"Like never before, we in the West are involved in a medical and health revolution, a dynamic, world-changing revolution in which Eastern and Western medical ideologies are converging and being reorganized into a new system of 'vertical integration'. Acupuncture is meeting the hypodermic needle. Pharmaceuticals and surgery are collaborating with Eastern therapeutic protocols."

Dear Ananda Kiamsha

 

And now we EXHALE!!! SHAKTI MindBody Studio has arrived. We will open our doors on April 30, 2007, with the first class at 12:10pm (Shakti Inner Fire). The Shakti energy is flowing through us, and we are extremely excited to welcome you to your new yoga and holistic healing home.

 

 

SHAKTI HOME

Located in the Mt. Vernon Square community, at 1015 ½ 7th St., NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20001. Right next door to Alperstein furniture and across from the WashingtonConvention Center. 3 blocks from the Gallery Pl Metro and 2 blocks from Mt. Vernon Metro. Metered parking on 7th St until 6:30pm.

 

 

So I'm sure you are wondering, who created SHAKTI. We are Ieshia Ali and Faith Hunter, two very passionate and dedicated yogis who love yoga, life, family, and sharing the practice of healing. Many of you know us very well, and some of you are new friends who we found on this journey of new beginnings. Over a year ago, we met of course, in a yoga studio. From that moment we were connected, and in September of 2006 we decided to chat about what we wanted to offer the DC community. Well, after many conversations, pure planetary alignment, and the deep commitment to celebrate life, we are ready to share the practice of yoga, love, community giving, personal enlightenment, and life devotion. To learn more about us and our amazing collection of instructors, read instructor bios at www.shaktimindbodystudio.com

 

How appropriate it is to open the studio in the beauty of Spring? After all of us have spent the last few months in coats and winter gloves, now it is time to watch the May flowers bloom and take long walks with our beloved. SHAKTI is DC's new "Life Flower." We planted seeds many moons ago, and now in partnership with you, we can watch the budding, growth and development of this new "kula" (Sanskrit for community).

 

Our monthly e-newsletter will be one of the many ways to communicate with the kula. As we shape our approach and identify the needs of the kula, we will share the latest SHAKTI updates, provide healing tips, and offer ways you can help your community through advocacy and karma outreach. Like Gandhi said "Be the change you want to see in the world." So SHAKTI is here to be that vessel for change, on a personal, local and world level.

 

Thank you for hanging in with us, and we can't wait to see your divine SHAKTI energy flow.

 

Many Blessings and Namaste!

 

Faith Ieshia

Theme of the Month

Be Open

This is a very simple thought, yet one of the hardest to follow. In mind and spirit we want to "be open" to the possibilities, the wonders, the good, the bad, and all that life sends our way. However, being human sometimes blocks our intentions to "be open." One principle to help us achieve this state of openness is Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra is a program of deep relaxation, intensive self-inquiry, and profound meditation. In Yoga Nidra you systematically investigate the physical body, the energy body, the sensations, feelings and emotional bodies, the bodies of imagery, and the bodies of bliss and personal ego. During Yoga Nidra, you dive in deep, explore, and bring feelings, sensations, and emotions into the consciousness. As you embody this transformation, the heart, mind and soul OPEN to the wonders of your true divine self.

 

One major component of SHAKTI is the offering of pranayama and meditation classes. During these sessions, concepts such as Yoga Nidra and many other techniques will be explored. Also feel free to speak to one our fabulous instructors.

Mind l Body l SoulOver the next few months, you will hear us talk about "Bio-dynamic Living." Bio-dynamic Living is simply the fusion of traditional healing practices systematically merged into our daily lives. It is about uncovering our path to soul freedom, clearing space for inspiration, and fearlessly deepening the understanding of self, which will ultimately lead to bountiful living. SHAKTI's philosophy is that there are many paths to achieving true balance in the body, mind, and soul. Influenced by a range of Eastern and Western philosophies, SHAKTI is committed to helping each person realize their own potential. By fully embracing our Bio-dynamic Living approach, we will offer yoga, yoga therapy, meditation, massage, holistic health counseling, Pilates, wellness workshops, customized services, and much more. So whatever your path, authentic Bio-dynamic healing practices will inherently lead you to balanced living and reveal the SHAKTI in you.
