Honest Seeing

Yoga requires HONESTY. Honest seeing and honest action.  This means accepting ourselves where we are. Not pretending. Not judging ourselves. 

When I initially looked at this picture my first thought was "Oh God! Look at my rolls! I can't post this." I posted it anyway, and I'm glad that I did, because this picture is a reminder to me of two very important things -- Honesty and Love. 

Seeing honestly what is inside and out, without judging, and taking honest actions to move with compassion in the directions that honor our highest Self --- all skills that are vital to true health and well-being. They are cultivated through consistent effort, sometimes sweat, and often tears. 

This is the real work, and it happens when we recognize ourselves as WORTHY and WHOLE and commit to unconditionally LOVING ourselves NO MATTER WHAT. 

It's a practice!!! I am learning to love myself the way I deserve to be loved -- unconditionally, with all of my imperfections. 💫💜💫

Gratitude Saturday!!

I am extremely GRATEFUL for the opportunity to share and teach YOGA every Saturday at Lander Valley Farmer's Market!! Not only is it a beautiful bustling of wonderful people bringing their hard work and heartfelt creations to share, but the atmosphere is exciting and joyous, and it's just simply a lovely place to BE! I am also grateful for the sweet, green, slightly sunny, but mostly shaded circle of trees where we have the pleasure of holding our Sacred Space for Yoga. This last Saturday there were four courageous yogis who showed up to practice with me, to tap in and dive deeper into themselves. I am most grateful to them for their open, receptive hearts! 💜And it was INCREDIBLE to be able to teach and practice in that amazing setting while all the time the melodious music of Thunder and Rain were thrifting through the air! 🎶

See you next Saturday, Lander!! Remember, there are two opportunities to practice yoga with me throughout the week now -- Tuesdays @ 6:30pm at Sacred Space Yoga (address in profile) AND Saturdays @ 10am in City Park 🌲 Be well 🌟 Namaste 🙏🏻
