to more like 600 hrs…too get to the 700 hrs. milestone to attain the yoga therapist certification, a path of blood, sweat and tears? No, no, not at all – all JOY when blessed with knowledgeable teachers.

Many would ask, why? Isn’t 200 hrs. enough? You don’t need anymore credentials to teach – practice is more important. Well, yes, then again, no. Practice is meaningful with well explored intentions – to be more purposeful in actions we take. That, then, becomes Karmic, a magnet for boundless abundance to enter into our being. Action without knowledge is foolish public hazard; stockpiling of knowledge without action of sharing though is pointless.

“Transforming Lives & Healing Communities”

reads Niroga Institute’s mission statement. It starts with Self – otherwise you are just preaching and lecturing out of ego. Hoping to gain back the purity and joy that got me to practice in the first place. Gratitude to all teachers and students of yoga …

LOVE Marianne Williamson:) She is so insightful … a beautiful soul.

As a student of Yoga Therapy, on the road to becoming a certified Yoga Therapist, I really want to see this – it seems to incorporate so much of what we do as a yoga therapist … Click Here !

I know I know last posts have had nothing to do with Yoga, Mindfulness and Spiritual growth … as I traveled to Southern California and then to Boston …and just being out of my comfort zone to figure out what is that ZONE. I have also completed my Mindfulness Foundation course upon returning so not wanting to be flooded with words – just the visuals… but now here I go:

“Like a wild animal, the soul is tough, resilient, resourceful, savvy, and self-sufficient: it knows how to survive in hard places. I learned about these qualities during my bouts with depression. In that deadly darkness, the faculties I had always depended on collapsed. My intellect was useless; my emotions were dead; my will was impotent; my ego was shattered. But from time to time, deep in the thickets of my inner wilderness, I could sense the presence of something that knew how to stay alive even when the rest of me wanted to die. That something was my tough and tenacious soul.”
― Parker J. Palmer, A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life

There’s been one too many young adults terminating their lives prematurely – before really living – it’s like they did not recognize all the extraordinary in the ordinary. I hope yoga gives them the tool to find what’s inside, beyond one’s moods, beyond any roadblocks. Beyond that monkey mind of swinging emotions or dull numbness or that unsettled body – in present moment, there’s clarity, alertness and joy. In this breath, there’s ENERGY. It’s fully wired and connected circuitry that emits that soft luminous light. We all have it. That light. Once we remember to plug it in.
