Delicious Delight at the YogaExpo

Diana Dalton • Mar 12, 2021

Gentle Yoga & Meditation

Planning my class for the YogaExpo is pretty darn exciting. Being a part of the the largest global yoga conference is inspiring! Wondering about all the beautiful souls from far and wide that will be there to connect. Thinking about how, despite the obstacles of the past year, we are not just connecting, but connecting globally. Together we are making the very best of this virtual situation.

My class is
Delicious Delight - gentle yoga & meditation. It is for everyone and anyone interested in the aliveness that's right here. Balance all the moving and doing of modern life and come to stillness. Come to a comfortable seat and experience with a kind and curious attention what's happening right here, now. Come home to loving presence.


With 80 classes of interesting, dynamic, new classes to choose from, I wanted my class to be a moment of peace, a quiet refuge to find ease and delight in present moment awareness. 


Nike is right, just do it! Each time we remember to pause and breathe, we deepen the pathway to home. So, sit comfortably, in a way that you are alert and relaxed. Fill the lungs with a smooth in breath. Out breath is letting go, releasing, relaxing outward.  Again, inhale filling the chest and lungs. Exhale gently, slowly... Deep breath in, let go with a long breath out ...


Notice the quality of presence here. Observe with relaxed and open awareness.


Sense the possibility of relaxing with whatever is happening.


Smile, creating space for the light that's already here.


See you at the YogaExpo (get tickets here use expo15 discount code)!! My class is Saturday 4:30 pm



with love,

Diana



Q: Why do you meditate?

A: So I see the flowers as I walk along the path.


Q: Best advice right now?

A: The more you take refuge in presence, the more you will relate with love, the more you will trust who you are is the loving presence.


Q: What is your favorite pose?

A: Picking one is so difficult (it's my Aquarian nature, I love it all!!), but right now it would have to be Savasana  aka corpse pose <3


What's your favorite pose?

Yoga Expo Returns
By Diana Dalton 03 Feb, 2023
It took me many years to start practicing yoga consistently. I would take a class and then be so sore that I wouldn't return, sometimes for months! This went on for years until 2002, when my mom was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. I knew deep in my heart that I needed to change my lifestyle or I would be facing the same situation. Fear is an excellent motivator! I knew I couldn't make these big changes on my own. and I also knew Yoga was an entire blueprint for healthy living, even if I was pretty fuzzy (ignorant) on the details. I took a leap of faith and signed up for Teacher Training at Synergy Yoga in Miami Beach to deepen my practice and find out what all this yoga business was about. I graduated in June 2005 and began teaching immediately. 18 years later, I can say with confidence it was one of the smartest decisions I ever made. I am healthier, stronger and have more ease and freedom in my body and mind than I ever could have imagined. Yoga works, you just have to do it! The first ethic in yoga is ahimsa or nonviolence. Had I known this when I started practicing, I might have been more gentle with myself, not pushed so hard, and been so sore that I did not return for months... I say might, because that person was pretty rigid- in body and mind- so maybe I wouldn't have gotten the message! While we might come to yoga for any number of physical reasons, trust that the practice infuses all aspects of your being and life. It really is a gift, a gift I treasure so much I've made it my life's work to share it with you. May you learn from my mistakes without having to repeat them. I invite you to start on your own yoga journey. Join me for Yoga 101 Miami, let's be healthy together!
