Today is a good day to resume my blogging. It is the fourth time this week that a student or friend has asked me why or if I continue to take classes from other instructors. The answer is indubidably, “YES!” I am forever a student. And boy do I have some amazing instructors who daily inspire me to do better not only with my postures, but to live my life more fully and graciously. The minute I think that I’ve learned enough, that I can be complacent, is the minute that I’ve lost the yoga. It is so important to maintain a beginner’s mind, an openness to new learning. You may try a teacher and think, “This is not the way I learned to do this pose.” Instead, I implore you to try to fully immerse yourself in the new method. Something may click in your body or mind in a new way. It could feel different….or better! Try it! You might like it! I believe that all yoga is good: all of the different styles, methods and modes. We move our bodies, we quiet our minds and enliven our spirits. I really can’t think of anything better. I am incredibly grateful to my students and teachers. I learn so much from you both. I feel like being able to teach yoga is a gift. it always feels like pleasure. Never a job. PURE JOY.

I recently returned from a trip to Maui with my family, so I thought I’d guide you on a journey, too! A physical and Energetic Journey that will balance effort and ease, sun and moon, masculine and feminine qualities within. Balancing these qualities can transform your life. That’s the essence of yoga.

My immediate family along with my parents and my husband’s parents will all be going to Hawaii, so though I’ll miss you guys, I’ll be soaking up the sun’s rays. I’m going to try to take some yoga there, so I can learn some new moves to teach you guys. Yoga – Hawaiian Style-woo hoo!
