On the ferry to Friday Harbor

A big shout-out of LUUHHHHHV goes out to the beautiful yogis and yoginis that joined me for Phyzz 1: SVĀHĀ this past weekend.

If you hadn’t read here, this past weekend we stole away to beautiful Friday Harbor on San Juan Island in Washington. After walking the block and a half up the hill from the harbor, the 9 of us nestled into our rooms for the weekend at the beautiful Harrison House Suites, perched on a hill overlooking the harbor. If you are thinking of heading up to Friday Harbor and you wanted to spare both the earth and your wallet by not driving onto the ferry, really, Harrison House was the perfect place to stay due to its extremely walker-friendly distance from the harbor. It’s quite obvious that the Inn’s proprietors truly love what they do, and they also happen to own beautiful Coho Restaurant in town, where we enjoyed some amazing group dinners.

I had several favorite moments over the weekend — aside from watching an amazing group of people that included dear friends, strangers (otherwise known as new friends), and long-time students gel so beautifully. Here they are:

Beginning our meditation sits in the near-darkness by firelight, and opening eyes to the flood of sunrise

Banging out Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” on the piano and other music merry-making in our living room while topping off another fantastic dinner with homemade apple crisp and freshly-whipped cream

The moment our group literally practiced SVĀHĀ by releasing into fire pre-written notes to ourselves indicating what we wished to release/overcome/move past. The hearth that I had originally intended for this little ritual was under repair for the weekend, but we improved quite nicely with a candle and a saucepan as you can see below.

You can check out photos on Phyzz’s Facebook Page. More will be coming soon as peeps upload them.

SWA-HA! Mexico in March, here we come! Dates TBD, but if you already know you want to come, drop us a line.
