Cellar Door Yoga

Good morning Yogis! Cellar Door Yoga is taking a 1 month hiatus! August 5-September 2, 2021. If you would like to join the mailing list for virtual content and class updates, email [email protected]. Who knows, you may get a surprise or two along the way...

As I say all the time in my classes, in order to find your balance, you first have to lose it! How else do you connect to your center if you don't know where it is!? We struggle, many of us, each day searching for the approval or being affected by the judgements of others. It can lead to a life of suffering because it will never quite fit into the mold that is uniquely you! And to figure out who that is, we have to go down into the depths of thought and emotion to identify the patterns, feel the feelings, and let them go. That's what this week's class will focus on--that little voice of you that is trying to hard to be heard, by you! This Wednesday evening, 7pm EST, virtually on Zoom. Email [email protected] to secure your spot! Half of proceeds still go to the Rainforest Partnership

Words matter. How we communicate to our-self matters. How we address others matters. Our actions matter. Inspired action from a place of intention, matters. Practice matters. Ritual matters. Routine matters. Your discipline matters. Loving someone enough to challenge them matters. Challenging yourself matters. Getting out of your comfort zone matters, most. And not in order to introduce unpleasantness, but to see just how far we can push ourselves, how strong we are, how flexible, balanced, calm. Or anything but... Join me on -------------------->Zoom this Wednesday, June 16, 7 PM.

Happy New Moon Solar eclipse in Gemini! A someone with this sun sign, anything new or exciting is where I like to be! And now's the time! Take that risk! Call that person! Sign up for that class! We can't lose. What is it that you want? Pick one thing that would excite you, jumpstart your life and radiate it from your being. What we believe we can achieve! Keep checking back here for next Wednesday's class announcement and have a wonderful weekend!

Hello Everyone and Happy Monday! Cellar Door Yoga will have its first online ZOOM class on Wednesday, June 9th at 7 pm EST! I will send out reminders on this page as well as on my personal page. Please text me 516-633-5878 or leave me your email in text and I will invite you to the link an hour before class time. The first charity we will donate 50% of its proceeds to is The Rainforest Partnership, dedicated to healing the ecology of the planet and its creatures.

Half Hour Yoga class

Hello and Happy Monday everyone! I, Diana, will be going live this evening May 24, 2021, at 7:00 pm right here, if you'd like to practice with me. I know it is short notice, but I'd like to lead you all to start the week off right! It's totally free, and will be on this page forevermore! However, I am thinking about starting up Zoom classes, where we can actually see each other, say hello, and practice. I know things are changing, schedules condensing, and I haven't seen a lot of you in so long! In the future, Zoom classes will be donation based (Venmo: -Benigno), where half of proceeds will go to a different charitable organization each month. Email [email protected] for more info, what morning or evening is best, or just to say, ''hey, keep me posted as to where and when!'' See you tonight!

Marilyn is a movie star, who exists now in old movies and our imagination. She practiced yoga with Indra Devi, who was one of the instrumental gurus responsible for bringing yoga to the western world. We have so many ways to access our practice nowadays, and some of us are lucky to practice, though social distanced where we live. I have begun teaching again to actual students (yay!), and you can catch me teaching in real life every Friday at Fitness 19 in Malverne at 9:30 A.M. and for the rest of October, Thursday's at 11 am. Any questions let me know! Wear a mask! Tell a friend!

Reflections from three months ago, before we sunk deeper into uncertainty. I am attempting to reclaim my voice, and I encourage you all to do the same. The blog posts that come up here may not always be about yoga. I write about that pretty exclusively on https://blog.namafit.com/author/dianamariabenigno/. They have many strains of thought for the budding yogini by many, but if you're into Shakespeare fanfiction and otherworldly rants on spirituality with mythological undertones, then feel free to peruse https://thebooktreefairy.com. If you're here for the yoga classes, more announcements to come this week!!!

Tonight is the Full Corn Moon, in Aquarius. This moon encourages us to dance in the moonlight, embrace your sensitivity, and let your energy flow softly into the second half of summer. I will be going live at 7:45 pm for about 45 minutes to lead you into a light practice, available for whenever you need. This capture is from last night, around midnight. It lit up the whole sky. 🌝

Although I cannot wait to be back in the studio, I’m happy to be able to practice with all of you here online. Stay tuned for more live classes! 🐘”our own heart is our temple. The philosophy is kindness.”-Dalai Lama
