Yoga – Tuesday – March 29

Greetings My Yoga Peeps…….

Tomorrow evening we will meet for our 6 pm class as scheduled.  Fifty minutes of Yoga and no meditation tomorrow evening as we are car-pooling to the National Cathedral to walk The Labyrinth. We will leave promptly at 7:00 pm. If you are not attending Yoga with us, but you would like to go with us please be on time for our departure.

Please be thinking about an “intension” that you wish to meditate on, or you may pick a “word” that is meaningful for you – a word that you can repeat as you walk the Labyrinth.  Such as joy, patience, understanding or perhaps love.  This will be your word to carry with you for the next year to help you with your spiritual reflective journey

Meditation is an important component to a spiritual yoga practice. I wish you heartfelt discernment as you choose your word or your intention,  and I will offer prayer for all of you, that you find truth in your personal spiritual journey.

See you tomorrow evening.

Yoga at Arlington – Thursday/March 24 – Postponed

You decided that because it’s “Holy Week” that we will all meet next week for our yoga class. The Church of  the Brethren, Arlington Forest UMC and Del Ray UMC all have services on Maudy Thursday. So it was a  unanimous decision that we would see each other and pick up where we left off on March 31st at 6 pm.

Happy Easter and Blessings to all!

Maudy Thursday at Del Ray UMC

May we share a personal humbling experience that is available at our Del Ray United Methodist Church tomorrow evening at  7:30 pm, March 24th.

Maudy Thursday is a special service that includes the celebration of foot washing, the act of humble physical caring for another, a practice that Jesus introduced to his disciples. It is then followed by an invitation to all who love Him, who earnestly repent of their sin and seek to live in peace with one another,  to join together in receiving the sacrament of Holy Communion.

WE invite you to join us for this years Holy Maudy Thursday at Del Ray UMC.

Yoga Tonight at Del Ray United Methodist Church

---

Our class meets tonight at 6 pm. You can enter Lundsford Hall through the side glass door facing Clyde Street.  In our class we have fun and we are getting fit. Bring your yoga mat, a small blanket and your water.  We practice 50 minutes of yoga followed by 15 minutes of meditation, which is optional. Please dismiss yourself quietly at the end of our session if you do not wish to stay for the meditation.

The address for Del Ray UMC is 100 E Windsor. We do have a small parking lot but our Tuesday class usually allows for ample street parking as well.

Wear shorts or loose fitting pants.  No need to be all dressed up in a yoga leotard. Just be comfortable. It’s best to practice yoga in your bare feet so you are safe and won’t slip during out sessions.

If you will be a first timer, please try to arrive 15 minutes early to complete the necessary paperwork.  We accept cash or check and fees are payable prior to class commencement.

See you this evening. Namaste!

Our ORCHID, Two Month Bloom…..and Counting

On March 25th we posted our monthly gardening column providing you with how to care for and successfully grow orchids. That day we had over 825 “hits” on our site telling us how much this information helped our Orchid junkies. We were so encouraged by all your comments. Today we are coming up on the two month mark, and our beautiful specimen is still going strong. Included in this post is the original pic and today’s pic. Amazing!!!

The text of our care for orchids can be found by going to search on our About Us page, using Orchids – 101  Enjoy!
