Dear
Yoga Student,
 Greetings and Happy New Year to all in our community! In my own life I was most aware that a new year would bring changes when one January 1st I was awaiting the birth of my daughter Claire, who will be 22 this year. My fellow teacher Lisa Keays (who will be teaching a special New Year's Day workshop here at Amrita!) told me of a saying that how a person spends the first day of the year determines how he or she will experience the rest of the year. Maybe it's a good thing Claire took her time and was born January 18, so not all that year was intense labor! It's clear how rushing throughout a day so easily becomes rushing one's way through life's activities in general. Stepping on to the yoga mat with a quality of curiosity can pave the way to greeting challenging situations with a co-worker with a similar quality of curiosity, which can lead to empathy. At the threshold of this fresh year, I am spending some time in quiet contemplation of what qualities I want to embody on and off my mat, and then for January 1st I plan to create a day in alignment with those intentions-I'd share more with you but I'm still contemplating! I know the day will include some quiet, some fun, some food, and remembering how I am blessed to be part of this yoga community. I hope you enjoy the many offerings at Amrita in this next year.
Namaste -
Patricia
Patricia teaches our tuesday evening pre-natal (5:30pm) and level 2 (7:15pm) classes, and our friday morning (7:00am) class.

Happy New Now!
Sarahjoy is currently practicing her annual technology fast and has asked me to write a note to the fabulous community at amrita.
I've been here four months now and feel warmly welcomed and much better aligned in my work and asana practice! Thank you all for being such an integral part of the co-creation that is amrita.
