All we need is love?

"Love makes life very simple. If we take seriously the idea that love is the only thing that needs to be changed in any situation, life can become quite simple. Life becomes a series of opportunities to learn to love more. We need not concern ourselves with matters like wrong and right because the only thing that is important is how much love we are expressing through our actions. Only we can determine that for ourselves, and there is no need to defend ourselves if we find that little love is being expressed through our actions. That fact becomes the very thing we need to love. Life is learning to love."-----Gay Hendricks Learning To Love Yourself

I began to read this book as part of my own healing journey. My heart warmed as I read this quote. I was just thinking could it really be this simple and my heart replied yes. It was so refreshing to connect to this idea, more importantly I am excited to live it. What would my life look like if I was more loving and if my only response to any given situation was love?

What would my interactions with students be like, what would my cuing be like, what would my practice look like if everything had it's orgin from this love vibe?

There is a quote that says something like "only from the heart can you touch the sky" I am going to see if it's true. 

My love to all of you.

Beginner:

Expanding Your Vision-Arm Balancing With Courage $30

Sometimes in practice we don't do just because we think we can't. In
this workshop we will expand our vision of what our practice is for
and open up to something even larger than what we thought possible.
You can do arm balances and in this workshop you learn how and create
steps to begin your journey into the full poses over time. Bring your
enthusiasm and willingness to expand your vision and potential for
greatness in your practice.

Intermediate

The Freedom of Flight- Arm balance Extravaganza! $30

Take your arm balances to the next level. Feel the joy of discovery as
you build more capacity within your backbody and core to sustain
longer holds, playful sequences, and dynamic arm balancing within your
practice. This is for those who have the basics down and can perform
crow, and can sustain a strong plank and down dog. You will need a
strong foundation to play in this workshop 


Sunday

One Giant Leap--The Path towards Hanumanasana (Splits) $30

When facing the challenge of moving into the splits and other
difficult poses--do your cringe? Do you think "yeah right"! Begin to
cultivate a more friendly and encouraging vibe towards this amazing
opportunity to leap into your own power and expansion. This pose and
the path towards your giant leap is a beautiful evolutionary journey.
The class/workshop will systematically and playfully guide you towards
tools and movements to open up the hips, groins, hamstrings, and
thighs to create space to help you make one giant leap within your
practice. Come find out how to embody the playfulness, power, and
magic of the heroic Hanuman.

Long time

I'm back. It's been a long time since I have felt drawn to write. I have had a period of contraction so to speak and now feel like I am opening and expanding.

I love the quote "Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as bird wings." -- Rumi

Sometimes we need to hit our reboot button and let our system stop running all it's programs. I needed to do just that. I had to many programs running and not enough energy to support it. So now I feel like it's time for me to begin to slowly allow my newly refreshed programs to run again. Hopefully entering into the world with more fire and passion and life to give to all of you.

I look forward to seeing you in class and to writing more on the blog in time.

Peace!

Chicago here I come!

Hope to see you all in chicago!!!!!!

Spanda can be translated to mean vibration, movement, or motion, referring to waves of activity issuing forth from an unseen Source of spontaneous expression. Sahaja means spontaneous natural joy of a divine nature. This practice combining these two naturally arising energies takes us to a playful, vibrant, and ecstatic expression of movement within our practice. Bring your passion for creativity, your desire to open and to be awakened to the sacred pulse within. You can register at moksha
