Rainbeau Mars

We here love the current events. How exciting and cool that the longest day of the year comes in my favorite month, as there never seems to be enough Sunshine in a day for me. Everything that has to do with men and their nurturing, fathering energy and potential makes me warm and smile, just like the ever illuminating sun.

Responsible, Supportive, forgiving, unconditionally loving, accepting, strong, present, accountable, committed and reliable. These are a few reasons that I respect and admire all fathers as well as my own.

Thank you for inspiring me with your steady drum beat nature -

For loving your children, your mothers and your wives.

For nurturing our gardens and helping our flowers blossom open more vibrantly – fragrantly.

Thank you for your witty humor and having the guts to take strong leadership even when we have been scared. or in doubt.

Thank you for knowing that we will lead you back into your hearts – for understanding the inevitable.

For giving us love, inspiration and validation – strength, confidence, and courage – For reflecting – protecting – connecting and reminding us that everything we see you is in us too and we need each other to grow.

Thank you for always being there for us – For holding us strong and solid -

In admiration and respect.

Thank you for being you.

Happy Fathers Day.

Rainbeau

*** It turns out that almost 50 percent or more of the people that I worked with yoga and or ra’yoka on have been men. Men need to feel connected in body and mind as well. I created ra’yoKa to be a more physical, refreshing and active way to approach the practice of a body mind connection. This said, it’s easy enough in the beginning so there are visualization techniques that will take anyone above their current plateau in sport or life.

This Dvd is a simple enough but powerful to prepare us for the next all encompassing system that I am in the process of creating. We need to be ready for the next step. So in the mean time – You give and I hope to give more and more to you,

In regards to fathers and those men that are not yet ready to practice yoga at a studio here is a little tool that you can use at home. See what men are saying about this DVD:

“My daughter and i workout weekly to this one! Thanks for motivating me to get back into yoga since my motorcycle crash. Your unique mix of martial arts & yoga and music was so invigorating on the ra’yoKa overview DVD that i got the dusk & dawn series too”… Bradford Dean,  Marina Del Rey, California

“Rainbeau Mars is that rare gift in a teacher, able to lead by instruction, example and inspiration.”  David Duchovny, Actor

“Studying with Rainbeau has been of great benefit to me. It has made me stronger and more flexible on the inside as well as the out, helping me to stay grounded and relaxed throughout the chaos of my life. Rainbeau has an incredible gift for teaching, i am very grateful to her.”  Flea, Bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers

“Rainbeau shines with a rare inner and outer body beauty that comes right from her heart. She is an exceptional yogini, whose graceful presence inspires the student to offer the fullest of themselves to every moment.” John Friend, Founder of Anusara Yoga

“Rainbeau Mars embodies the connection that we are all so hungry for” Rick Rubin, Music Producer

On ra’yoka:

great challenge!, December 9, 2009 – I am a vinyasa junkie and love Rainbeau Mars’ other dvds. This is a fantastic workout and a nice change adding in martial arts moves with yoga postures. It really works the core and has quite a challenging balance sequence. And the bonus advance sequence gives me something to work towards. I highly recommend this dvd! K. LEVINE

Best Yoga DVD in the Market!, December 11, 2009 – This ra’yoKa DVD is amazing. It gives the body an amazing workout while still providing the clarity and mental benefits of traditional yoga. The poses are compiled in a way which works the core, increases flexibility and strength. Aside from ZenMama, I have Rainbeau’s entire collection of yoga DVD’s and this one is definitely her best!! I attempt to do it everyday and I am seeing the results. It’s a nice workout to improve overall tone, wake up the body and the bonus workout is definitely something to aspire to.   KAI BENJAMIN

On Yoga For beauty:

Rainbeau’s new yoga tapes are a definite must have!, “I recently purchased the new Dawn/Dusk yoga series. All I can say is wow. The practice is a wonderful combination of challenging poses and learning to breathe into your body and let go of all tensions. As someone who is trying to let go in my life, I can honestly say that Rainbeau’s yoga is a key element in achieving that goal. Her mantras and “yoga language” are inspiring and so very relaxing. I truly recommend this series to anyone who wants to improve their yoga practice and learn how to let go and be still with yourself.” B. Green, MD

I can feel the reawakening and expanding into Summer.

My Body and Soul ready to shed the protective layers and Shine with all its might. As all things that we know, our ego can want to cling to the past, old patterns, addictions, sabotage, comfort food from the winter and any heart breaks we may have endured through the fun filled yet contracting winter holidays.

Its time – RIGHT NOW – We are the ones we’ve been waiting for, if not us then who, if not not now then when.” Its time to bust out of the shell, that traps us inside, where we hide, numb out and pretend not to care about shifting or even being a true star radiating light on this planet as we all are. Its time, to open ourselves up and illuminate – bringing light into the darkest parts of ourselves and the planet. I know… it sounds easier then it actually is. Its confusing and stressful at times.Our Ego loves to be right and get caught in the drama and illusion of our past. Its through adversity that we grow – so no matter how comfortable our past feels at times – awakening and growing is our greatest gift to humanity.  All that we knew, all that created this very cycle or the patterns that spin us backwards, around and down in the first place is addictive and like comfort food, that we all partake in, but yet, may we remember, that we simply blink and another year is spent by without us fully awakening, activating and living as our most passionate, present, loving, leader selves.

ALL IS PERFECT. If we open Wine, before its time – its simply vinegar. So.. as we breathe into the Summer Solstice that comes up I say LIVE ON THE EDGE AND LETS JUMP FEARLESSLY – Lets relax and slow down into where our hearts beat faster. hold on to each other, never let go and break though to the other side, where there is no where to side. FULL EXPANSION! the past has been the past, it brought us to this beautiful moment and both the rewards and pains that we are all collectively experiencing today. It no longer exists, it no longer serves, for if we look at the state of our planet, we must realize that we must change. As a collective, as a people and most importantly as a self. I am sad at the wounds on our planet and yet so hopeful that we will final see that that it is time to make a change.

The Bodhi Satva Theory says – No One Gets enlightened until we all do. Gandhi says its actually our light that we most afraid of. I am u. You are me. We ARE IT. We are in this together – all waking up as one.

In absolute gratitude for the light – for the sun and knowing that we are shining it on all the dark and illumntaing our very selves as we realize the need for solution now.

BLESS,

Rainbeau
