Meet Gaby. She’s been practicing yoga for 15 years. Last month something shifted inside of her and she was able to bind on both sides of Marichyasna D by herself. The joy I felt inside witnessing her accomplishment is what fuels me as a teacher. The bind itself means little but the story of what led to it warms my heart. Years of consistent practice, returning over and over again to her mat to cultivate this relationship with herself. I applaud your dedication Gaby. You’re a true inspiration to me and I’m grateful you make our Dallas community a better place with your loving presence and easy smile. 👏 🙏 #ashtanga #marichyasanad #perseverance #inspiration #gratitude #badasswomen

Vande Gurunam Charanavinde

“I bow to lotus feet of the gurus who have come before me” (loosely translated)

15 years ago I serendipitously walked into this man’s photography studio and experienced my first yoga class. I just so happened to also walk into my first 12 step meeting that very same day. I didn’t stay sober then and I didn’t maintain a consistent yoga practice by any means at that time but the seeds of both were sufficiently planted and would take root in the season to come.
I generally never know what role a person, situation or circumstance is playing in my life until I look back. In retrospect, Hal was one of my first teachers or gurus in that he helped usher light into my life dispelling my personal darkness. He opened his studio for yoga, among other things, to be practiced there because he is a helper, a space holder, an encourager, a true cosmic cheerleader for others to begin their process of rising, discovering their latent talents and thriving as awakened versions of themselves. He played this role for me and continues to do so when I’m need a reminder of who I am, where I’ve come from and what I have to offer the world.
So, it was a great honor to have him come in the Shala today and experience what has grown from a seed he helped to lovingly plant and nurture all those year ago.
With endless gratitude, I bow to his feet. 🙏

Happy Diwali! Feeling grateful for the love and support of the community today. Last night we shared a meal on the patio at @radhakalachandji temple and I was reminded that thru my own darkness of 20/2021, these kind souls kept candles burning for me. They held space for me even when I wasn’t aware, they lent ears and shoulders when my heart and head were heavy, and most often, they lovingly reminded me to stay steady and just keep breathing. I couldn’t have asked for better group of folks to share the path with. 🙏 🪔

Today we celebrate Dai. She bound for the first time in Baddha Padmasana last week and is a joyful, bright light in our community. Great job on staying consistent in your practice, Dai. 🙏🙌

“My love of Ashtanga started 15 yrs ago. Being a yoga teacher I’ve practice many styles of yoga but Ashtanga was my first true love. I started going to the Shala off and on about 3 years ago when we moved to DFW- it’s tough since we live south side. When DAYS started virtual classes is when I became consistent with Ashtanga. My many injuries (knee, shoulders, hand) set me back but I find myself right back on the mat doing what I can. It keeps calling me!”

One of the queen bee’s of our dallas ashtanga community, Lisa Hodge sent this pic of her practice space yesterday while on holiday in Indiana. In the garage, next to a lawnmower, no wifi or internet, and a stack of books for props. Some folks you can’t talk into practice and some you can’t talk out of it. Lisa, as always, we salute you.
