Many Eastern traditions (Thai massage and acupuncture to name two) believe the body is filled with numerous tubes and channels (often called energy channels). Yoga is no different. The Sanskrit word ‘nadi’ actually translates as tube or flow. In Pranakriya/Kripalu yoga, we call the Nadis channels.

THINK … Let it GO!

What you can control…is yourself, your thoughts and your actions. That’s not to say that bad things or people will not affect us. What it means is that Read More

This coming Friday, Aug. 26, will mark the end of the Los Alamos Summer Concert Series for 2022. Summer is quickly coming to a close. For the past few months, each Friday I’ve been setting up Saint Job’s little mobile chapel at the pond for the concerts. I think we’ve only missed two.
