Dear Yoga Student,

amrita logoThese recent winter months I have been
immensely grateful for the amrita
community and the place it has in my life. As
the birth of my first child approaches (within
weeks!), I'm in the midst of a huge life
transition and transformation; the support
that I've had here during this time has been amazing.

You are all -the individuals who make up the amrita
community- so unique, diverse and kindhearted. Thank
you for the warm welcome that I had when I first
joined the amrita staff, and thank you for your
continued inspiration in my daily life. Mid-month I will
be taking some time off to bond with my new baby and
get accustomed to my new roll as Mom, but I look
forward to returning to my roll here at amrita in just a
few months.
Until then ...

Namaste,
~Kerstyn

Greetings everyone!  I hope
this newsletter finds you
well and continuing along
with your reflections for the
New Year.
As I reported in my classes in early January, my
process with "New Year's Resolutions" is to wait until
something palpable arises from one of my "savasana
spells"; and then to wait to see if it arises again and
again.  Out of that process, my resolution for this
period in my life is: to not avoid my discomfort.

TurningPoint Greetings from Turning Point ~
with Coach Barb Beck

www.coachbeck.com
 
As a Life Coach, I have the honor and
blessing to partner with people as they
commit to an area (or areas) of change
on their personal path.    My passion for Coaching stems not
only from seeing how the Coaching principals so beautifully
support us to create lasting change in our lives, but also from
simply witnessing how a painful pattern or way of moving in
the world becomes released.  From that place, doors open and
we can embrace new perspectives courageously.
