“There comes a time in life when one has to choose to be bitter…or better. If ego chooses, it might be chewing at the bitter iron bars forever even though the door to the cage is wide open. Let the soul choose. The soul will ever choose to walk out, pouring love. And more love. And more. We’ve a choice about where… to live. If we forget, we can remember again.” Dr-Clarissa-Pinkola-Estes, author of Women Who Run with the Wolves

We are so grateful for the many friendships we’ve discovered at Flow.  Amazing people have created this community – creative, compassionate, loving, authentic, and truly beautiful people.  Flow Yoga Community is all about expanding consciousness in Love, friendship, and support ~ we’d love to include your friends.

In his book, Vital Friends: The People You Can’t Afford To Live Without, Tom Rath reports that if you ask people why they became homeless, why their marriage failed or why they overeat, they often say they didn’t have enough friends.  Rath and a team of researchers did a huge study of friendship that revealed the power of friendship:

• Share Health ~ If your best friend eats healthily, you are five times more likely to have a healthy diet yourself.
• Applaud ~ As Oscar Wilde wrote, “Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend’s success.”
• Take care of yourself ~ Self-criticism, complaining, health and money problems resulting from neglect, can all put a strain on your friends. Talk to your friends about how you can change the parts of your life that make you unhappy.
• Laugh ~ Save up humorous anecdotes to share.
• Listen ~ Ask your friends what’s going on in their lives.  
• Avoid advice ~ unless your friends ask for it.
• Don’t judge ~ Give your friends space to change, grow and make mistakes. Encourage your friends to freely express their emotions.
• Respect privacy ~ Keep confidential any personal information that your friends share with you and don’t ask questions that embarrass them.

*FREE class offer details:  The two of you must attend together for this offer to be valid and your friend needs to live in the Gorge.  Thanks for your understanding.
