Please click the image to the left of the description for details.

Lotus Spike Mat
   Don't be fooled by its spiky appearance - this mat is built for hardcore relaxation! Using the methods of acupressure, its 6,500 plus points stimulate the tactile corpuscles - nerve endings just below the skin - like its ancient predecessor, the bed of nails. This induces the release of endorphins into the blood, stimulates circulation and increases oxygen intake.

Lotus Spike Pillow
   This companion to the Lotus Spike Mat can do wonders all by itself. Much more comfortable than you would initially suspect, the neck pillow stimulates nerve endings around the cervical spine to help alleviate stress and increase circulation. I can say from successful experimenting the sensation of those tiny spikes at the base of your skull is stimulating and enjoyable.

Salubrion Enso Clock
   Its very high quality recordings of Japanese and Tibetan singing bowls make you look forward to hearing this unique timer go off. Its special Interval Timing function allows the user to set up to 50 timers for customizing any sequence of sessions. It can also be used simply as an alarm clock. Imagine waking up gently to the sound of singing bowls!

Kulae 8-foot D-ring Straps
   These durable, light weight, all-cotton straps are designed to go the distance. The extra long eight-foot straps give you ample room to extend your reach and wrap around your hands - deepening the stretch and stabilizing your pose. The D-ring buckles are also lightweight, but sturdy and the securely stitched ends mean no pesky metal tabs.

Daily Energy Vinyasa Flow DVD
  This is the perfect DVD for busy yogis! Shiva Rea says that practicing each day, even for short periods, is more beneficial than an occasional longer session. These seven dynamic 20-minute sequences make it easy to fit yoga in. The segments can be mixed, matched and combined using the DVD's Yoga Matrix to create a fantastic variety of longer practices.

Awakening the Spine by Vanda Scaravelli
   Awakening the Spine is the culmination of Vanda Scaravelli's decades of experience exploring the union of breath, gravity and anatomy. This beauti ful, philosophical look at the body and the practice of yoga, is a gem formed over many decades. Its brilliance will delight, inspire and teach all who view it.

Yoga Mind Body & Spirit by Donna Farhi
  Donna Farhi is an internationally well respected, visionary yoga teacher who, in this volume, shares her special philosophy, while delving deep into instructions on the poses. She uniquely leads us through multiple variations of the poses, including restorative and prenatal forms and the correct use of props.

Spirit Community Website HV
  For those on the path in the Hudson Valley region of New York this site will be a welcome guide to what is going on. In just two weeks 75 members have joined and have begun sharing about dozens of events like kirtans, body work demonstrations, meditations, and art workshops . There is a directory where you can find teachers and resources. There are blogs, groups and more.

  As much as I like all the great new items we are offering this month, I don't think any of them excite me as much as the new Spirit Community Website for the Hudson Valley. Something that is clear to me is that Yoga Centers around here and all over have become way more than just places to do yoga. They are often centers for all kinds of explorations, events and community offerings. Unfortuntately, what is going on in each place is often not well publicized due to lack of time, budgets, interests of local media, etc. The spirit community site is a way to jump over all that so that seekers and teachers can come together directly, circumventing limits and reaching over borders. Already people are learning about great things they never would have known about and people are coming together, who never would have met. How cool is that?
If you are in or near the Hudson Valley Region of NY, please check it out and join in. If not, I hope you'll use it when you come to visit.

PS I have found that sending the monthly emailing twice is welcomed by most recievers. Some like the reminder of items they were considering and quite a few miss the first go round due to busy lives and volumes of email, so there is a better chance they have time to look at it if it comes again. I will put Reprise in the subject line and title of resends so those who have seen them can ignore them and not fear that they are missing something ;-) Apologies to anyone who has asked to be taken off the list in the last 6 weeks, we are a little behind with that but hope to be caught up soon...
