I am a local yoga teacher and I am daily enjoying the Redwoods of the Oakland Hills. I find that the best way to feel my kinship with the Earth is to practice yoga outside. The ALIVENESS that I feel during and after my practice is exponentially greater than when I practice indoors. I am finding that being outdoors is the BEST STRESS BUSTER. If you want to feel alive and deepen your realized connection with the Redwoods you will feel the Redwoods say THANK YOU for your exhale by giving you …

With that in mind, the Center of Light will begin offering a new series of lectures called the Light Lecture Series. These classes are de …
