Shakti Fire Renovation Debt Reduction Campaign

For those of you who don't know, there was a fire that spread from a neighboring business in June 2006, one year after we opened. We had to completely rebuild the walls, ceilings, floors and heating system. In addition, we lost merchandise and props, and had to rent and build out temporary space so we could continue to offer classes.

We hope you consider Shakti a valuable part of your community and we look forward to serving you well in the years to come.  If you would like to contribute to the campaign in any way, we will gratefully accept all offerings.

We have paid down $4,000 since the begining of our campaign on the Winter Solstice, 2009. Our current number is $8,347.13. Our intention is to put every effort in to being debt free by end of 2010 at the latest! All help is greatly appreciated!!


Words of Wisdom

Stages of Yoga

The first stage, arambhavastha, is when we practice at the level of the physical body. The second stage is ghatavashta, when the mind learns to move in unison with the body. The third level, parichayavastha, occurs when the intelligence and the body become one. The final stage is nispattyavastha, the state of perfection.

Spiritual awareness flows onto the student of yoga through these stages. Dukha, which is misery or pain, vanishes, and the art of living in simplicity and peace is realized.


~ B.K.S Iyengar The Path to Holistic Health
