Sun & Moon Yoga Studio Newsletter Summer 2014 by Sun And Moon Yoga Studio

Fall 2014

False Identity by Amir I am not a yoga teacher. This may sound strange, since I have taught yoga to many of you over the years. What I mean is that I don’t wear the label of "yoga teacher" as the sole definition of who I really am. Some day in the future, this will serve me well. Because our minds are conditioned to be outwardly oriented, we default to a self-definition in terms of career title, material possession, social status, physical description, or belief system. "I am a mother," and "I am the manager" are common examples. So are "I am tall," and "I am old," and "I am American." It's true that we require this definitive and separate sense of self in order to function as individuals. This knowledge makes us capable of arranging our thoughts and behaving appropriately in agreed-upon roles. Yes, it's necessary to possess this "ego" or sense of self. However, to over-identify with and attach ourselves to these labels puts us on shaky ground. The yoga sutras refer to this “false identification” or “ego” as asmita, and pinpoint it as one of five basic causes of suffering. Even when we have positive associations with our definitions of self, they are exactly the same ones that ultimately make us vulnerable and insecure. In fact, it's especially when we like what we currently "are," that we're bound for trouble, because these things are guaranteed to change. Every time we self-categorize or self-define, we are referring to the outward, material, and temporary aspect of being. The focus becomes what we do or what others can see, but only for the time being. We forget that we are also, and always, universal. Enjoying the transitory aspects of life is part of its beauty and richness. These aspects of your “self” are an important part of who you are. They're just not all that you are. If you can recognize that there is something deeper within you that is unchanging, and that this changeless reality is, in fact, your true and authentic “self," you are less likely to be bothered by changes beyond your control. Grieving over these changes is healthy, but even better is to layer the grief with understanding that none of it affects who you are at your core. The philosophical underpinnings of yoga point to selfunderstanding, wisdom and contentment as the keys to a peaceful life. We learn that the more connected we are with the unchanging self, the less we suffer from the inevitable changes all around us. One of modern science's greatest sages said pretty much the same thing. From Albert Einstein, “a human being...experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison..." One day, I will no longer teach yoga, for some reason yet to be known. When that day comes, I hope I'll have the presence of mind to know that, while it lasted, it was meaningful and enriching, and without it, I will continue to be exactly the same inner, conscious, connected being that I always was.

Sun & Moon Yoga Studio is among the country’s premier schools for the study and practice of yoga. We’ve shared our teachings with over 10,000 students since the early 1990s. We embrace a holistic approach to this ancient system of health and healing, offering our cherished students a well-rounded yoga education and practice to help them feel better inside and out. Our philosophy is based on an eclectic blend of hatha yoga traditions with instructors who share a strong passion for teaching and a commitment to giving students a nurturing home for exploring the art and science of yoga.

While this schedule is current as of printing, there may be changes. Please check our website at sunandmoonstudio.com for the most up-to-date information. 5

General Information and Fees REGISTRATION INFORMATION AND FEES Sun & Moon is a school of yoga, with weekly classes structured to provide a wellrounded curriculum over an entire quarter. We run four quarters per year; depending on the season, the length of the quarter varies. We welcome beginners and new students at any time. Your first class is free! Once you decide to sign up for a class, you can register online at sunandmoonstudio.com; or by phone, mail, or in person. We accept credit cards, checks or cash. If you’re redeeming a gift certificate or studio credit, please do so by phone or in person. We offer the following options for class registrations:

MAKE-UPS Consider your registered class your “homeroom” for yoga. However, if you can’t make it to your registered class, you can make it up in any other class within the current quarter at either studio. Make-ups in advance of a future absence are allowed. When you are doing a make-up, sign in at the front desk and inform the teacher. All make-ups must be taken during the quarter for which you are registered; they may not be carried over to the next quarter. REFUND AND CREDIT POLICY Keeping in mind our liberal make-up policy, we understand that life circumstances sometimes get in the way, and yoga has to wait. If you decide you must ask for a credit or a refund, they are available for the number of classes remaining in the quarter, based on the date we receive your request (not the date you last attended). Therefore, please fill out a refund/credit request form as soon as you know you can no longer attend your classes. Refunds will incur the following administrative fees: $20 for classes or 10% the cost of a workshop. Refunds by check may take up to 3 weeks to process; refunds by credit card may take up to one week. Letters of Credit are valid for one year from the date issued, and incur no administrative fee. Letters of Credit apply to classes and workshops only, and cannot be redeemed for cash or merchandise. Workshop refunds or letters of credit are available up to the day before the event. No refunds or credits are given the day of or after the workshop.

FULL QUARTER REGISTRATION We recommend this option, as it will give you the best possible yoga education and experience. Regular practice and connection to your yoga community form the cornerstone of Sun & Moon’s unique yoga environment. Full quarter prices: $15/class for 75- and 90-minute classes $13/class for 45- and 60-minute classes PARTIAL REGISTRATION If you’re joining the quarter late, or you know you’ll be traveling and unable to attend several classes, you may register for a partial quarter, with a minimum of six classes. Partial registration prices: $16/class for 75- and 90-minute classes $14/class for 45- and 60-minute classes SINGLE CLASS/DROP-INS To accommodate students with unpredictable schedules, we allow anyone to drop-in anytime (on rare occasions, space will not be available in a fully registered class). Drop-in prices: $20/class for 75- and 90-minute classes $15/class for 45- and 60-minute classes

WHAT TO WEAR AND OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION Wear comfortable “work-out” clothes; nothing too baggy so teachers can see your alignment. We practice barefoot and keep our floors clean; leave your shoes in the cubbies before entering the yoga rooms. We have men’s and women’s changing areas. No heavy perfume/cologne or noisy jewelry. For your safety, leave valuables locked and hidden in your car. Cell phones must be silenced; for the benefit of all, we strongly discourage cell phones in the yoga room. Sun & Moon Yoga Studio, Ltd. reserves the right to dismiss (with or without a refund) any student who disrupts the harmony of the class or studio.

EXTRA DROP-INS FOR REGISTERED STUDENTS If you’re a registered student (full or partial) seeking an additional class, you may drop-in to any class at the partial registration price listed above. MULTIPLE CLASS DISCOUNTS – NEW BENEFIT!! Register for two full quarter classes and take $50 off your total; register for three full quarter classes and take off $108.

EMERGENCY CLOSINGS Classes cancelled due to inclement weather or other emergency will not be rescheduled, but may be made up in any other class during the quarter. During severe weather conditions or other emergencies, we will post all cancellations on the studio website and on the outgoing voicemail at 703.525.9642.

Be Inspired by the Masters This Fall A workshop with a master teacher is a gourmet meal of a class. We host the best master “chefs” of yoga from all over the country, and revel in the taste of their expertise. They offer different flavors, pairings of wisdom, asana, anatomy, and life experience in deeply meaningful and valuable ways. We treasure our relationships with these teachers, and are proud to share them with our community. See our website for more prices and more details.
