Throwback to 2016 - thirds?! Year of the Yoga Hoedown, a lovely Labor Day weekend organized by

This was a weekend I used to look forward to yearly, where I got to teach with my teachers & and where all the different worlds I had my feet in at the time came together.

Who knew that I would meet the love of my life here (on bucket drum) and that that 10 years later (on guitar) would be my son's godfather and that we would co-lead retreats in Europe where we both have roots.

We still have 2 spots left on our upcoming Croatia practice intensive retreat. Link in bio for details

Last week there was a trend here to post something from 2016. I remembered that year my teacher offered me the most wonderful opportunity to be part of this amazing film by . I thought I'd share a clip from that and a clip from now, along with Eddie's wise words and a personal reflection on change and practice.

In many ways the world 10 years ago was so different. Many of us would never have imagined many aspects of today's reality. A lot has happened to us as a global unit in the past 10 years.

If I boil it down to the smallness of my life and filter it through the lens of yoga practice I'll say this about the past 10 years...

Practice - any practice that leads to contemplation on all aspects of oneself - has the potential to deeply transform us. This transformation is not an external one, or one that leads us to be something/someone we weren't to begin with, but rather a quiet return to the goodness we innately hold.

Some things remain the same, but if you have practiced for some time you know nothing is the same. The practice itself may be the same structure, sequence, mantra, method...but everything else, including the experience of that practice and your relationship to it changes. If it doesn't you should consider looking at that.

A practice that leads you to compassion, to open yourself to the suffering of others, to doing your duty with great reverence and care, to relate with those you touch with skill, is the most radical thing we can offer ourselves and others at this time.

Standing here looking back, nothing is the same yet the devotion to what got me here remains unwaivering. That is thanks to all those who walk the path with me. The gift of Sangha or satsang that is embedded into practice is something we all need to hold near our hearts. We grow into the light together, we hold the darkness together. We breathe together.

Love, hold, care, feel the darkness, the pain, the suffering. remember love, remember hope ...stay close to your community and deeply care for another.

That is one thing we can do.

That is what comes to mind for me when I look back t 2016.

A little piece of a Beautiful prayer by Mark Sandlin of the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant in Greensboro, NC

🧡

Where there is hatred,
don’t let us rush past it
with nice words or nervous smiles.
Help us stay.
Help us tell the truth.
Help us refuse to look away.
Let Love disturb us.

Where there is injury,
teach us how to tend wounds gently,
and also how to ask
why those wounds keep happening
over and over again.
Let Love disturb us.

Where there is despair,
give us hope that doesn’t flinch.
Hope that doesn’t disappear
when things get awkward or costly.
Hope that stays.
And where there is darkness,
give us light;
not the kind that makes everything feel better,
but the kind that shows us
what we’d rather not see.
Let Love disturb us.

Where we’ve grown numb,
shake us awake.
Where we’ve gone along to get along,
interrupt us.
Where tradition matters more to us
than actual human lives,
and we benefit from that,
even quietly,
don’t let us pretend we don’t notice.

Love keeps whispering,
and sometimes shouting,
that gentleness isn’t weakness,
that kindness isn’t passivity,
and that silence is not peace.
Because peace without justice
isn’t peace.
It’s just harm
with better manners.
Let Love disturb us.

Thank you Nina for the picture 🧡
Thank you Ellie for sharing this prayer 🧡

अहिंसा (Ahiṃsā) – Nonviolence
A central principle in Yoga that involves not harming any living being through thought, word, or deed.

The Gita has a unique approach to what non-violence looks like in action, when duty calls.

Krishna advises Arjuna to fight a righteous battle as a warrior, and schools Arjuna on the concept of non-attachment to the fruits of our actions. We do right action, without expectation, different from renunciation of violence. This requires a steady mind, capable of great discernment.

Practice is essential!

Devī suktam

A beautiful hymn dedicated to the goddess in the form of the sound of truth - Vak

The truth that arises from the quiet, intimate state of being we can commune with during practice or immersed in nature. It is the light that illuminates the dark. It's subtle, a gentle whisper we fine tune into.

Practice is how we bring ourselves into a state of still quietitude where this truth can then free itself and be heard...be lived.

How lucky we are

Daily practice. An effort made to self observe, to build skill in action. A place where to build community, and a shared sense of direction in this wild life.

A space where we cultivate the love that resides within and share out.

Sharath always talked about the importance of
Dedication, Discipline and Devotion as the rooting force for a long lasting practice.

Only time can give insight into the meaning of these concepts. Their meaning goes beyond the word. In the yogic tradition you sit with a word or an Asana for a long time before these begin to open up within you and the experience settles into wisdom.

Abhyasa vairagya we apply repetition to our practice and hold no expectation, no attachment to that which it will inevitably blossom into but in its own time, when cultivated/nourished with the right ingredients and right guidance.

Here is us

We hold practice

Advanced teacher training completion!

"While the end results of our efforts are rewarding, gardening isn't really about fruit yields or flower counts; it is about the joy of the process....We are the gardeners of our life. The Earth has given us each a small plot to cultivate so we can learn how to become empowered co-creators on Earth." from Mirrors of the Earth by Asia Suler

We have spent the last 6 months studying, contemplating, Observing, integrating, Remembering important teaching both ancient and contemporary. Each of you came to it with great wisdom in your own fields, and years of practice. 

You remained steady in your devotion through all that life brought. Some of you had real challenges through it. This is such magnificent yoga in action. 

Patanjali opens in the sutras with the end goal in mind. You stayed your course, you each were such representation of the skill to remain focused in one direction through the ups and downs

The most important advice from Krishna to Arjuna is to perform his duty without attachment to the results, focusing on the action itself rather than its fruits. this principle encourages acting with dedication while remaining impartial to success or failure, victory or defeat. This is what I hope you carry forth as you continue to navigate this journey.  An essential attitude on the path we travel together as students and teachers. 

Some wise advice from the Bhagavad Gita:

Maintain equanimity: 
Be impartial to both success and failure, pleasure and pain, as these are temporary. 
This equanimity is considered a form of discipline.

Detach from the outcome: 
Offer yourself the freedom to act without being driven by desire or fear, this will lead to peace of mind.

Perform your duty (dharma): 
Fulfill your role and responsibilities in this lifetime, doing what is right without wavering.

Consider it an offering: 
Perform your work as a selfless act or an offering to the divine, rather than for personal gain.

Thank you to all the teachers involved

Come along with me while I entertain you with the Lila of identifying with form in this human incarnation...

I started teaching in 2008, my Ashtanga journey began at The Shala Yoga House in NYC in 2010. In January 2011 I was in Mysore for what would be the first of 9 years spent going to India once or twice per year for 2 to 3 months at a time. I completed the Advanced A&B series of Ashtanga Yoga under the guidance of my Guru Sharath Jois & Eddie Stern and received SharatJi blessing to teach in 2014, at the then KPJAYI (Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute) in Mysore, India, where I have had the honor of assisting SharathJi many times over the years.

I co-taugh with my teachers Kristin Leigh and Barbara Verrochi at TheShalaYogaHouse NYC for many years. In 2018 I moved to the Hudson Valley and started Ashtanga Yoga Newburgh in my garage. In 2019 I became a mother, and opened Newburgh Yoga Shala in 2022.

I've been dedicated to this lineage for 15 years, teaching daily Mysore for 11 years. In 2023 I found Shantala Sriramaiah, and have been an avid Veda student ever since.

I came to Yoga seeking ease from my ongoing struggle with eating disorders. I found Ashtanga to be the most effective therapy. The regimented, intense and repetitive nature of Ashtanga serves as a mirror to all that lives underneath the surface of the disease; the community aspect of the practice, and the close guidance/relationship to one teacher allowed me to feel safe to explore, and feel held while working through the complex deeply rooted layers of the disease.

My approach is rooted in believing that the practice itself has all it needs to initiate and hold transformation, a good teacher is one that can stand at the side of that, inform the journey, add softness or firmness and support the student in seeking the help they need as they navigate their journey.

it wasn’t until I became a mother that I really understood the depth, richness and wisdom of the practice. I sincerely believe in the profound benefits of this method. There is no one correct way to practice Ashtanga, rather a personalized approach to practice that allows for deep inner growth when done with sincerity and dedication.

"When you start practicing yoga, you will start to love everyone,” sharathJi

Through practice we hope to embody this teaching. SharathJi was a walking example of that.

What is unconditional love? How does sit manifest?

We practice.
