Diversity

Yoga still, after 15 years, surprises. I find it to be endlessly fascinating. There is nothing effortless about choosing this practice. And it is a choice. It is a choice to take classes with me. It is a choice to pick up that mat, drive to the studio, unroll that mat and expose all your weaknesses/vulnerabilities/fears all of your beauty/truth/love.

Once you start on this path, it is pretty hard to fall off. Trust me, you can fall off. But if you do, the duration of time that it will take you to get back on will be brief. Because once you have made a dedication to the mat, yoga becomes woven into your life. You realize that when you are not practicing your energy weakens, you feel contracted. And then what happens (this is the really beautiful part) you KNOW that your life is bigger than the compressed state which you are experiencing!

So we all come to the mat for 108 different reasons. The diversity in my classes is immense. My classes are open to all levels. And that is exactly what shows up on the mats. A wide wide wide circle of ages, yogic experiences, life experiences. Initially we are social strangers. But energetically we are spiritual brothers and sisters. In the time we share together on the mat we join our souls and open our hearts to the fact that we share our breath and heartbeat on a cosmic level. We are united in knowing that LOVE can transform anything.

May our hearts be filled and moved by great joy.

May peace be infinite within our spirits.

And may we each LOVE bigger than we ever imagined possible.

Peace Love and Yoga
