When I first encountered yoga, I wasn’t a fan. I thought it was “weird.” It was 1995, and I was a student in the dance department at The University of Texas at Austin. We did yoga on Wednesdays. My dance professor sensed my skepticism and challenged me in pedagogy class to observe and learn to teach Yoga for Seniors. It was the start of a whole new journey for me. I was amazed at how alive and vibrant these women were. They were tuned in to life at a deeper level than I had seen before. From then on, yoga was part of my regular training routine, and it stayed with me as I moved to New York City to dance professionally. It’s there that I also fell in love and got married. When I was 27, my father became critically ill.The three weeks he spent in the hospital tested every ounce of my faith and joy. I learned when to fight, and when to let go. I learned to stop praying for what I wanted and began leaning into whatever was. I found within me a strength I didn’t know I had, even as my beloved mentor and spiritual guide was dying.

As I sit in the front room of my house, on my big comfy red chair, with my precious red heeler, Lila, sleeping on her ottoman and ignoring the view of her outside domain, I am so touched. The evening sun is lighting up the bushes and trees outside in such a lovely autumnal glow. I have some instrumental guitar music playing on Spotify, supporting my creative endeavor of writing something that matters. Or at least doesn’t suck.

I’m basking in a moment like this, because it feels hard earned. I’ve been driven and goal-oriented since my youth, and contentment does not come naturally.

I first learned about contentment, or santosha in Sanskrit, in yoga teacher training back in New York City, 2004, which was probably the most competitive era of my life. Just hearing about santosha, which is one of the inner practices of yoga (niyama), sparked my whole mind and spirit with curiosity.

NEW BLOG POST: The Tremble of New Life

"I am happily home from my Paris/Chartres trip for my Labyrinth Facilitator training, and I have to say it was a wonderful experience.

Being back at Chartres Cathedral felt more like home this time. It was as if I never left! There is a beautiful timelessness there that I find very comforting.

And yet once again, I was struck by my body’s response to the space and to the labyrinth.

As I walked the labyrinth the first time, I couldn’t believe how shaky my legs were. Yes, it had been a journey to get there and I’m sure I was tired, but this level of shakiness was something else.

From my sacrum down I felt jittery, weak, and wobbly. I knew I wasn’t going to fall – I was safe – but there was a tremble within me that spoke of new life.

All I could think about was a baby giraffe.

I felt like a baby giraffe..."
