As soon as you let go of trying to make something happen, it happens on it’s own. That’s the paradox of Forcing or Allowing….

Yoga for the pose is yoga from your head

Yoga for the process is yoga from your Heart

Fire is warmth. Fire is heat. Fire is light in the darkness. And fire transforms. Take the broom and sweep through your mind and your life. Gather the debris and feed it to your fire. Deadwood burns best. So find the parts that aren’t working and burn them away.

A post for yoga teachers.

Consider the question: Does your yoga teaching love you back?

To me, this is Ashaya Yoga®. Welcoming, Loving, Playful, Empowering and Honest.

A resource is a source of supply, support, or aid. It connotes a sense of innate wealth. Some are finite, others are renewable. And all of us have them.

I believe each of us is born with three distinctly sacred resources. They are:

I am talking about letting people flourish as themselves. Giving the people in your life the same gift of acceptance and trust that you gave to yourself as you figured out your ways and letting them figure out what works for them

The point is, nobody knows your style, your nuance, your way of doing things better than you do. So, you don’t have to look to everyone else to tell you how to do things. Look inside, you can trust yourself.

Be choosy when you look for a teacher. Seek out teachers who serve you fully. Find the person with the depth to help take your practice deeper.

I wish I had known it was possible to shift my experience of ANYTHING and EVERYTHING by shifting how I was thinking about it.

Most of us think that an Easy life is what we want. Unfortunately, I’ve never met anyone who’s life doesn’t go up and down at times. What if there were another way of being in relationship with life?

If you’ve ever tried to start a healthy habit or practice, you know it takes a little work. They don’t just start and get running smoothly without your intention and attention.

I’ve decided I just can’t allow myself to get too busy anymore. And the more I try to build in little breaks the more I realize how deep a practice it is to create enough boundary not to be so busy anymore.

The moment when Love your way through came to me, it created a profound shift in my life.   Instead of using fighting, struggling, or force to get through my life - I learned I could use Love as the starting point.

What is the support that you need in order to show up in the way you want to show up for your life?

Part of what feels so good about being loved is that the other is Deeply Affirming you. YOU, yes, YOU

Restoration includes those activities that bring you into a space of joy and delight just by doing them.

It’s New Year’s time. The holidays are winding down and we’re turning our attention towards becoming the person we always thought we could be.
