graduation day

This photo means a lot to me.  Recently I had the great privilege to be a part of the Soul Tree 200 hour YTT training.  Over the past six months I have seen these fabulous people grow in strength, flexibility, and grace.  but even more noticeably I have seen them expand as people on a more subtle but more profound level.  I'm so impressed.  I'm so grateful.

ok, i'm back.  this time i swear.  i'm re-dedicating myself to this space and this project, which at this point has been going on too long to fade away.

i'm teaching alot, practicing daily, and i'm enrolled in yoga school - working towards my 500 hour certification.  so basically it's all yoga all the time right now.  including in my photography.

flight over fear

we are heading back to the states very soon.  i'm going to miss alot of things about costa rica, samara, and the massage school.  one of the big joys of my life here is my yoga room.  it was the first room i stayed in when i came to crsmt as a guest.  now it's the room i practice in everyday.  i love looking out the windows and seeing iguanas and squirrels climbing around on the trees, love hearing the jungle birds singing all around me.  i love the light and the many moods of the day.  
it is not however, an overly photogenic room.  for some reason it's beauty doesn't translate to film.  so even though it's where i do most of my yoga, it's never really where i take photos.  today i was determined to document it in all it's glory, at least once before leaving.  finally i feel i captured some of it's qualities; serene, warm, clean and beautiful.

manifestation station

it's so exciting to return to costa rica and see all the work that's gone on while we've been away.  months ago on our way to moab russ and i pulled over at a gas station and drew the plans for a new classroom on a napkin.  after some deliberations we decided we'd nailed our blueprint and took a photo with russ's phone, sending it off to be duplicated in real life.  
after much work, some problems, and lots of fine tuning the classroom is finally ALMOST done!  i couldn't resist jumping in for a triumphant warrior pose today when we were checking out what our napkin drawing had become.  master manifestation in action! i can't wait to see all the students in it in the coming week.
