Bill and I have been reading the “Chet and Bernie” mysteries. Chet, a mixed breed dog who failed police training, narrates his life with Bernie, the hapless and occasionally brilliant detective. While Bernie bumbles through relationships and jobs, Chet savors every moment, finding intense pleasure in anything. From riding shotgun in the car, to finding a french fry under the dining room table, to leaping through the air and tackling a perpetrator. His favorite expression is, “Does it get any better than this?

Taking a cue from Chet, Bill and I look for as many uses of that expression a day as possible.Does it get any better than fresh local blueberries for breakfast? A crescent summer moon in the west? A heart opening back bend? A chore accomplished?

I think that’s what enlightenment is – experiencing the best in any circumstances. Because every moment holds the incredible power, momentum and goodness of the pulsing Universal.

Is it that simple? Chet would think so!

Come and see the beauty of Lake Champlain in a unique way as we glide across the water.  Class starts with specific Yoga poses to strengthen and center the body.  Then we move on to the docks for a dry land lesson of Paddle boarding.  Then finally we move on to the water to experience the gentle yet physical practice of SUP.  Ultimately, in our final lesson we will be doing Yoga on the surf board in the water to develop skills of concentration, awareness and balance.

Hip and Back Stretches For Mommies-to-Be

It may not be the safest idea for an expectant momma to train for an ultra-marathon, race through the lake waterskiing, or hit the trails mountain biking, but she can and should still do moderate exercise. During my pregnancy, prenatal yoga was my saving grace. It strengthened my muscles, increased flexibility and balance (which I lost as my belly grew), and helped me mentally and physically prepare for labor. I’ve already led you through a sequence to open tight hips and hamstrings, and here’s another one that will stretch your hips and back, which should alleviate some of the lower back or pelvic pain many pregos complain of.

Dr. Sharon M. Henry R01 “Mechanisms of Specific Trunk Exercises in Low Back Pain”

Are you between 21-55 years old and suffer from chronic, low back pain?

You may be eligible to participate in a research study, conducted by the University of Vermont, that includes the following benefits:

- Pre and post-treatment testing sessions at the UVM Human Motion Analysis Lab (includes a free physical therapy evaluation)

- 6 physical therapy treatment sessions with a physical therapist at no charge to you or your health insurance

- $100 total compensation upon completion of study

The purpose of this study is to examine whether or not matching treatment to your specific symptoms is better at decreasing your pain and increasing your function than a non-specific strengthening/conditioning program.

This study is being conducted by Dr. Sharon M. Henry, Professor and Associate Dean of Research at the University of Vermont, College of Nursing and Health Sciences.

For more information or to sign-up, please call 802-656-1478, or e mail HLBPS@uvm.edu

Q: What are you most excited about ?

Jane: The space created by the combined practice and rhythms of music and yoga.

Q: What makes this workshop unique?

Jane: The live music and tuning fork and high vibrations help students easily access present moment awareness and santosha contentment.  If you’re someone who likes to dance or plays an instrument, or simply likes to listen to music, then come notice the freedom available to you in your yoga practice when you combine those two elements.  It is the mind-body link.

“Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. “ ~Kahlil Gibran
