svasana day

this man is full of wisdom and humor and is still busting no hands headstands well into his 70's.  thank you sri dharma mittra, for the inspirational day.

"you are not cell phone;  you are signal." 

"you get older and every year lose more poses.  until in the end one pose remains; svasana."

                                                                                   aim true, stay true

today, my girl crush kathryn budig, asked us to define what "aim true" means to each of us personally.  i often find metaphors in literal definitions so i started with the actions of aiming and shooting.  i thought of each physical step i go through when i stand at 30 yards, draw my bow, and release the arrow.  here's what i wrote:

observe (your target)
lighten your grip
pull back/prepare (use your strength)
focus
breathe
let go (release)

taking this list of steps through a figurative filter to apply to all life challenges they came out something like this:

right perception
trust/acceptance
knowledge
intention
breathe
go! (with confidence)

no distractions, no doubts, no hesitation.  aim true.

 she also had us impersonate jackie chan all day but that's a story for another post....

yjsf

it's been a busy new year so far and so i haven't been writing as much.  devin came to visit, we've had various health challenges going on, the new class started, i've taken more of a leadership role creating a yoga program at the school and now we've made our way to san francisco for the yoga journal conference.
nikki and russ are working hard debuting holistic expeditions, while i get to sample alot of yoga.  i have 18 hours of yoga scheduled over the next three days.   i'm going to be studying with dharma mittra, kathryn budig, ana forest, sean corne and annie carpenter.  i. am. so. excited.  
i can't wait to be a yoga student all weekend.  namaste bitches, xx.
