NM yoga friends, a very special opportunity in September: François Raoult is returning to Albuquerque! Register now, don’t miss out on this incredible treat.

A dynamic, brilliant, hilarious, and deeply committed practitioner and teacher of yoga, I’m so excited to study again with François, who is ever learning and evolving, living the path. It’s bound to be a wonderful weekend of mystical sadhana, as we celebrate François’s 50 years of teaching anniversary!

When I began study with Kim Schwartz in 2003, I was soon introduced to two of his main teachers, Ramanand Patel, and François Raoult, who were both students of BKS Iyengar. For many years, François taught mind blowing workshops annually in Albuquerque (before Covid) and every year I would attend; some of my most profound experiences in asana and especially savasana and pranayam have been with this teacher. I’m so happy he’s coming back to the Southwest, don’t miss this amazing opportunity!

- Avery

The Francois Raoult workshop will be located at Albuquerque School of Healing Arts - the space that used to be home to the beloved High Desert Yoga Del Pacifico 💛

Here’s a sequence & affirmation I made last year for Leo season. ☀️ 💌🌻
Today is an eclipse day, in Leo! South node, letting go…
Every 6 months or so, there’s a couple of eclipses, which astrologically move backwards through the zodiac.

There’s nothing special you need to ‘do,’ it’s a good time to lay low. The energy is unstable. Let the meaning will unfold on its own.

Eclipses often bring change, revelations that shift the trajectory, beginnings and endings, turning a corner, and an intensity of emotions or energy.

Spiritual and ‘self care’ disciplines can be especially important.

Not because we need to fear these changes, but because eclipses are energetically destabilizing. The ways you establish stability, grounding, perspective, and a lighthearted flexible attitude towards the unexpected things in life in yoga practice can be a real source of grace this and next week.

We’ve been exploring backbends in class, such a good way to feel more grounded and open and energized.
Love to have you join us in class!

Also, thanks for all the love, after my last post. Made a difference. Glad to feel the goodness of community that is wide and real.

PSA 💌🏳️‍⚧️
there’s been a real uptick of hateful trans phobic comments n messages on Instagram these days.
Feels bad to be on the receiving end of that stuff. A lot of delusion and suffering out here.
It’s one reason I’m choosing to put most of my energy elsewhere.

I’m actually doing really great, l’ve been focusing a lot on lyengar yoga practice & study, Vipassana meditation, rad q***r community and fam.

I love the BEAUTIFUL work I’m exploring with my students in Sadhana Support Collective. Sangha is magic!

Come to Restorative tonight if you need to rest. Our monthly trans hang is right after.

Tomorrow morning’s class we’ll be exploring functional shoulder strength and stability, embodied presence for equanimity and compassion…

I teach 5 classes weekly on Zoom, it’s easy to sign up, sliding scale, and you can try your first one free.
I also have a huge on-demand library with over 1000 classes. I regularly teach in person workshops, and I also offer private sessions in person in Albuquerque and virtually worldwide. The first week of October, I’ll be teaching a three day workshop in Denver at Evolition - stay in the loop at
YOGAWITHAVERY.COM

local friends, join me at Nirguna Yoga this Friday, I’m offering a free yoga philosophy talk followed by a potluck. There’s an option to stay on for the weekend workshop or just come to the dharma talk.

May peace truth trust and awakening continue to unfold in our hearts minds and collective reality.
With love,
Avery
