Memories…

I was relaxing this evening, just allowing my mind to drift a little from yoga pose to yoga pose and as the mind tends to do, bits and pieces of different classes I’ve taken, many of the teachers who taught me, just warming my heart and reminding me of all the lessons learned, the journey and all of its twists and turns…the good days and the really bad days the days where I was consumed with doubt or the days where my ego won…all these thoughts, so many…and I realized that today is nine years to the date from the first time I ever took hot yoga, and it was here in Atlanta at the Sandy Springs Bikram Hot Yoga studio! I was a goner from that moment on…a hot yoga junkie! I could not get enough, can still not get enough of this beautiful stuff! I had practiced for many years before in New York but it was the hot that got me and then when power came into picture…well you all know what happened…because now it happens to you every day at our studio!
Yoga is the heartbeat of my soul it is the get and go that I rise to each morning and the breath that I succumb to every evening. This practice, this dedication , this commitment to my life and in turn to yours is why I am…and if I know nothing else it is this…we are all connected. I teach you as I have been taught by others…I will always continue until I draw my last breath and I hope that this journey fills you up as it is what speaks to the goodness in all of us. namaste. b-
