Simple

That is what i'm shooting for in yoga, in life, and as a teacher. I want it to be one place without tons of things (props) and ideas and things to pack in. Simple. I want to share simple.

AWESOME.

Now that that's off my chest, I'll write on this site when compelled. Itried every weekday, but life/work caught up with me, and this felt like work. not good energy for y'all. and by that I mean to put out there to anybody, the world.

But today i did think of something to say. sometimes you spend lots of time, energy, potentially even money on something, and you get to walk away with one significant message or lesson learned. when I think about a lot of amazingly talented teachers i've studied with or places I've studied, I can say that i've learned one big thing from each of them.

7 Centers Yoga Arts - Stand tall and grow roots. (and during my 200-hour, i learned the WORLD!)

Ana Forrest - Loosen up your neck muscles. how can your heart and head talk if nothin can get through there?!

Paul Grilley - Everybody's bodies are different. inherently. deal iyengar-lovers! (and that includes me:)

Paulie Zink - Have fun, be like a kid, and you can make up yin poses to be any animal.

And most recently, I've realized that meditation can be fun. my mantra works wonders, and it will be with me forever, as will a few of my sankalpas. but trying different things while sitting can really make it fun. thanks to Sally Kempton and the book i'm reading for opening my eyes to that.

Oh and PS -

My mantra is ohm strim brahm briyaspataye namaha.

Sankalpas are there is perfection and fun in every moment and nothing is really that important! You know, other than love and family.

Gotta love it. Works wonders.

Gotta finish watching American Idol. And by that I don't gotta do that at all, and can hardly believe I wrote it. Thanks mom! Jeeze. but it makes me kinda happy, so there is the yoga.

Love to all!
