Honor Women Every Day, Everywhere

Screenshot 2023 03 15 at 8.04.57 AM: Honor Women Every Day, Everywhere

There is a force field that wraps around Earth, and is the foundation of all creation and life. Today, and for thousands of years, the energy of women has created and sustained life throughout every country and continent. 

From India, to Africa, the Middle East, Asia, the South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, Eastern and Western Europe, Russia, China, the Artic circle, North America, all the Islands, Central and South America. 

This has been expressed as mothers, care providers, educators, farmers, community leaders, doctors, activists, scientists, economists, lawmakers, artists, healers, builders, engineers, spiritual leaders, sisterhood, friendship, and so much more.

Honor Women Every day, and Everywhere.

A great Honour

Thanks again to our community in Roberts Creek, the Sunshine Coast and beyond for voting us the Favourite Yoga Studio for the second year in a row. It is a great honour to be recognized as a shining light in our corner of this planet.

We at Yoga by the Sea, have been blessed with 16 +  years in this growing community and are in the company of many brilliant, dedicated Yoga and Pilates mentors and guides who have been consistently present over the last two decades right alongside us.

Kalijo, Om Sweet Om, Coast Flow and several individual teachers, who teach out of community centers, senior centers, schools, hospitals, gyms, via zoom, private home studios, and halls.

It’s an honor to support our community as a beacon. We are all equally shining the light of health and wellness through connection to the Body, and the vital life-force that animates us, and effects every experience of Life.

Special thanks to the Coast Reporter for organizing the event.

When one is acknowledged, we are all acknowledged.

With Love always, 

Hasu and all your friends at Yoga by the Sea.

Peace comes from Within and only happens Now

Supporting Your Studio

Good Afternoon Dear Friends,

As you know, like many businesses in our community, Yoga by the Sea has been on pause since March 16th. Since then, our team of dedicated Yogis have been selflessly offering complimentary live stream yoga classes online through FaceBook and YouTube, based on our regular drop-in class schedule. We hope this has been a helpful assistance for you, anchoring your home practice, and offering tools, techniques and teachings to be a steady presence during these unprecedented times.

The studio will apply for all relevant government assistance, however, we currently have operational costs and requirements to manage the studios. We are reaching out to you as a valued current or past participant in our sweet and vast Yoga by the Sea community for help. We are asking for a modest $10, $15 or whatever you are comfortable with, as a donation to help us with the these operational costs over the coming weeks and months.

We are so grateful for your donation! Please send an e-transfer to marney@yogabythesea.ca, or through PayPal by searching Marney A. Coulter or paypal.me/yogabythesea345

We look forward to continuing to connect with you virtually, to find other ways to support you and your practice in the coming months, and to one day see your beautiful selves again in-person at the studio. We miss you!

With deepest Appreciation for your continual support and dedication and in Loving Service,

Jai Bhagwan,
Hasu & the entire Yoga By the Sea Family 

Lead me from the unreal to the real
Lead me from darkness to light
Lead me from time-bound consciousness to timeless state of being

Holding in the Pause

How are you?

We are writing to you simply as a touchstone and because we now know that this paradigm shift will continue beyond next weekend. We anticipate Yoga by the Sea will continue to be on Pause until mid April, at the earliest; at least another 3 weeks. If this changes, of course we will be back to business as usual as soon as possible, and will communicate with you ASAP.

We are offering complimentary online classes through FB streamed live as they happen by our devoted team of Yogis, focused on the regular drop in class schedule. Please join us! It’s easy, and the videos stay up so you can access them anytime. We do hope to have some of these classes loaded for you on our YouTube Channel; in the meantime enjoy listening to Yoga Nidra and other musings offered there.

Please keep in touch with us by receiving our regular newsletter.

If you have any questions, please let me know by emailing marney@yogabythesea.ca.

Love to you all! Be healthy, be positive, be compassionate and be kind to each other. Remember to focus on what you want to expand. Don’t forget to laugh and see the pockets of joy and inspiration in these days of introversion.

We are so grateful for all of you and our community!

Jai Bhagwan,
Hasu & the entire Yoga By the Sea Family 

The nature of the human spirit is resilience
The spirit is what In-spires us
Through the breath
Known as the life force energy
That is the bridge between life and death
And the Universal Presence
That intelligently regulates every process of the universe
Through the cycles of involution and evolution
Through this universal intelligence
We are connected to everything the exists
This omni-present Presence is known as The Holy Spirit, Divine Shakti, Kundalini and Chi
We can connect to it where ever we are
At any moment
Because we are it.

Jai Bhagwan!

Life is full of experiences that come and go. What is the one constant that carries through the entirety of our life and beyond.

LOVE.

It is the thread that ties all experiences together; it can fill a space without words. This is the LOVE that is not based on conditions. This LOVE, reminds us we are LOVE, it anchors us in the dark night of the soul and celebrates with moments of joy and compassion.

This LOVE is beyond the mind, beyond this Life of existence. It is timeless, unchanging and universal. In it we know our SELF to be Eternal, Infinite and Whole.

Jai means “to Celebrate”.
Bhagwan is that LOVE.

Endless Blessings and LOVE to you,
Hasu

Yoga Nidra By The Sea

I’ve heard from many of you about how you feel after Yoga Nidra: peaceful, balanced, connected, at ease, clear, steady, and rejuvenated. You see positive changes in your skin, weight and even sleep patterns. How does this happen?

Yoga Nidra is about being guided into a deep state of relaxation and mediation that allows the body to naturally restore itself without doing anything other than resting in a completely supportive position. The practice uses the power of intention, along with specific breathing and focusing techniques that allow you to go beyond the barriers of the five senses, initiating shifts from the deepest core of your being. This state of meditation provides you with powerful tools to eliminate stress and banish self-destructive unconscious fears, beliefs and habits.

Incredibly, it has also been shown to support and boost the immune system and reduce inflammation, which addresses the underlying root of a wide range of health issues, including premature aging, degenerative diseases, insomnia, indigestion, high blood pressure, heartburn, addictions to alcohol, drugs/tobacco, anxiety, depression, and Attention Deficit Disorder.

We offer you many ways to access and enjoy the benefits of this practice:

Yoga Nidra relaxes, rejuvenates and renews the physical body. It also empowers you to eliminate unconscious obstructions and energetic blocks that prevent you from living your life to the fullest. It is the single most powerful tool that can help you reshape your life, rebuild your health, and renew your life!

With Love,
Hasu & all of us at Yoga By The Sea

Who Is Present?

It doesn’t matter who is sitting on the cushion in the front of the room.

In the beginning, we are drawn to a particular person we prefer, based on various attributes we like. Do we feel they are knowledgable about what they are leading? Is the class that they lead what we want, and does it fit into our schedule?

Then we find the perfect fit… which is actually all about the external other. That sounds like a relationship!

The truth is, what matters is that YOU show up. Nothing happens unless you commit to knowing your true self. All the practices here at Yoga by the Sea are an pointing to this self-realization, even though some may be initially drawn only to life mastery – that’s OK, that’s on the path!

Life isn’t “out there” somewhere, it’s in every breath that moves through you; it’s every heart beat, every sensation in the body. It is the attunement found through inward focus, and the connection to feeling and being.

So, It doesn’t matter who is in the front of the room, it simply matters that you are in the room. That you show up as YOU, fully present and knowingly aware.

Love,
Hasu

For the past several months these 12 dedicated, devoted Yogis who are inspired to explore and investigate their existence, the nature of consciousness and transform their beliefs and habits have allowed me to walk with them through this uncovering.

We have had a wonderful spiritual experience together, and look forward to many more moments. Such a honour to be a part of this continually growing community.
