It’s the beginning of my favorite three month stretch of the year. It’s when all of my kids turn different ages, start some fun holiday celebrations, and become witness to the drastic changes in the landscape.
October is usually when we celebrate Ohana’s anniversary. Happily I have taught in Contoocook for over 10 years, but as an entity of Ohana for eight years, and three at our current location! We could have not done this without you. Thank you can not even express how we feel about having this safe sacred space that is open to you. Our family is growing, and it feels amazing to expand offerings that blend each teachers unique background with their own style. Generally life can cause pain and heartache. We want you to have a respite to find small ways to help deal with the difficulties head on. To use this collective space to guide you away mental and physical pain, if at least for an hour.
We have scheduled a free community class where you can come and sample the different instructors. It was so heartwarming for us to come together as a studio to thank you for all of your support. Details are below.
Please see what else we have to offer the remainder of the year!

Lost Time
“Time is our most valuable currency. Without time we have nothing. When circumstances outside of our control go askew, we are quick to label these experiences in our mind as “unfair”, “frustrating” and “stressful”, in turn fueling feelings of anxiety, depression and anger. What we fail to realize is this pattern leaves us falling victim to perceived threats and negative thinking. The world is capable of being harsh, unforgiving and a struggle. The sooner we embrace the shadow side of life with acceptance and compassion we create room for more enriching experiences. Every time we lose ourselves in thoughts and emotions that don’t serve us, we are choosing to throw small pieces of our life away. We must choose wisely.”

 Free Community Class
Open House / Anniversary Celebration October 27th – 10am-12pm
We want to thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s time for our yearly celebration of a free two hour long class where you can sample some of our instructors. Each will teach for approximately 10 minutes to show you their style, and be available for questions afterward.
It is good for many reasons. It gives us the opportunity to thank you for supporting us for so long, it helps us be in community, and it gives you time to experience an instructor you may have been missing.
I am always proud that we have this wonderful space open to all. Where we can take care of you. Problems can be checked at the door, and we have many different classes that take care of the physical and emotional well being of what it is to be human.
Come if you are already a student.
Come if you have always wanted to, but haven’t.
Come if you want to just be part of the celebration!

 Let go of Stress: Manifest your goals
w/Josephine Fanelli
October 13th – 12-3pm – $30
In this workshop we’ll do Kundalini Yoga, and meditation to bring relief and clarity to the mind and body. We’ll talk about what are stressors, how does stress effect the body, our day to day, and our eating habits. Then we’ll do a vision board to take home, or to the office to keep that intention and relief near to you when you need it. |
    Drepung Gomang Monks Visit Contoocook!
November 4th – 11th, 2019
Five years ago some monks from the Drepung Gomang Monastery visited our little town of Contoocook, NH. They made their mark all around town, spreading compassion and kindness. Their work on the sand mandala and ceremony to disperse the sand into the river was one of touching sentiment. The night of food at the library, the sacred arts display of dance and chant was also one for the books.
I am happy to announce that they will be back this neck of the woods and I couldn’t be happier. We will, again, all need to work together to gather supplies of food, flowers, and places for them to set up.
They work all on donations to fund their land and space in India governed by the Dalai Lama, and I know our town will step it up to provide them funds to bring back to their cherished homestead. In exchange, they show us their traditions and ceremonies of Tibet.
Please stay tuned for how you can help, and what the schedule will be during that week. My heart is so happy for this opportunity again.
