Grace Welch in the News!
Dear Yoga Students —
This newsletter comes to you during a “lock down” situation in New York due to the Coronavirus Pandemic.
We were directed to “shelter in place” to slow down the transmission of the virus and to stay away from others by at least six feet — fortunately, for those who practice Yoga and Meditation, this is easy and welcome.
We Yoginis have our personal space to which we willingly submit and remember the words of our teacher “Lie down in Savasana and focus on your breath”; and for twenty minutes (or longer if you are truly stressed), you enter into space that is uniquely yours. Meditation is usually done in a seated position (for those advanced students, Lotus position is the most comfortable); however, during stressful times and the need to accommodate to your surroundings, choose what is stress-free and comfortable.
I don’t know who said this: “This, too, shall pass”; but, to maintain your perspective, and to be able to function with a minimum of stress, it is important to remain calm and relatively stress-free, and as Yoginis we know how to do that!
I send you good wishes that we will weather this onslaught of pandemic challenge and that we will be able to resume our lives in safety and peace.
’Till next time
Om Shanti
Grace -- Durga

Woman, Art & Sakti
Inherent in each person is the power to create. That power, in Sanscrit,
is termed Sakti. Sakti is usually
understood to be divine inspiration, or sometimes referred to as one's
Muse. It gives me great pleasure to
introduce to you a woman whose art is informed by this universal power,
and manifests in her depictions of
nature's undulations.
Provy Munafo'
Born in Boxhill (Melbourne) Australia, Ms Munafo' lives and has a studio
in the commune of Villa Franca T.,
Messina, Sicily, Italy. She has a diploma in Applied Arts from the
Institute of Arts of Messina, and has a
degree from the Academy of Fine Arts of Reggio Calabria.
Ms. Munafo' is a teacher, and for many years is actively pursuing
an artist's career, distinguishing herself
in regional and national exhibits and competitions. She has had one-woman
shows and group exhibitions in
several Italian cities.
