  • Be Still….

    ByKathy Stephens

    Sabbath…. What does that mean to you? Does it indicate REST? DO you need some REST? My challenge to you today is to get STILL before the almighty. To STOP talking, STOP doing and just BE STILL… Spend some time listening to HIM. What might he have to whisper in your ear today? CROWD out the noise and be so STILL that the only thing you can really hear is your heartbeat.

    In yoga class there are opportunities to do just that. ITs WHERE we sit and focus on the stillness first in the room and then within ourselves. Your breath is the only sound there is.

    Ocean breath is a deep breath that comes from the belly and releases through an open mouth and mimics the sound of the ocean. WHEN we do this in class not only do I hear the “HA” sound loudly but I hear the release of tension and anxiety and the room becomes filled with HIM. IT truly sounds like a WAVE rushing in and out. A wave that Rescues….

    There is that moment between the release of ocean breath and the next breath, (it is seconds) thats like a fresh start, an opportunity to press in to HIM alittle harder, aittle closer, alittle deeper. #yogafaith


    BE STILL TODAY……

  • Led me straight to YOU….

    ByKathy Stephens

    Oh my heart is lifted and my soul rumbles every time I lead a #yogafaith class.

    You YOGI’s did my heart good last night.

    New poses, lots of laughter, burning core and alittle TROLL music made the night, “just what the doctor ordered”. AND of course we know who the real “doctor” is. Thank you for continuing to support Hunky Dory but more than that for wanting MORE for yourself.

    These are a few pics from My 2016 YOGA training. A magnificent place that led me to each of YOU.

    JOIN US Thursday if you want to start something NEW in your life that will make permanent changes.

    1 Corinthians 6:19- Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

  • GET STARTED AGAIN…

    ByKathy Stephens

    Each day is an opportunity to START AGAIN.

    Have you ever felt defeated, gotten sidetracked, lost momentum to where your headed. In this life we will be knocked down, wounded, get your feelings hurt and be disappointed. It is up to you to decide WHAT you will do when those things come.

    There have been many people who the world views as great that failed before they reached stardom.
    Here’s a few. Oprah Winfrey, Stephen King, Bill Gates, Henry Ford, Colonel Sanders, Thomas Edison, Steve Jobs, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Babe Ruth, Walt Disney and Madonna. I do realize that these are worldly stars but stars in the eyes of many still the same.

    You might think REALLY? Babe Ruth had many more strike outs than he did home runs. Steve jobs was actually fired from APPLE in the beginning. Walt Disney was told he lacked imagination and Madonna…. well she squirted jelly filled donuts all over her customers when she worked at Dunkin Donuts. ( I related to that one. haha)

    On my YOGA mat with GOD I find a place of solitude, refinement and uplifting. Yoga isn’t about a few poses, it’s so much more than that. It’s where you learn to stretch your faith, bend your body and lift your spirits. IT’s a place to refine the things in your life and to slow down long enough to rest in the LORD. A place to allow him to calm your spirit YET increase your strength both physically and spiritually.

    DO you want to start AGAIN. Hunky Dory #yogafaith will be in full swing again this coming week. Hopefully the cold winter weather will stay gone for awhile. COME GET STARTED AGAIN.

    Monday- COED class 6:30 pm- COUPLES WELCOME.
    Tuesday- 8 am Chair Class, 9:30 am Ladies class and 6 pm ladies class.
    Thursday- 8 am Chair Class, 9:30 am Ladies class and 6 pm Ladies class.
    I also work with individuals who might have physical restrictions or those who would like to know more about becoming healthy from the inside – out. ALSO… sometimes my job allows me to go out into the community and share. This week I get the opportunity to share with the sweet folks at our local nursing home. If you really want to count your blessings, come go with me.

    1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but ONE receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.

    Hope to see each of you this week. If your new to YOGA please come a few minutes early so that you can fill out a couple of things. It’s painless. ha

    GET STARTED…
