WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH LESLIE HOWARD
Happy New Year! Yesterday, I asked my Sunday class if they had made any resolutions and not one of them had, including myself. Perhaps this is wisdom? Instead i asked them to set an intention for the year around their yoga practice. I know the old saying, "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions". But positive change does start with focused intention. So whether it is to touch your toes when bending forward or to live with a more quiet mind, i encourage you to set an intention. Write it on your calendar and your steering wheel and your bathroom mirror. Keep it in the mind as much as you can. It helps!
The ancient text of the Upanishads tell us: Yoga helps lead us from the unreal to the real, from the darkness to the light, and from the fear of death to the knowledge of immortality.
This is my intention for 2010 for my own practice as well as for my teaching.
Please join me in some of my workshops in Berkeley this month, or think about signing up for Labor Day weekend in Napa. Lastly, on Monday, Feb 1, 2010
i have my big debut at the Yoga Journal conference in San Francisco. Please send me positive thoughts and let your friends know if you think they might be interested.
Be well, Leslie
