asana and yogi of the month
one-legged pigeon pose "dove"/eka pada rajakapotasana
The benefits of this pose include strenghtening the abdominal muscules, massaging the internal organs, enhancing the elasticity of the spine, developing internal balance and harmony, feelings of energy, vigor and vitality.

yogi of the month
This month Tranquil Space honors Leslie Silverman who writes the following about her experience: "I am a relatively new yogi, having taken yoga off and on at various places with different instructors for the past two years. Yet, it was not until a friend and I walked into the intimate studio in the back of the 16th Street church six months ago and took my first class with Kimberly that I knew I would be coming back for more! Aside from its relaxed setting and friendly atmosphere, I was equally drawn to the flow of movement that Tranquil Space provides. The practice is teaching me patience with myself, and to understand my limits and when I am ready to reach further.

Yoga reinforces for me a meditation of Wayne Dyer’s that was read on retreat in Costa Rica last week: "The ability to create magical relationships in your life begins and ends with you. If you want to create miracles for yourself and truly live a fulfilled, self-actualized life, you need only accept complete responsibility for how you choose to go about relating to all of the other people with whom you share this planet." From asanas that require us to open our hearts to those that bring us to the edge, I begin to understand this meaning of responsibility and how we relate to others."

kimberly's closing thoughts
"March arrives, the last hurrah of winter and the first whisper of spring. Slowly our spirits awaken, along with the natural world, from a long winter's slumber. Branches that just days ago were bare, now blossom with new growth. Deep within we feel stirrings of hope. Turn over the earth in the inner garden." ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach


Tranquil Space Yoga Spring is a beautiful time of the year to evaluate our practice of yoga and life. The dead of winter begins to come alive and flowers press up from the barren earth. This is the season when the world around us is blooming with freshness, life and vitality, and why shouldn't we, too? One of my favorite post-practice readings is, "Life is profoundly cyclical, the wheel never stops turning. No matter how cold the winter, spring always comes. Why despair over only part of the cycle?" I find this so appropriate to reinforce the ever changing cycle in the mood of one's yoga and life practice.

This time of rebirth and growth from dormancy in nature can serve as a reminder of approaching the practice of life and yoga in a similar manner. Notice what has been brewing deep inside over the past few months of hibernation. Any hidden desires for change, new challenges, opportunities or adventures? Use this new season as a chance to experiment with these dormant desires, allowing them to blossom with the outside world. Become aware of how bringing this new sense of adventure and play to the yoga mat can help your practice of life and yoga explode with joy.

Blessings,
Kimberly Wilson
Creative Director


May our bodies and minds be healthy. May our thoughts be filled with love. May our practice be free of obstacles. May we carry its benefits into the world.
