21May As teachers we need to be clear at why we are teaching. That it’s not about us and what we “want “ for the students. Sometimes our own ego can get involved- it can become a show or an experience that we are trying to create. Instead of holding a light or a mirror up for the student to find the light within there selfs . We are not broken, everything we need is already there . It’s just remembering . I was with my teacher @sharathjoisr in India one year and he asked us in conference , “ how many of you are teachers? And who told you to teach ?” I left the Shala and really contemplated what he said ~ I really hold it to a high regard and honor to share the teachings, to honor my teachers and come from a place of my own experiences. But ultimately I’m there to hold the lamp and so people can see the light of awareness within themselves. It’s not about me. And the teachers I love and respect taught me that . I am here to serve . #magicalawareness #gratefulheart #yogaallthetime #sufferless #service #lightofawareness #compassion #whydoyouteach #love #ashtangayoga #yogateacher Yoga Written By admin Comments / Read more

09May We stand at the presuppose of our fear and have to ask ourselves why not jump. Why not just live our best life? What is holding us back ? For me it’s about my ideas about myself and world that are complete misunderstanding. I get caught up in the story . The story isn’t real !!What’s real is your heart and what we are here to do in this life.why not Take a chance to take a leap of faith and trust the universe that you are going to be taken care of and you could suffer less and live more freely!

24Mar I’ve been pondering “Viveka” discriminative discernment lately. Do you have those times when you get put in a situation and your brain goes for a ride around the stories? Who was right/wrong , I should of said this blablabla. When we are in lack of spiritual understanding/ ignorance or “avidya” there is false identifications. Those identification of our stories, our body , our patterns of thought and deed . Through the practices of yoga , We get to unravel what is unwavering truth and what is ignorance . Viveka destroys ignorance ,the source of pain ! Lately mantra has stopped it in the tracks and again I am able to see clearly. #magicalawareness #mantra #yogaallthetime #8limbsofyoga #yogasutrasofpatanjali #svadhyaya #avidya #viveka #shiva #9thlimbyoga #yoga #practiceandalliscoming #ashtanga #meditation Yoga Written By admin Comments / Read more
