Saturday Sangha Day

In the Buddha's time, a community that came together to practice, as we do, was called a sangha. To celebrate our Circle Yoga sangha, we have been offering a monthly Saturday Sangha Day, where we gather to connect and to talk about our practice, both on and off the mat.

On the first Saturday of each month (except when we are not in session), from 5-6:30 pm, one of our yoga teachers facilitates a discussion on a practice topic. All are welcome, and there is no fee. We usually do a few minutes of sitting meditation, followed by introductions, and then an open sharing of how we are practicing with respect to the topic for the day. In addition, every Saturday Sangha Day we offer 10% off all merchandise in our shop.

The Sound of Silence
with Annie
Saturday, March 6, 5-6:15pm

For this dark winter month we will share our experiences with turning inward in our practice, taking time for silence in order to remind ourselves of who we are and what we need. When we are always outwardly focused, we can lose track of ourselves. Does turning inward allow us to more easily live from our deepest intentions? We will share how we make time for silence, and how silence affects us in our daily lives and in our yoga practice.

Sweet Darkness
by David Whyte

When your eyes are tired
the world is tired also.
When your vision has gone
no part of the world can find you.
Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.
There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your womb
tonight.
The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see.
You must learn one thing,
The world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and
the sweet confinement of your
aloneness to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.
