Dreams are meant to be lived, not dreamt - GG
And dreams don’t have to be huge or small, they can be whatever you want as long as you, with awareness, pursue them, fully and whole heartedly and bring them to life.
-Some where around the year 2012 I began my path towards becoming a yoga teacher. A few set backs later, in 2015 my yoga teacher certification came to fruition and here I am, still on this journey, a decade later.
-This weekend I got to travel to New York City (my first time further east than Michigan) and I also, simultaneously, got the opportunity to practice out of .nyc , their, nothing short of stunning, Greenpoint location. I am so thankful for this moment, it truly is something I dreamed about for years. Not just going to a class in New York, but showing up to a class with the confidence, background, knowledge and having experienced the depths of teaching I have up to this point. Going to a class where I could fully understand the room and be inspired, aligned, and invigorated by the teacher in front of me as I took that class. All of these things showed up for me as I stepped on my mat in New York City, all of them and a few unexpected surprises as well.
-From the fully graffitied door that we stood and lined up at waiting for the doors to unlock so we could head up to practice, the preset mats, the backdrop, 17 foot high beautiful ceilings, my place on my mat, the way the room filled up and we all sweat and flowed together to my time post class in front of the room, my yoga heart is completely full.
New York & Yoga Space....thank you, you were well worth the wait.
-After my class in this incredible space, the teacher and staff let me take the stage and indulge in some of my inversion.A moment that my personal Yoga Teacher heart on cloud 9 for the entire day at least.
-On the path of life, if I have one hope for you, it’s that you build something that allows you to seize unforgettable opportunities as much as you can.
