Dreams …

do come true in vivid colors sometimes.IMG_2946I know I know – a true yogini is supposed to strike a pose here in some pretzel pose instead of running after a dog in a down-jacket (um…, 32 degrees Fahrenheit).  It’s not a photo shoot – it’s just life.  with a canine company.  It’s called … Doga:)  Yoga lived off the mat.

Please read “Living Your Yoga” by Judith H. Lasater – who I am proud to call an authentic soul, a true teacher to many.

Every Yoga Class becomes Therapeutic.

– Judith H. Lasater

 

On answering questions on “hours” of training needed to be an effective teacher …and why she does not dispense certifications for 200 hours (so far I have probably done 200 hours with Judith … never added the numbers …enjoying every minute as to learn from a teacher of your choice is to be privileged.)

Answer: While I was involved in the initial talks on setting standards by credentialing, to me,  200 hours is a joke.  I feel that you need to have at least a BA in Yogic Studies – equivalent to a University Degree; then Masters to teach other yoga teachers; then a PhD to conduct yoga therapy.

ohhhh…

In an ideal world … where going to college does not in debt students to a lifetime of debt repayment plan … where yoga teachers were actually able to make a decent living and be respected as a “real” healthcare professional in a world of alternative medicine.  Working in collaboration with acupuncturists, chiropractors, herbalist, artists … Western & Eastern doctors … A Dream worth pursuing?

Yes:)

Should it read, Dog AT the Lake?

IMG_2951Crystal clear water … icy and delicious.  Ripples of light … let this delicious water cleanse you and wash out any impurities within.  Let’s pray to keep this water this clean and delightful.  Here’s how you can help:  Click Here.

If you should ever swim in this icy cold water – it’s like shimmering light ripples of  icy water enveloping you … it’s a beautiful. and … freezing … flowing liquid running through your hair caressing every pores of our skin.  Yes, teeth chattering, blue veins stencil-like defined with goose bumps … utterly wakes you up. Then …

after awhile you are one with the water.  No longer cold, you are one, with the element, with Mother Nature.

River streams to the … LAKE.  Even a dog knows that …Then what about,

Our stream of consciousness?

Where does our stream of consciousness flow to – what downstream?

Maybe a dog knows that better too.
