Liftoff

Sometimes life takes on this crazy when it rains it pours kind of pace.
That would be now:)
All good I would add! And usually it is. That is not to say it offers its own special challenges. And so what to do? The same stuff, but more of it. Centering, breathing, meditating, mantra, asana, yoga living.

The best is chanting the Ganesha mantra with our brand new puppy yesterday morning. She went ape! For good reason.

So here's the thing: Liftoff. Things going into full-fledge mode. In life, and on the mat. Or perhaps better said that when it happens in life please for the love of all things good take it onto the mat. (Me talking to me here.) Which takes me to pushing an edge or trying something new. The newest thing I did in yoga asana wasn't necessarily a new pose, but a maneuver for lack of a way nerdier word. Just turning from reverse warrior (or triangle) into half-moon (traditional not Bikram) by turning and facing the back of the room where I was leaning toward for reverse warrior. It's just a little flip. Was fun.

Students also get a kick out of kriyas using hanumanasana, just sayin. The best thing about being a yoga teacher is practicing on your own and creating things that you aren't sure were done before, and then sharing them. Like kneeling on one knee with the other in front of you as if you're going to step up and standing on the one let lifting the other into the air for standing hanumanasa. Then put your hands in prayer mudra and continue. Right on.

Going to rock out with Seane Corne this weekend for a few hours. Why? Cuz I'm ridiculously lucky. I'm sure she'll take me to that next place, that next step or kriya or asana. Then I get to share it with my students. Win-win. (Also a good movie we just saw with Paul Giamatti. Speaking of, the Warrior was an outstanding film.:)

Much love to the world! Spread it. Today.
