Press Reset
Soon after we were married 32 years ago and moved into our first
house, our garbage disposal broke. We called a plumber and when
he walked in, opened the cabinet below the sink and pressed
the reset button we learned a great lesson (for $80) that has
stayed with us for the rest of our lives. Sometimes we
just need to press reset.
Years later, as a computer programmer and systems
analyst, my first instruction to a frustrated operator
would be “turn it off and turn it back on”. Of course,
now with everyone immersed in electronics, we know
when the computer freezes or the phone won’t
respond, turn it off and turn it back on – reset.
This revelation surfaced again for me recently when
I was pondering how my yoga and meditation
practice are like hitting the reset button inside.
Just like my phone or laptop, when I have too
much input I can freeze and become overwhelmed.
That is just when I need to get on the yoga mat or meditation
cushion and reset. Just like my phone, it takes me back to my
original settings! Isn’t that cool? It’s why students walk out of
class saying “whew….I feel so much better now.”
They are back to their original settings.
We all need to push reset regularly. This release and return
to ourselves keeps us from getting sick and makes life so
much more enjoyable. Don’t wait for an annual vacation
to reset, schedule weekly classes, walks in the park,
social time with friends and family and unscheduled
down time now. We are here to help you reset
with Yoga, Pilates, Meditation and QiGong in a
welcoming environment and vibrant community.
We look forward to seeing you in 2015 with a
wish for safety, happiness, good health and peace!
Love,
Kathy

AGREEMENT OF RELEASE & WAIVER OF LIABILITY (Please review waiver and sign below.)
I hereby agree to the following: That I am participating in the Yoga classes or Workshops offered by The Yoga Center of Columbia;
during which I will receive information and instruction about yoga. I recognize that yoga requires physical exertion which may be strenuous
and may cause physical injury, and I am fully aware of the risks and hazards involved. I understand that it is my responsibility for
any risks, injuries or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in the program.
The informing of my physical conditions is simply to enable the instructor to provide optimal instruction, and in no way
absolves me of this responsibility. Therefore, I, my heirs or legal representatives, waive any claim I may have against
The Yoga Center of Columbia or any teacher(s) or representative(s) of same.
