    CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference), Reagan, Twitter, History, and Mediation,

    CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference), Reagan, Twitter, History, and Mediation – oh yeah, Dora is getting frustrated, so I do what I can and then let go… This old picture of Albert reminded me that sometimes life is frustrating, but we do the best we can, it shall pass…. I made my morning coffee and opened the morning news. Wall Street Journal had a long and very level headed criticism on the CPAC. As I took shorter and shorter breaths while reading, I stumbled ont

    Gratitude Through Car Accidents – Happy Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving, from Jenna’s family to yours! Dear Students, My dear friend Jenna wrote this year’s Thanksgiving Blog. She is among many things a Spira yogi, Spira’s social media guru and a graduate of Spira’s Teacher Training and your future teacher when she is ready for the task. Jenna not only supports me with Social Media, but she is my sounding board when I need advice. Every small business owner needs someone who is willing to challenge and discuss ideas to grow. Je

    You Are Lucky! Happy 4th of July

    Listen now As a naturalized citizen to the United States, 4th of July carries a special meaning to me. I am not blinded by romantic patriotism that can be seen in commercials, but I am also not jaded by our troubles. I say this all the time, and I will say now; the United States is an imperfect country, but it is still the best among all the imperfect countries out there… I usually don’t use the word “imperfect” when I make this comment, please do make your unique substituti

    A Call For Peace, Celebrating Diversity

    When I set out to open a neighborhood yoga studio, I had a vision of creating a community where folks came not only to work out and get fit, but they came to re-charge their spirit, meet with existing friends and find new friends. I am happy to say my vision came true. Spira is a bustling, pulsing community. Though at Spira Power Yoga we teach a physically challenging workout, I believe yoga is not about flexibility and fitness; these are simply the side effects of the practi

    Restorative Yoga as an Antidote to Chronic Stress

    This blog is written by Carina Terra 500HR EYRT, teacher at Spira Power Yoga. ————————————————- When humans and other animals are faced with an imminent threat, an involuntary response increases our blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, blood flow to the muscles, and metabolism — preparing us for conflict or escape. This reaction, triggered by the Sympathetic Nervous System, is called the Fight-or-Flight Response. For our hunter-gatherer ancestors, the successful use of

    What is Restorative Yoga and Why Practice it?

    This blog was written by Carina Terra – yoga teacher at Spira Power Yoga ——————————————————————————– The general trend in modern-day yoga is toward more athletic styles. These dynamic styles are a very powerful antidote against the harmful effects of living a sedentary life. Personally, I can’t imagine my life without Vinyasa. Both my body and my mind get cranky really fast if I slack off and neglect my regular practice. However, as much as I love and need my Vinyasa, I also

    Social Media, Images and Yoga – is it a tool or is it harmful?

    Notice how black and white images make you feel when they do not focus Listenon sexual body parts. Listen now What is in an image? Can beauty be harmful? When is an image information, art or communication? When does an image fill us with beauty, and when does it demand expectations or communicate standards. What are the roles of images in our modern culture of yoga? To answer that question one must first look at history to understand our current nature. I will start my essay
