Spring is Graduating into Summer!
And Nokomis Yoga is meeting a real need in the Nokomis neighborhood. Folks are constantly dropping by to find out about the offerings. It is exciting to be a part of something so valuable.
I teach a class at noon on Wednesdays. Call it a Hump Day Yoga Break. This class is great for releasing stress and centering. On Thursday nights at 7 pm I teach a well-rounded class with an emphasis on mindfulness and body-awareness. There is likely to be laughter at both classes and occasionally we'll incorporate elements from a variety of different traditions that support our yogic efforts.
Come check it out. Nokomis Yoga is located at 2722 East 50th Street (on the corner of 28th Ave. and 50th St., 3 doors down from Nokomis Beach Coffee Shop.). You can even see Lake Nokomis from the street in front of the shop! The website is www.nokomisyoga.com
.Of course, I'm still teaching on Mondays (7 pm, Holy Trinity Lutheran) and Saturdays (11:15 am, Lake Hiawatha Rec Center). Click here http://www.jinjerstanton.com/Yoga.htm for more information about all of my classes.

Meditation helps us cross the veil between the world we (think) we live in and the greater reality out of which that world is daily born. Yoga grounds us and helps us be more present for the beauty of our world.
I have been teaching yoga for over ten years after practicing and studying with a variety of teachers (learning important lessons from each) for over 20 years. In addition to my main diet of Hatha yoga I also practice Nada yoga (the yoga of sound) and have begun to integrate it into my hatha yoga classes. As an outgrowth of my yoga practice I founded Just One Percent (just before 9/11), which is devoted to the promotion of meditation in our daily lives as a way to bring about world peace. For more about Just One Percent go to Miracles of the Spirit/Just One Percent. I periodically teach classes on meditating and leading meditation. Check back either here or at Miracles of the Spirit/Just One Percent. for announcements about upcoming events.

Background
I began my yoga journey with a philosophy class in college. I began my spiritual journey at birth, but it got a major kick start when I decided that the Amazing Randy would have better luck proving astrology was garbage if he studied it and wrote about exactly how and where it was wrong. So I decided to do that thinking that the resulting article would make my career as a writer. Trouble is, I proved to myself that astrology was valid instead. That forced me to re-evaluate my entire world view.
So, I took hatha yoga classes and read book after metaphysical book. Which lead me to write metaphysical articles for Twin Cities-based Edge Life and Essential Wellness and become a ministerial guide at Lake Harriet Spiritual Community leading services and teaching classes. Currently, I am a board member and contributing minister at Miracles of the Spirit. Some of my articles have been translated into Italian and German.
I'm having a grand time teaching yoga and taking photographs. Feel free to use any of the natural images on this site as wall paper for your computer. They are all original photos. See this page for other photos I have taken that you may what to use.
