Silly silly doggie ! IMG_1068
Assisted a Cancer Suvivorship yoga session the other day in Palo Alto … The teacher who led the session was a dear cohort of mine from the 800 hrs. training. His mentor, Lorien was there to lend her support. The lighting, the music, the ambiance … were just right. His students were all smiles … loving the practice. Just feeling the warmth of teachers so dedicated to serve through the spooning of this healing medicine, yoga. There’s always this hard to explain vibrational connection I feel, whenever I am in the company of higher minds… generous hearts. Hoping to learn from those I feel are kindred spirits. Will cover more on this once I get an okay … Gratitude for this healing practice. Namaste.

Homework & more homework

cslewis

There are variety of reasons yogis may enter into this training; for many it’s to strive to become a better person; for others, especially in this program, it might be a little different. Realizing that those who claim to be a “healer” might have a bit of ego-issue. That ego to self-proclaim “healer” who there are many, we were asked to let go of day one …I gladly prescribe to that role of a humble servant, while we brew our remedy soups and polish our chakra crystals – lol :

I think as with all learning we come for our own purpose, to heal ourselves. Wholeness as a human being has to occur to us before we can ask it of others. The beauty of this offering is that it is truly completing the circle.

Span of one day …

A day in the life of …IMG_0110_smallIMG_0148_smallThat state of being to be at peace; with no regrets; full of gratitude for this life filled with love – THAT you want to carry to the next world.IMG_0149_smallIMG_0162_small Paramhansa Yogananda !? Spotted a yogi on the right who was a splitting image of Yogananda … unreal. So I thought from sleep deprivation but … real. It’s all real.IMG_0178_smallIt was a strange magical day to come upon this festival by pure chance… my jet lag mind-fog lifted with free yoga on the lawn.In gratitude.IMG_0431_smallBreathing in the chilly air provided by the forest, growing a tree of my own… focusing helps with balance, yes? IMG_9884_smallAsked for photos of me in yoga poses … ehhh, so going through our digital photo albums. Seems like hundreds of photos from various workshops, immersions, intensives/training over the years but of me? Hah?! A few from last year’s trip to Vancouver. It’s not a photo shoot; just taken by the arch to the Moon Pavilion thinking as an interesting contrast to the architecture… Ironically, very little photos of me in yoga poses – guess no one can accuse me of vanity. In days of selfies all around us, to me, yoga pose has been more an organic, perhaps a personal thing. Each pose sort of “grows” on you. Love

Trees for balance, focus.
Triangles for strength, stability.
Warriors …for strength, done – dynamically …agility.
Restorative helps with Pratyahara so you can do all the above and more.
Anything that makes you feel alive and well ! Saluting the goodness all around us.
