Dear Friends,

As I firm up my schedule ...I now have availability for adding personal training clients...I have been at full capacity and now due to schedule changes...I have room for 2 more clients. I can come to your home or business or you can come to my home studio.There are many options for private training. You may also think about this as an option for holiday gifts...for yourself or for someone you love!

I am very happy to be able to teach InnerDance (spirit dance) at the previous Devaloka and now Indigo Village location. When I was ready to return to teaching...Indigo Village was also looking for a new location. I can continue teaching InnerDance at Indigo Village for the remainder of the year. I am currently looking for locations to continue InnerDance for 2008. I have one possibility in Encinitas....still looking for additional options.

I would also like to remind you to visit my NEW website www.theinnerhouse.us for current schedule information. New class " Innerflow" registration is now open for accepting students for 2008...location in Solana Beach...check website for details ...this class requires pre-registration.

Many thanks to Foundation Yoga for welcoming my students and myself so lovingly...I'm (we ) are very happy to call Foundation Yoga my new home!!! Think about coming back to yoga or/and InnerBlend for a great experience in a wonderful space!! Check website for schedule information. If you happen to get off work early or are looking for a time option to get you home earlier....try my Wed afternoon 4:45pm for Yoga...a great class at a great time!!!

As we approach the Holiday energy ...treat yourself to Yoga or any class that offers you tools for dealing with this time of year. Please remember to be kind and loving to each other.

Thank you for all that you have done for me this past year...I am very blessed.


I look forward to seeing you soon!
Namaste,
Summer

Thank you to Sunday night's InnerDance students...WOW!!! What a great class!!! See website for December dates!!!

Now that the holiday schedule is behind us ...may we all re-unite with our class schedule for yoga...innerblend and innerdance.

Please also view the website for details on the brand new class " innerflow" as well as the regular class schedule.

Dear Friends,

This was me in April 2007 celebrating my 50th birthday and The World Celebration Qigong Day!!!

Today ...my hair is growing back and I actually look like I have a style...haven't even had my first haircut yet...picture coming soon!!!

Please join me today...Nov 25 Sunday @ 4pm for my continued celebration of healing at
InnerDance (spiritdance)
at Indigo Village in Encinitas

I feel great !!! I'm back to a full schedule of teaching and training. I've also just completed the final editing and proofing of my new website and new business look. Thank you to Pamela Wells for such beautiful work on my website...

This new look represents the me who has experienced healing on profound levels not only this past year...but...many times....it represents the me who has deeply loved friends who have gone before me and taught me the deepest level of love possible! They graciously passed the torch of Bodhisattva responsibility to share and to lift others through my teaching and life's experiences which show that even the most difficult experiences are the very ones that lead us to a more compassionate and loving life. Not necessarily a life without pain...most importantly...a life full of love.

This love is full of wisdom and the passion to lift others. This love is what I've been taught from Gladys ...my friend...our friend who died of cancer in 2003. There is a dedication page on my new website. This tribute honors 3 wonderful woman who were taken before we were able to truly appreciate their gifts. The wisdom these Women bestowed allows us to accept the gifts and to continue where they left off.

I would also like to thank Dr. Tsai, my acupuncturist and my friend. He drew the Chinese character as my logo for my website. This logo represents " union...gathering..etc" connecting us to " our inner house" . Dr. Tsai has treated me since Dr. Ni ( my first acupuncturist) (one of the 3 women honored on my tribute page) he has been a loving friend and a dedicated Dr. I am so grateful for his presence in my life!!!

I would also like to thank my husband Jim Autio. When he heard and felt and saw my description of my new vision ...he drew the first logo and helped me create "the innerhouse". Although, the logo became more simplified...his early influence 2 years ago ...was the catalyst of where we are now.

And to my friend Dan...
Where do I begin??? Dan is a true friend...a brother...I would never have survived many of the serious obstacles that came my way over 5 years ago. Dan was there with words of wisdom and support. I don't know how to say thank you. To also say thank you to his family who lovingly shared his energy with me so I would be able to have such a good friend. Dan also saw "the innerhouse " vision and with his own experiences with Chinese characters...helped me to find the logo as it is now.

And to Barbara...my client and friend who sat with me on the floor 2 years ago with a loving spirit and an artistic ear as we talked and created the beginning of " the innerhouse"..

There are so many people I would love to thank..I know I would run out of blog space...this will come in time...for now ...this specific appreciation is for the creation of "the innerhouse".

Thank you!!!

Love to all
Namaste,
Summer

Dear Friends,

I can't express in words how happy I am to have returned to my classes...the sharing that I love so much!

While I don't know what the future holds ...how life's experiences show up to teach us... to help us become the very best we can be...I am grateful for the chance to return to what I love!!!

Today I feel the best I have in my entire life...other than the feeling of giving birth to my son( not during the birth)....but the feeling of becoming a Mother...hahahaha...I feel so good...so clear ...so ready to continue to share and to teach about not only my life's experiences...but to allow the multitudes of various special teachings to show us all how to move through life with a higher sense of values...to open our hearts so we can step into our day to day lives truly behaving with a natural sense of compassion and kindness. This is my sincere wish...that we all learn to make this natural ...to do this better...to practice whatever helps us get there ...it may be your religion...your faith...it may be your yoga practice...your meditation....maybe you have your own personal, special way of connecting to that place inside of you that allows compassion and kindness to show up.

It's not in the classes ...it's not on the yoga mat...it's not in your church on Sunday...it's what happens after you leave...what did you learn ? How do you behave? What are you doing day to day that supports you???? What are you participating in that raises you up??????

As we approach the holidays...let your inner compass be your guide...let your love seep out into your experiences. If you find yourself stressed...how can you change what you commit to ...maybe do it differently next year...maybe do something crazy this year...change it up...give yourself the gift of doing what brings out the best in you!!!

Please join me for a Gratitude celebration!!!

Spirit Dance will start earlier than expected...Indigo Village in Encinitas is still available through December...we are lucky to have the chance to return to our classes while I continue to look for space to share together in 2008. I know that many of you prefer Saturday mornings for Spirit Dance. Since, I have been out of the loop for almost one year...healing and building my strength...I have not been able to find any location that has Saturday mornings available. I am excited to offer a new time and day format...while I realize this may take some adjusting...I have personally been taking a yoga class at this same time and I found it to be my preferred time once I made that adjustment.

I hope you will make an effort to arrange your schedule to include Spirit Dance on Sunday afternoons at 4pm. I'm very excited to re-unite and celebrate my healing as well as celebrate the love we all feel so deeply when we dance together. I would also like to offer this class FREE to any firefighter or anyone who has become homeless due to the fires. I would also like to continue where we left off and offer this class as a donation class...the suggested donation would be between $10 - $20 per class...however, if you find that you can't afford $10 ...donate what you can...
