To all of my yoga teachers, students, both past and present, and friends.
You may or may not agree with the results of the election. You may be overwhelmed with emotions that feel impossible to process. You may want to run away. You may be celebrating. However, you are in a unique position with the wisdom you have gained through your practice (sadhana) to first, as hard as it may be right now, get yourself back to a place of equanimity. This is one thing you can do- let your breath be an anchor in this moment. This moment is the only moment that truly exists.

Meditate, pray, walk in nature, ground, practice asana, pranayama, etc. Recommit to yourself and your practice. Today, do whatever it takes to find equanimity. And when you arrive, welcome yourself home. Open your heart and awaken again to your true nature. Know that peace, compassion, loving-kindness, wisdom, love, and equanimity are who you are. You may feel anger, resentment, fear or elation, but these emotions do not define you.

Practice loving kindness (metta) meditation, feel true compassion for yourself, surround yourself in light and healing and visualize peace. Be the change, let peace begin right now in your heart. Do the “work”. Let’s come together. We all agree on peace.

“Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me”. BE THE CHANGE.

Aum, peace, shanti, shanty, shanti.

As you go off the mat and into your world let the Light within you, now shining brightly, illuminate the lives of all beings.
For though your practice, the world is transformed.

Namaste

Happy Autumnal Equinox! It's a powerful time to reflect, set intentions for balance, and to let go of that which no longer serves you! Take some time to nurture yourself today!

Attention Blue Lotus students- I am pleased to share that Kym Coco will be teaching a fall session!

The session is a 6-week fall yoga series at her studio in Chico on Mon/Wed evenings from 5:30 or 5:45 to 7pm.

Her goal is to make the series cost effective and beneficial for everyone.
It will be $60 for all 6 weeks, which is $5 per class.
Or, you can pay a $10 drop in fee and come as you please.

For those of you who want to bring friends (who are new to yoga or new to my teaching style), they can pay the $10 for the first class. If they choose to continue, they can put that money towards the total session.

Please contact Kym at kym@joyfulyoga.net or call 530-966-0279 for details.

Yoga student in the star spangled fluorescent triathlon uniform, may I request you resist the dozen heaving sit-ups while we're in seated meditation?

Apparently I'm in a serious relationship! Like all of my students too!

My lovely yoga friend has kindly supported my teaching at a new studio. One recent morning she excitedly told me about a guy she...

How are you celebrating Hanuman's Birthday on Friday? Jai Hanuman!

This coming week presents us with quite a lineup of auspicious events, starting tomorrow morning at 3:11am PDT when the current 23 day Mercury retrograde ends and life returns to some sense of normalcy (fat chance!). Thursday is Holy Thursday, the commemoration of the “Last Supper” between Jesus and...

If you can breathe you can do yoga!

I practice yoga because I recognize that the practice has the power to change my internal energy and that shift in energy radiates outward into all aspects of my life. As a film producer I sometimes work long hours and I am always putting out fires; its yoga that keeps me grounded.

The full moon today at 1:54 pm is in the nakshatra called Ashlesha—the “entwiner”-- symbolized by a coiled snake and ruled by Swarpa, the king of the Nagas (half serpent/half human creatures). Ashlesha is related to the Kundalini Shakti, the latent energy coiled three and a half times around the...
