<strong><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Monday
night youth yoga, held at Open Spirit, 39 Edwards Street,
Framingham, MA has been going strong now for two years. I really
enjoy the class because with this group anything goes. We are all
really happy to be together on Mondays, whether it is sunny or cold
and damp...we all just want to be there.</span></span></span></span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">For
the past two months, coloring has been a really big thing for us.
There is just something so relaxing and focusing about coloring, and
friendship building, that we have found a nice rhythm coming to our
mats, practicing our yoga with poses, breath and meditation, and then
hunker down for some group coloring time. It started with pictures of
bare trees and we wrote affirmations in the roots and branches, to
fill our trees up with positive statements and observations. That
moved onto </span></span></span></span></strong><strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">focus
wheels, with the center circle stating "I AM" and then the
external circles embracing our qualities of goodness,
trustworthiness, warmth etc. I then came across a nice coloring book
of Mandalas and off we went, coloring mandalas. Relaxing in their
overall affect.</span></span></span></span></strong><br />

past Monday, I came in with a picture I had created that integrated
the Chakras, the Prana Vayus, and the Koshas. We started class with
an exercise that was inspired by Edna Reinhardt of Yoga Education
Resource's marble adventure (I had meant to bring my marbles but
forgot them, but luckily I had all my colored markers with me). We
started by all taking Baddha Konasana (butterfly pose), I dropped all
the markers in the center of our mandala shape and we went to it,
sorting the markers and adding them to open spaces that our feet had
created. Releasing this pose, we then divvied up the markers in color
families: green/grey/black, blue/purple, pink/brown and
yellow/orange/red. We each created shapes with our markers, whatever
inspired us. This led us to seeing that we each possessed certain
colors that lead to a creation of an earth, grass, flower, sun &
sky picture. Which then naturally led to the creation of a waterfall,
complete with all our socks, which somehow were all greeny/bluey
colored, as a water fall at the end of our rainbow. </span></span></span></span></strong>

<strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This
was such a nice focusing activity to start class. We then talked
about different uses for breath and practiced using Ujjayi breath and
also to feel the relaxation of our throats (I had them imagine they
were yawning with their mouths closed to give them the effect of an
open throat). I was able to then jump right into a series of poses,
while at the same time taking about the Chakras and feeling our
colors, with a special focus on the throat chakra-which is blue-and
again noting that we were all dressed in variations of blue, so it
seemed so appropriate to focus on this. In each pose I reminded them
to pay attention to their throats, to allow the flow of energy there
and to release the tension so as not to be constricted. </span></span></span></span></strong>

<strong><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>What
is a Mandala? </i></span></span></span></strong>
<br />
<i><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The
meaning of mandala comes from Sanskrit meaning "circle."
Mandalas are geometric designs symbolic of the universe that are used
as an aid to meditation.</span></span></span></i><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">How
to use a Mandala?</span></i></span></span></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>1.</i></span></span></span><strong><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Set
your intention for your practice/life </span></i></span></span></span></strong><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(An
intention is a promise you make to yourself and a way of putting
logic and beliefs into action. One way to set your intention is to
focus on something you are grateful for. You can also set it based on
a quality you want: spontaneity, flexibility, peace of mind,
inspiration, concentration...) </i></span></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="color: #333333;">The
design of the mandala is meant to attract the viewer visually, so
much so that the mind becomes absorbed by it. The design’s hypnotic
effect relaxes the mind. With a relaxed mind, the individual is able
to focus his attention inwards rather than focusing on life’s usual
distractions. In this state, imagination flows which in turn
increases creativity, sympathy, and self respect. </span></i></span></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>2.</i></span></span></span><strong><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Focus
on the mandala. </span></i></span></span></span></strong><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Let
your eyes take in the radiance of its designs. Release your mind.
Recognize when your mind wanders back to your list of choirs or your
concerns and simply bring your attention back to the beauty of the
mandala. Let the mandala absorb your attention. In time, you will
begin to feel luminous and fresh and spontaneous thoughts may arise.
Relax and allow these thoughts in. If at any time you begin to feel
lost, uncomfortable or distracted, re-focus your attention back on
the mandala. Everyone’s experience will be different but meditating
with the mandala can be relaxing and you can come away with a clarity
concerning the intention that you set at the beginning of your
practice.</i></span></span></span><br />

Synopsis: </b><i><u>Writing
the Dance</u></i><i>
provides dancers and dance students of all abilities with an
opportunity to immerse, think broadly, and connect deeply to the
inner life of the dancer. Within this book you'll find a wide variety
of reflective activities that can optimize a dancer's performance,
including prompts and analysis pages for classes, rehearsals, and
performances. This workbook-journal allows dancers to come to know
their work in the studio and on stage in a more intimate and detailed
way.</i><i> </i></span></span></span>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><b>Quick
sum up:</b> This book is a
dancer's journal into self exploration. It provides a platform for
dancers to learn and improve by using their own self reflection.
Journals help you to focus, think, explore, address issues and to
really see yourself, in your own words. A virtual mirror, not a
physical reflection of yourself-seeing yourself from the outside
looking inwards, instead a journal allows a view from the inside out.
<i><u>Writing The Dance</u></i>
provokes, clarifies, coaxes, prioritizes and harmonizes your thoughts
on your dance. There is no wrong way to express <i><u>Writing
The Dance</u></i>
and it is for your eyes only. </span></span>

I like it + disclaimer:</b></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">
I really enjoyed </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u>Writing
The Dance</u></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">.
The journal prompts, the dance reflections, performance feedback and
dance study sections all opened the way for meditation and are
effective exercises for introspection. I found the book to be a very
useful tool for my own journey as a flamenco dancer, choreographer
and teacher. I believe that </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u>Writing
The Dance</u></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>
</i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">is
a valuable addition to all dancer's book shelves (or should I say
bedside tables!). </span></span></span>

the fiery art of Flamenco, a creation of the Roma (or Gypsies) who
fused dance from Spaniards, music from the Moors and song from
Sephardic Jews. Through movement, music and words, Eve Costarelli
traces the origins of this emotive form from India to Andalusia. In
addition to Flamenco’s rich history, students will learn about
compás (rhythm) tacaneo (footwork) and the communication between
dancer and guitarist. They’ll join in the performance using palmas
(clapping rhythms) and jaleo (calls) and volunteers will be called
upon to learn a few moves!</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Review by Eve
Costarelli</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This is my first
official book review! My dear friend, Thelma Goldberg, sent me a copy
of her newly self-published book <u>Thelma's Tap Notes. A
Step-by-Step Guide to Teaching Tap: Children's Edition</u>.
This is a beautifully laid out manual and I love the catchy and
useful sticky note style highlights throughout the book (I also
received an accompanying sticky “Tap Notes” pad-which made it
very easy for me to jot down my own notes as I went along the book.)
Right from the very beginning, Thelma lays out exactly what her
approach is to teaching tap to children ages 6-12 and she
methodically breaks down her methods level-by-level. </span></span>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I
appreciate how Thelma refers to herself as a student as well as a
teacher. I have had the pleasure of taking classes with Thelma, so I
know first hand what a dedicated and enthusiastic student she is. I
also have seen a number of her studios productions over the years and
can equally say she is a committed, passionate teacher, choreographer
and leader. Because of this, I can say that Thelma is deeply rooted
and she never stops growing!</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Thelma's
Tap Notes is guided by four principles: Release, Relax, Rhythmic
Progressions and Full Bodied Rhythm-Making (TM). In the first part of
the book, Levels, each age group: 6 & 7, 7 & 8, 8 & 9,
9-11, 10-12 is broken down into goals, review, musical rhythms, class
outline, next step, combos, choreography ideas and improvisation
activities. The second part of the book, Series, brings in more tap
series needed for the growing dancer: Rudiment Series (courtesy of
the Condos Brothers)-basically the ABC's of tap dance; Double Heel
Series-to execute clear and specific single sound movements; Shuffle
Series-to get loose and increase crispness of sound; Slap and Flap
Series-do I hear a challenge??; Paddle and Roll Series-a very
advanced series needed for really good technique; Spank Series-to
embody the principle of release; and Time Step Series-a series that
spans classical steps through present day creations. Thelma gets into
the nitty-gritty needed to develop dancers feet, musicality and
expression.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The
closing of the manual brings in various tap dancers biographies,
tying the deep seated tradition of jazz tap to its modernity. Thelma
has created not only a clear, accessible teacher's guide but a great
reference manual for avid students and seasoned teachers. To note, I
too am a children's dance teacher (flamenco, tap and yoga), and I
found that this guide will be a great addition to my practices of
teaching-especially in helping me to lay down my own step-by-step
approach. Bravo Thelma! Encore!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thanksgiving is surely a time to be thankful for all the good graces that are in our lives, but truth be told it can also be a stressful time. All ages, kids to adult, have to combat overeating, stress, sadness, lack of exercise and imbalance.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I like to make sure my students have a few good things in their tool box of way to cope with these feelings.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Remember if things do get stressful:</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. Breath: inhale though your nose and out through your nose. Try to elongate the exhale to calm you.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. Do a simple inversion: forward bends, which can be done leaning forward onto a chair if the floor is just too far away. Yoga poses like forward bend and downward facing dog raise your blood pressure enough to trigger the body's natural calming mechanisms (do not do inversions if you have high blood pressure-the best thing here to do would be to sit and rest your head on a table).</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: #222222;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6SzlXhxpwCpbbLI0p5HmqQDX-yKl3VlxZ_-Teglt-Xjb38lzuCqJTOGCtFgX-Z8HjNbFYvu4p2efPxhy6PzGKkj1G-GNBo8BkcqEEZeYaheW605E2XNM0mmgOdje75wG_Oj_BMfmiXk4/s1600/IMG_20131124_11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6SzlXhxpwCpbbLI0p5HmqQDX-yKl3VlxZ_-Teglt-Xjb38lzuCqJTOGCtFgX-Z8HjNbFYvu4p2efPxhy6PzGKkj1G-GNBo8BkcqEEZeYaheW605E2XNM0mmgOdje75wG_Oj_BMfmiXk4/s320/IMG_20131124_11.jpg" width="239"></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. Do heart opening poses to combat depression: cobra, bridge, bow, wheel, locust, fish, camel. Simply you can sit on a chair, place your hands by your sides, lift up your chest and feel you back arching up.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4. You can tame feelings of fear and instability by doing twists, hip openers and side bends. These will help balance your emotions: butterfly, child's pose, 1/2 lord of the fishes, simple lying twist and dimple seated twist (on the floor or in a chair).</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5. DANCE FLAMENCO! Above all let your hearts be free, it will help you digest your food and you will feel great!</span></div>

<b>Recently</b>, my yoga classes have been based on the idea of subliminal messaging that is found in ads, movies etc. By adding affirmations subliminally to each pose/pranyama/meditation (in the descriptions), these subliminal messages will in turn affect the "yogi" to feel a certain way...these are the affirmations I am basing my affirmations on : happy, lucky, grateful and peaceful (these branch out to trusting, trustworthy, rooted, grounded, brave etc...love my thesaurus).</div>

For art work, we have been making pictures of trees and in the branches and along the roots we have been writing our own affirmations. Also, focus wheels, with the center circle stating "I AM" and then the external circles embracing our qualities of goodness, trustworthiness, bravado etc...</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Day One of PiBoIdMo (Picture Book Idea Month) 2013 runs concurrently with NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). I am working on bending my loves of teaching children, flamenco, yoga and writing kids to young adults books. Mostly they are non fictional but this month I will be working my kid lit angle and trying my hand at picture book writing. I have a voice recorder with about 10 ideas already...still 20 more to go!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My first idea runs along the idea of a non fictional trip to Spain and the ensuing flamenco fun that arises. The family (in the stage version, my lucky husband and son will be participants) travels to Spain, learns about the history of flamenco and then joins in the fun during Feria week in Seville. That's all I am telling you right now. If you want to see the first run of this travel adventure/story book as it comes alive, please join me, Eve Costarelli and my wonderful youth flamenco dancers (and some fun loving adults):</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Constantia, serif; font-size: 11pt;">Yoga
for kids can be geared to teach them the meaning of yoga but with
lightness, lots of levity and tons of exploration. Recently, I have
been thinking of how to teach the koshas to kids. I have found that
studying and teaching Esoteric Anatomy informs my practice and
teaching in a beneficial way. The study of the subtle body’s</span><span style="font-family: Constantia, serif; font-size: 11pt;">
energies and structures supports my true nature. Focusing on the
energy inside your body is a great way to notice tensions,
relaxation, and a great way to focus inside rather than just
externally. I love feeling that the inside of me is just as powerful
means for change as the outside.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Constantia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> In
yoga, you can describe the functions of the perceptible (corporal)
body and you can also describe the functions of the subtle (implied)
body. The subtle anatomy of the humans is divided into five energetic
sheaths known as ‘pancha kosha’. Pancha, meaning five and kosha,
meaning layer or sheath. To explain these layers, I got out my Winnie
The Pooh nesting doll-which by luck has exactly 5 layers. The
outermost layer is Pooh, then Tigger, Eeyore, Owl and finally Piglet.</span></span></span><br />

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="widows: 8;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Constantia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We
started class lying in constructive rest, hands on belly, just
noticing breath. I gave an intention for the practice which was that
we were going to give our yoga practice our wholehearted
attention-training the mind to regain its ability to be undistracted.
This will help them to remain aware and conscious throughout the
practice. I also began to explain how to do Ujjayi breath or Victory
breath. With breaths in and out through the nostrils, I first had
them imagine that the breath was coming from the soft spot directly
in the middle of their collar bones, at the base of their throat. I
explained the sound was audible only to themselves but it should have
a soft oceanic pulse. Imagine they are really Darth Vader but they do
not want anyone to know so making Darth Vader breath “silently”.
From constructive rest, we moved on to an easy twist, something I
learned in Svaroopa yoga, which I like a lot. Standing, breathing up
and down from Up Mountain to Bent Over Forward Bend using the inhale
to lift us and the exhale as we descended. This establishes a
coordination of breath and movement. High lunge on both sides ending
with Downward Facing Dog. Of course we had to try 3 legged dog with
some leg wags and barks! As we began to use our breath more, I
encouraged them to try their Ujjayi breathing. I also reminded them
of our class intention, just a few subtle reminders and they kept on
track. We then did Triangle, Tree and then Half -Moon, even going for
a foot hold, which some people call Sugar Cane Pose...I just call it
“Wheeeeee”! Sitting back down, Bound Angle Pose, to Revolved
Head-to- Knee Pose, with Karate Chop action...taking the opposite
arm, lifting it high by your ear and then bending over and karate
chopping towards the pinky toe side of the extended leg to a
simplified version of Marichyasana III. Of course, I threw in a
number of Child's Poses throughout.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Constantia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">What
came next was unplanned, but grew into the perfect activity to tie in
the koshas. We lay the yoga blocks out in a pattern, like stepping
stones. As each person began their trail, they would take the first
block with them and then add it to the end of the trail, reshaping
the shape. To make this an exercise in concentration, I first had
them say “So” “Hum” as they walked, one syllable for each
step. We then internalized this and it became a silent walking
meditation. They had to pay attention to their feet or they wold fall
off the blocks. The shape moved around and ended up heading into the
kitchen, where after each block placement, they would walk around the
kitchen island and back to the head of the trail. The shape slithered
through the kitchen, back out again and across the floor, to the
supply closet, where the carefully placed each block back in place
and then quietly went back to their mats for Final Relaxation. This
unplanned activity lasted a good 15 minutes. They all worked
together, silently, and the joy and happiness radiated from within.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">T<span style="font-size: 11pt;">his
summer, for my 12 consecutive year, I joined th</span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">e
staff at <a href="http://www.northeastyouthballet.org/" target="_blank">Northeast Youth Ballet </a>for six weeks of flamenco and yoga
classes. To say that teaching at this school is an absolute pleasure
would be an understatement. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This
is an amazing dance school. The dedication of the owners and the
teachers to the students is unparalleled. You can tell this from the
moment you walk in the door. The total vibe of the place is one of
harmony, cooperation, focus and positivity. I am so fortunate to be
part of it all!</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
</span></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
last four weeks have been dedicated to the intermediate and advanced
students. Having them both for flamenco and yoga has really upped my
game. I can work theories of physical and energetic movement
throughout flamenco class, using the pulsations of the specific
rhythm they are working on and then bring those same energetic
movements back in during yoga class. I am so satisfied being able to
combine these two art forms. This is where my heart lies. </span></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 11pt;">At
the beginning of each class, I would lead a flamenco centering
exercise to get them in the mindset for flamenco. I needed them to
connect to the songs they would be dancing too and to soak their
minds and bodies with the rhythms. Most of the time, we started lying
on the floor. After an initial breathing exercise, we would listen to
the song to ingest it. I would talk about the essence of the song,
how it's particular rhythm would motivate the movement and allow your
soul to show through while you danced it. I would talk about
grounding, being able to hold the song in the heart, almost being
able to grasp it with their hands.</span></span><br />

intermediate students and I worked</span><span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">on the fourth <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sevillanas" target="_blank">Sevillanas</a>. Now it is
true, that you would normally learn them in order -1, 2, 3, 4- but I
chose just to work number four with this group. It is full of -step,
ball change- which I knew would be a motor skill they already
possessed and by working on only one Sevillanas, we would have time to
do it in partners and in a circle formation. For the demonstration,
they are dancing it four times. Firstly they will do it facing the
audience; second, they find their partners; third, still in same
partnerships; and the fourth time, they move into two circles, one
inside the other, and then those two circles partner each other. It
reminds me of Bugsby Berkeley’s choreography from the 1920's
(stylistically, my favorite era).</span> </span></span>
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
advanced students took on a Tangos de Triana ( I was so motivated by
my workshop with La Lupi to explore the rhythm and movement of this
song style. It is really snarky (from the Urban Dictionary “</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">A
witty mannerism, personality, or behavior that is a combination of
sarcasm and cynicism. Usually accepted as a complimentary term”)
</span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and
full of bravada and fun. The attitude just jumps right out of my
heart. I tell them it feels like hip hop danced on the street-an
expression of the creators, the gypsies in Andalucia, fighting
persecution, like the blues. We worked tirelessly on giving the dance
the right attitude and grounded-ness</span><span style="font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;">. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 11pt;">I
cannot wait for tomorrow's performance to see these students dance.
To see them perform my flamenco but also to see them dance ballet,
character, modern and musical theater. I adore seeing them in all
these different elements and how each of their souls comes out. It
just is so revitalizing!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 11pt;">Teaching
yoga after a full day of flamenco is idyllic. My dream job. I love to
use energetic movement, from inside the body, the subtle body’s
movement, to heighten the yoga experience. This is a perfect age
group for this as it allows them to drop down and totally relax, take
notice of their breath and how their bodies are feeling, and then
begin movement from a place of presence. I find a good combination of
activities in a youth yoga class, keeps the kids present and fully
engaged. Some of the things I like to include are meditation,
breath-work, poses, games and open discussions about principles such
as Ahimsa (a principle of yoga that means to do not harm), karma ,
practicing yoga off the mat.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 11pt;">Karma
class. Karma is defined as an action or a deed; a result of an
action; destiny or fate, following as effect from cause. Synonyms are
fortune, fate, destiny. Karma yoga is the yoga of selfless service
(altruism= one acts without being attached to the fruits of one's
deeds).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 11pt;">Kinder
people live longer lives; people who volunteer experience fewer aches
and pains. We feel good when we give because we experience the
“giver's lift”, a distinct physical sensation from helping.
Kindness makes us happy. It reduces depression, lowers anxiety and
builds our self esteem.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">How
to you practice Karma? One way is with Random Acts of Kindness (RAK).
It is stated that one RAK a day keeps self-centeredness away! As
Aesop said “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever
wasted.” </span></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 11pt;">I
read to the class-I love reading stories out loud to kids of all
ages-<a href="http://touchstonez.com/2011/11/01/the-three-questions-book-review/" target="_blank">The Three Questions</a> (Based on a story by Leo Tolstoy) written
and illustrated by Jon J. Muth. It is a wonderful story about Nikolai
who wants to “be a good person” and so proposes three questions
to his friends: When is the best time to do things? Who is the most
important one? What is the right thing to do? They never answer him
directly, but by the end of the story, Nikolai has answered the
questions for himself. I had them contemplate kindness and the ways
they are already kind and the ways they might like to add more
kindness into their lives. I gave each of them two pieces of paper
and a crayon and they wrote two examples of how they are and how they
want to be kind. The recurring themes were of helping out family
members, giving attention to those around them, and being positive,
friendly, loving people. We left our slips of paper in a vase soother
people could read our notes and feel connected.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We
then stood and did some fun flows to different songs on my play list:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpT1YdEXAgc" target="_blank">Jamaica Resting </a>by The Pool; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svpLLvctiY0" target="_blank">Give Me The Sunshine </a>by Leo's Sunshipp;
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN0dsZOBQec" target="_blank">The Sun Can't Compare</a> by Larry Heard presenting Mr. White. </span></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 11pt;">Taking
a cue from one of my mentors,<a href="http://childrensyoga.com/about/shakta/" target="_blank"> Shakta Khalsa</a>, I taught them the
“Detective” game (from the Radiant Child Yoga's teacher's
manual). Dividing the the girls into smaller groups, I had them sit
in circles. One person, the “detective”, would leave the room.
The group them decides who will be the secret leader. The leader
makes different motions such as leg taps, hand claps, eye blinks,
small quiet movements or loud fast movements and everyone else
follows as immediately as possible, trying to accomplish this
seamlessly as to not give away the “it” person. The detective
then returns to the scene and tries to determine who is it. This game
develops powers of observation and the ability to be subtle, focused
and alert. The game was a huge success and the smaller groups
allowed for each girl to take a turn.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">I
wandered around the room listening into their giggles and relaxed
chatter. </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We
gathered into one large circle, held hands, breathed in and then lay
back (usually we play the hand squeeze game here, but today I just
had them relax).</span></span></span><br />

A Personal History of the Record Players by Andrea Mason Nolin</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
Hello, I’m Andrea M. Nolin, and I would like to give you a little background on how The Record Players came into being in 2001.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Judy Record lived three doors down from me in Belmont, MA. She always greeted me with her engaging smile and would relate the latest news of the McLean Open Space Alliance, the organization that she founded to promote the protection of open space in the town. I wasn't alone in feeling enormous grief when a bicycle accident caused her untimely death in 2000. Since her Memorial Service was held at Trinity Church in Boston, I felt that Belmont needed to pay tribute to her in her home town. I gathered some musician friends, and friends of friends, as others were busy setting up a memorial fund in her name. Thus, the first concert was the founding event of the Judith K. Record Memorial Conservation Fund. On a snowy afternoon, over 200 people attended Concert I and over $10,000 was raised! With such an enthusiastic and generous response, our ensemble continues to perform every year. The Concert has now become the Fund’s Annual Appeal event.</span></span></div>
