“Moving, stretching and breathing seem so simple, but something else happens: the mind rests in the body.”
-- Jivana Heyman

Happy Sunday Blue Moon. When a second full moon squeezes into a month, it becomes a blue moon. This one – on Sunday, May 31 – is a blue micromoon because it’s farther from Earth than the usual distance of 252,360 miles. This micromoon might be small, but it’s fortuitous. Astrologically speaking, when this rare blue moon occurs, it is viewed as a time of manifestation, awareness and release from what no longer serves you. Always a good thing!

This Month at Yoga Magnolia: It’s easy to feel calm and peaceful after stretching every which way for an hour, but the real challenge is bringing your practice off the mat. Yes, you’re calm, restful and full of peace after yoga, but what do you do when you don’t get your way. For those moments, good orderly direction can really help once the physical effects of an hour’s practice wear off. Even if you rely on your Christian tradition for guidance, it’s good to learn about other paths to peace of mind. The sage Patanjali wrote the Eight Limbs of Yoga in 400 AD, known as the Yoga Sutras – and we will have readings about the Limbs throughout the month of June.

Breath of the Month: In May, we practiced three minutes of Bee Breath, which I think is my favorite breath – so restful – and so good for the lungs. In June we will practice the Ha Kriya, stabilizing the breath while we sit in Goddess and punching our arms rigorously up and then out. This is going to clear away any excess stagnation you may be feeling from the winter.

No class on Tuesday, June 9: I have another medical test at Duke, so I won’t make it back in time for the 8:30 a.m. class on Tuesday. We will have a 6 p.m. class on that Tuesday though.
Happy Anniversary to Yoga Magnolia: The studio opened its doors on June 21, 2011, on the summer solstice. This year’s summer solstice falls on Sunday, June 21, so as a celebration of 15 years at Yoga Magnolia and in gratitude to my students, there will be a free class on Saturday, June 20.

Need a tune-up? Do you need to be more energetically balanced? Would you like to reduce anxiety and stress and feel calm? Biofield Tuning is a form of energy medicine that uses sound waves, produced by tuning fork vibrations, to re-tune the body out of patterns of stress and tension. During a Biofield Tuning, a client lies fully clothed on a treatment table as a tuning fork scans the body. Susanna Martin is now offering this service at the studio.

Everyone knows yoga is good for you, but it's also fun - in space and in Enfield. We have two openings (10 classes) for new students. Thursday evenings at 6 is a new Beginners Class. Message me for more details.

This Month at Yoga Magnolia - February

“The current Zodiac year (which runs January 29, 2025, to February 16, 2026) is the Year of the Wood Snake, which represents the shedding of old stories and habits, recalibrating what works for you and honoring internal intelligence. With the arrival of the Year of the Fire Horse, that clarity demands an external home with decisive, consistent action.” – Morgan Fargo

As though we didn’t do enough celebrating in December and January! Happy Chinese New Year, which begins on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. This is the Year of the Fire Horse – forward motion, endurance, strength (horse) coupled with fire (passion, creativity, transformation). Think momentum over hesitation, instinct rather than overanalyzing. Forward movement is rewarded. If you are a dog, a sheep, a tiger or a horse (according to your Chinese birth year), you are going to enjoy this Horse energy.

According to an article in Vogue (January 12, 2026): Things to do more of in the Year of the Horse:
• Regular movement and exercise that you can consistently maintain over time.
• Practicing nervous system regulation through breathwork, meditation, journaling, or time spent outdoors.
• Creating clear boundaries around when and how you rest, remembering that it’s essential, not optional.

Cancellation of Class When There Was No Snow: So, once again, I believed what WRAL was saying on Friday and I cancelled Saturday morning’s class at 8:30 a.m. (Not a flake on the ground Saturday morning.) The snow eventually came in the afternoon – about 5 inches – but we could have had class if I hadn’t jumped the gun. The one positive is that it was really COLD on Saturday morning, so maybe many of you didn’t want to venture out anyhow. Regardless, I will check multiple weather reports before cancelling again (I do hope we don’t have any more snowstorms).

Breath of the Month: Last month we worked our way up to 30 Bellows Breaths for three cycles. This is a wonderful way to strengthen the lungs (really using that diaphragm) and warm up your insides. Like Breath of Fire, Bhastrika breath is an energizing breath. This month we are going to use Breath of Fire. According to AI (my new weather forecaster), February averages around 10 days of rain, with about 3.64 inches of precipitation, often resulting in cold, damp conditions. We will let the Breath of Fire warm us up and get us ready for spring.

Two Scholarships for 10-Classes of Yoga: I would like to thank Susanna Martin for donating two scholarships for a 10-Class Yoga package. If you know someone who would benefit from yoga and you want to recommend them, let me know. I just ask that the person who gets the scholarship looks at the yoga schedule first and makes sure that they can attend the classes. If no one is nominated this month, I will put names in a hat and pick two winners of the 10 free classes. Thank you again Susanna!

This Month – January 2026

“For a change, don't add new things in your life as a new year's resolution. Instead, do more of what's already working for you and stop doing things that are time-waste.” ― Salil Jha

A new year: If you’ve been a student at Yoga Magnolia over the years, you’ll know that I am a fan of resolutions. I make them every year – and I keep a list that I review at the end of the year to see how I’ve done. I do a Top 10. Usually I keep about six new resolutions, but the other four usually appear year after year after year. One of the reasons for this is either the resolution involves other people (so I’m only 50 percent responsible) and the other reason that I don’t keep those resolutions is because I am just not ready to do what I planned. So this year, let’s make resolutions that we have control over – our diet, our health, our schedule, our pursuits (that don’t involve others). Whatever they are, be realistic. I am optimistic about 2026. I am keeping my resolutions completely within my control – anything else … I surrender to the grace of God.

So happy New Year everyone. I’m sending this monthly email out early because of the schedule at the end of December.
Tricky Schedule in December: Christmas falls in the middle of the week, so I've amended my schedule. There will not be any classes on Thursday, Christmas day. We will have a Saturday class, December 27 at 8:30 a.m. The following week is even more confusing (family in town): No classes on Tuesday, December 30 or Wednesday, December 31. There will be a FREE 8:30 a.m. class on Thursday (no 6 p.m. class on New Year's Day). There will be a class on Saturday, January 3 at 8:30 a.m. The next week, we are back to a normal schedule. Hope to see you. If I miss you, Happy Holidays and best wishes for 2026!

Breath of the Month: In December, we did not focus on the breath. Instead we tried three-minute meditations. The first week we did a Loving Kindness meditation; the second week we did a candle-gazing meditation; the third week we did a count the breath meditation, the fourth week we did a movement meditation. In the fifth week we will do a Sat, ta, na, ma meditation. What’s this? Sa ta na ma (Sanskrit: स त न म) is the name given to a fundamental kundalini kirtan kriya, which is a type of meditation. It is one of the most important meditations in Kundalini yoga and it was popularized in the West by Yogi Bhajan. Also sometimes simply called kirtan kriya, sa ta na ma is said to help reorient the mind and prepare it for transformational change.

There are several definitions that can be attributed to the sa ta na ma Sanskrit letters. Some studies attribute no meaning to the letters at all, but instead encourage the practitioner to enjoy them for their sound vibrations. Sa ta na ma is often chanted as part of a Kundalini meditation as it encourages the energy to rise in the spine and expand to the head. This awakened energy can be used for enlightenment, increased awareness and for ta***ic practices.

In January, our breath of the month will be Bellows Breath. “Bellows Breath (Bhastrika Pranayama) is a vigorous yoga breathing technique using rapid, forceful, and equal inhales and exhales through the nose, mimicking a blacksmith's bellows to energize the body, increase focus, boost metabolism, and clear the mind, often done in rounds with a straight spine.”

Two Scholarships for 10-Classes of Yoga: I would like to thank Susanna Martin, our biofield tuner at Yoga Magnolia, for donating two scholarships for a 10-Class Yoga package. If you are feeling the pinch of Christmas, and your need some financial help, let me know. If you know someone who would benefit from yoga and you want to recommend them, let me know. I just ask that the person who gets the scholarship checks the yoga schedule first and makes sure that they can attend the classes. Thank you again Susanna!

Happy Holidays!

Just want to announce that Susanna Martin, our Biofield Tuner at Yoga Magnolia, donated two 10-class scholarships for yoga. If you know someone who would benefit from one of these scholarships, please reach out to Brenda Greene. Applicants should check out the Yoga Magnolia class schedule beforehand to make sure your schedule will allow you to attend the classes.

On another matter:

Tricky Schedule in December: Christmas falls in the middle of the week, so I've amended my schedule. We will have a Tuesday, December 23 class, but Wednesday's class will be at 8:30 a.m. (instead of 6 p.m.) because that's Christmas Eve and everyone will be busy. There will not be any classes on Thursday, Christmas day. We will have a Saturday class, December 27 at 8:30 a.m. The following week is even more confusing (family in town): No classes on Tuesday, December 30 or Wednesday, December 31. There will be a FREE 8:30 a.m. class on Thursday (no 6 p.m. class on New Year's Day). There will be a class on Saturday, January 3 at 8:30 a.m. The next week, we are back to a normal schedule. Hope to see you. If I miss you, Happy Holidays and best wishes for 2026!

They are forecasting icy roads tomorrow, Tuesday, so classes are cancelled. See you Wednesday!

11/25/2025

I know everyone is busy on Thanksgiving morning - cooking, cleaning, preparing. It's hectic, but you can start your day in a peaceful mode by joining us at Yoga Magnolia for a free class at 8:30 a.m. We do it every year. There will not be a 6 p.m. class on Thursday. Hope you can make the early class.

A gorgeous day at Gratitude Farm and Retreat in Enfield. The September workshop had to be cancelled because of rain, but seven of us from Yoga Magnolia made it out there yesterday, November 1. We learned about growing mushrooms (a few of us bought a bag of oyster mushrooms, cooked them up and they were delicious) and Spanish mustangs, had a wonderful organic lunch, created a collage and ended the day with a totally relaxing tuning - given by Susanna Martin. Can't think of a better way to spend the day. Thank you Anpeytu, Rick and Susanna.

10/20/2025

We weren't able to go to our Yoga Workshop at Gratitude Farm and Retreat the last Saturday in September because of the rain, but we rescheduled for Saturday, November 1. There's still spaces leftl, so if you are interested in this four-hour workshop, from 10 until 2 p.m., let me know either through Facebook, sign up at the studio or call me. It should be a really fun day!

09/22/2025

Looking forward to this Saturday at Gratitude Farm and Retreat.
