with little or lots of experience with Ashtanga yoga, this is a great opportunity to deepen and renew your practice. The Mysore format is self-paced, so if you are just learning the sequence, or have always attended guided classes, this week is your opportunity to really establish the practice in your mind and body. For those with experience in a Mysore setting, this is a great way to jump-start your practice for Summer, and perhaps begin to go a little deeper.

April News
Here's what's happening in April:
Moon at the Blue - Friday, April 1st, 6:30-8pm, Blue Lotus in Raleigh
Join me this Friday for this wonderful practice. Designed by Matthew Sweeney as a complement to the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga, The Moon Sequence focuses on strengthening and opening the hips, shoulders and sacrum area, without all the jump throughs or chaturangas, and will leave you feeling relaxed, energized, and ready to start your weekend. www.bluelotusnc.com
5-day Mysore Intensive - April 4-8, 6-8am at Ashtanga Yoga of Cary:
For those with little or lots of experience with Ashtanga yoga, this is a great opportunity to deepen and renew your practice. The Mysore format is self-paced, so if you are just learning the sequence, or have always attended guided classes, this week is your opportunity to really establish the practice in you mind and body. For those with experience in a Mysore setting, this is a great way to jump-start your practice for spring, and perhaps begin to go a little deeper. For those interested in learning the Moon Sequence, that is also an option for the week. Attend a guided Ashtanga or Moon class the previous/following Sunday, April 3/10, at Evolve Movement/Namste in Cary to complete your week! http://evolvemovement.com
Cost: $75; Contact me to reserve your space! Inghamsk@gmail.com or 919-880-9409
Moon Sequence at the Yoga Garden in Downtown Apex; Friday, April 15, 6:30-7:45pm:
I've recently begun teaching at the Yoga Garden in Apex, and couldn't be happier that they've invited me to share the Moon Sequence in their space! Please join me for a beautiful Spring evening practice. http://www.yogagardennc.com/
Coming in August - Matthew Sweeney at Ride the Breath:

March Updates
Spring is just around the corner, and I don't know about you, but I've been so inspired by the few days sprinkled in lately of beautiful weather, trees beginning to bloom, and birds chirping optimistically! I hope some of the upcoming offerings will inspire you and help your practice blossom this Spring:
Annie Pace is coming to Durham very soon!
Annie will be hosted by Ride the Breath March 11-13. This is a great weekend for those interested in learning more about Ashtanga yoga traditions. Check out the details at www.ridethebreath.com
Moon at the Blue - Friday March 18, 6-8:30pm www.bluelotusnc.com :
I know is says on the schedule that every first Friday will be Moon at the Blue, but things keep coming up! So for March, we'll do it on the 3rd Friday - which will work out well since there will be a Full Moon on March 19. Come flow with the energy of the Moon!
Ashtanga Guided Practice - Saturday, March 26, 12:30-2pm; Blue Lotus in Raleigh:
We had such a great turnout for the Blue Anniversary weekend, I thought I'd offer another Saturday afternoon practice. Bring a friend who's been wanting to try Ashtanga! All levels welcome!
