Beloved former YCC sojourning into Yoga Shala by the Sea

IMG_2175.jpeg

Yoga Shala by the Sea is in a charming historical building with one of the most sacred iconic yoga practice spaces in the area. This  beloved cOMmUnity cottage has been a  hOMe for yoga since 1988, and the past 35 years as our former beloved Yoga Center of Carmel.

Yoga Center of Carmel was my first yoga hOMe in California since moving from the East Coast in 2015. The commUnity, the quality of the love, equanimity, joy, satya(truth) and nectar of the practice illuminates through the space. During our first year of moving here and care taking our YCC and all those before ~ it is a blessed space and a blessing to be able to continue the tradition of yoga and practices that nourish the body, mind and spirit in the beloved, commUnity Cottage #18.

When I received the message the Yoga Center of Carmel closed

Together we ask and listen…

What color would you like to be Shala; our dear yoga commUnity hOMe and abode?

Ahhh! Sea sage green we see!

Thank you Shala Handy Man John Schultheis! “Dream and love as big as the sky”

Every dab of color introduced, the fine textures impressed in the paint—this accumulation of many small acts combines to shape a final work of art.  And so it is with life; each step, each deed, each brief choice builds gradually, day by day, to shape both character and destiny.” ― Richelle E. Goodrich

John Lennon's grammar school teacher asked the children to write what they want to be when they grow up. John wrote "I want to be happy." The teacher told him, “you didn't understand the assignment.” John replied, "No, you don't understand life."
