Yoga Celebrating the Sweetness of Life! |
|
"Happiness resides in the realm of spirit. To find happiness is to find your soul. To find your soul is to live from the source of lasting happiness. This is not happiness for this or that reason, which is just another form of misery. This happiness is true Bliss, and it follows you wherever you go. " -Deepak Chopra | |

Yoga as an Agent of Evolution
Everyday when I show up for my yoga practise I ask myself, 'What is Yoga?" Why am I doing it?"
And, with great delight, I can report that the everyday the answer is different. That is how RICH yoga is. There is always an edge of discovery and greater awareness.
As many of you know, the "why?" of my yoga in the last few weeks has been EVOLUTION. A confluence of events and epiphanies have me hearing an inner drumbeat of "evolve, evolve, evolve." It is a great rhythm and I have been dancing to it with wild abandon.
Here are three jewels I'd like to share from the last few weeks:
1. AS WE EVOLVE WE BECOME MORE CHILDLIKE.
I had the privilege of teaching yoga in the Phys. Ed program at Crescent Park Elementary and I was utterly transformed by the kid energy. My committment to self: Giggle more, play harder, do acrobatics, get my barefeet into the water, into the mud, on the grass everyday, embrace innocence, do handstands and cartwheels and make silly faces!
2. WE ARE ALL THE SAME.
Eventually, inevitably a knowing becomes a feeling. I've known intellectually for quite some time that we are all the same but this past week the feeling of it burst open my heart and landed in my gut. What bliss! I had the opportunity to bring my yoga schtick to a corporate leadership training event. It's been three years since I myself shifted from sitting behind an office desk to rolling around on my yoga mat. I was thrilled that when these two worlds re-collided for me, it was magical and beautiful and it fit! We connected! We are one!
3. IT'S A PROCESS.
They say a great traveller never arrives. A great traveller has no destination, only the love of the journey.
may we all be great travellers on this thrillride of life
namaste,

| "You are led, when you share your loves, to an enchanted life of inner happiness, which unsharing others cannot know. When you give sparingly, sparingly are you rewarded. When you give worlds, you are rewarded vastly." -Richard Bach
"Love, like knowledge, is an amazing commodity; the more you give away, the more you have left. Choose to love generously. Choose to love rather than judge When you choose love over judgements, you create vital energy that nourishes your heart and soul.' -David Simon
"Ever since Happiness heard your name, It has been running through the streets trying to find you.' -Hafiz
