“Ramadān Mubarak, Blessed Ramadān!” to anyone who was observing the holy month of Ramadān. Many blessings to all, and especially to those celebrating Chaitra Navaratri or observing Lent or Great Lent!
“You had an opportunity to lead in an enlightened way and it seems to me that your organization has failed.”

Please join me for a 90-minute virtual yoga practice on Zoom today (Saturday, April 9th) at 12:00 PM. Use the link from the “Class Schedules” calendar if you run into any problems checking into the class. You can request an audio recording of this practice via a comment below or by emailing myra (at) ajoyfulpractice.com.
Saturday’s playlist is available on YouTube and Spotify.
(NOTE: I completely remixed this playlist, because while I own a copy of the Marian Anderson’s Lincoln Memorial concert with the speeches, it is not available on YouTube. It is available on Spotify; search for “Marian Anderson Let Freedom Ring.”)
Here’s a little excerpt from my 2019 post on this date: “Sometimes triumph comes because someone surrenders; sometimes it comes because someone persisted. If you go back in history you will find examples of both happening on any given day – including this day.” Click here for to read the rest of the post and to practice the featured pose.
In the spirit of generosity (“dana”), the Zoom classes, recordings, and blog posts are freely given and freely received. If you are able to support these teachings, please do so as your heart moves you. (NOTE: You can donate even if you are “attending” a practice that is not designated as a “Common Ground Meditation Center” practice, or you can purchase class(es). Donations are tax deductible; class purchases are not necessarily deductible.)
