Gabriel arrived on Saturday, December 5th, 2009 at 7:35 p.m. His birth was the most amazing day of my life and changed it forever more.

I once heard that a baby’s crown chakra, his “soft spot” isn’t fully developed because he is still so close to the divine spirit, being so new on this earth. And when I look into Gabriel’s eyes, so bright and pure, I reckon I am as close to God as I have ever been.

Although my asana practice has been minimal since his arrival, Gabriel reminds me of several yogic principles everyday. Anytime I start to think too much about planning for the future, Gabriel seems to call for me again – to be fed, or cuddled, changed or entertained…. and I am reminded to be present and to serve. Although at times, the serving can seem exhausting, he also reminds me to rest, and to breathe anytime (which is often) that I nurse him. And I have to say, life is so incredibly sweet since his arrival here on earth. I have never felt so content, so exactly “who I am and where I am meant to be”.

Please check out the new calendar for February as well as the new classes in the class list. Gabriel has a wonderful papa who will be looking after him during these times and classes are set to resume February 4th.

Many blessing to you and yours for a healthy, happy, and joyous new year! I hope to see you all soon!

Namaste, Christina
