Love from the land of AZ

Warm greetings from the high desert, dear community!

I’m happy to hear that so many of you are keeping up your yoga practice under the excellent and graceful guidance of Dana, Gregory, Marieke, Palmyra, and Karlijn. I very often practice along with you from across the ocean.

Mondays 10.00 – 11.30 Palmyra, Karlijn
Tuesdays 19.00 – 20.30 Dana, Marieke
Thursdays 18.30 – 20.30 Gregory

My Mom is healing well but still in a wheelchair – it’s wonderful to have these precious weeks together with her. I will stay here in Arizona until December 17th – all classes continue through then – and then we can celebrate the winter solstice together in Amsterdam on the 21st!

Sending you love and warm desert breezes through all this time and geography – I hope this finds you SHINING.

Om Shanti,
Susan Bhagavati
