The universe has a plan

Happy and THANKFUL.... As YOGI'S ... 
we INTEND to  "PRACTICE"  gratitude  daily! 

Today, I must call attention to a dear student.... Her name is Allie, and multiple times a year, she is responsible for an ear to ear grin upon my face!  The universal force that draws people together is AMAZING, it is beautiful and then to feel that connection 9 years later.... POWERFUL! Today, I simply call attention to those forces in our lives, those people in our lives, that bring a smile, warm our hearts, remind us of the goodness on the planet!  Thank you Allie, and to all the beings on the planet that offer light in our lives!

AHIMSA

Non-violence is: compassion and TRUE LOVE...


      You can embrace love, love deeply and be loved,... when our thoughts contain negative responses,... guilt, resentment, shame, disappointment,... we create violence. ( also non-forgiveness, ... pushing away love) .... expecting too much, acting out of fear,...TRUTH AND NON-VIOLENCE are congruent. face your darkness with COMPASSION....How does this apply in Yoga?...As Yogi's, we practice ahimsa ( non-harming)...We can do this in a multitude of ways,....on the mat and off....self love is the premise here....moving with intention, intentional respect. Awareness is a STRONG force....

This is "developed" in the practice...


I bring the word, ... the beautiful sanskrit word, AHIMSA into the moment,...as a gentle reminder....to practice compassion, non-harming ( for yourself and others),...practice love,... in all that you do. 



Have AWARENESS of what you do and how you do it,.. how it affects your own body and the world around you.

Gandhi's quotes. " The greatness of a nation and it's moral progress can be judged by the way it's animals are treated" ....and "Be the change you want to see in the world" For me, the amazing choice to be a plant based/VEGAN feels right.... We as people, make choices that shape our existence. THOUGHTS becoming WORDS,... words develop into ACTION! We speak our thoughts with what we DO AND WHO WE ARE........We ARE what we eat.
Peace and love...to ALL BEINGS,...gratitude to mother earth, father sun, sister moon, brother ocean, air, fire, space......


I am grateful... I am thankful...

RAINY on the outside, SUNNY on the inside

Rainy on the outside, sunny on the inside!☔🌞
Happy Halloween! 🎃
Thursdays are busy.  I teach 3 Yoga classes to 3 separate groups within the same organization at different locations! 😜 It is wonderful, crazy, a total challenge.....Then I see a few massage clients as well as the regular, pick up my son,.. take him to his activities, make an amazing vegan dinner, enjoy family evening rituals with him ( talks about our day, laughing, etc. ) then take a bath, chat with my special someone ( see below) and read before bed. I am an early riser, ( meditation and mate’ in the morning) so I try to get to bed before the cycles of healing and rejuvenation kick in ( more on that later when we talk about digestion... ). I love my work: I LEARN more about people, el mundo and MYSELF each day in so many WAYS!  BE FOREWARNED...I am completely experimenting with the blogging so,... here goes, occasionally, I think in Spanish and/or Italian, therefore, this is a warning that a random world from a language OTHER than English could be inserted to the blog post,...at any given (time)TIEMPO!  I am not certain if I am writing this for you or me, but what I DO know is that I have learned, over time, that if I (you), do things that make MY heart feel good things with good intention... these things have the best outcome!
I will most likely have stories to share that involve my son,... but this is all new to me and we ( my son and I) have been very private and not on social media, and so forth... but I have felt an impulse for a very long time to SHARE ... thoughts, experiences, concerns, life lessons with those who would like to know...so, this is the venue where these things will begin to evolve and grow.  I am interested in hearing from readers if there is specific content you would like to read about or experiences you would like more information on or basic information from subjects in which I could bring light.
I personally think storytelling is an AMAZING way to connect and share so,... some will be stories,.. I can not promise things will be concise and organized BUT,  that being said,... things could shape on as we go! ....flaws and all!

I will also bring into the mix Poseidon, our dearly loved quadruped....who, recently has been renamed: Procrastination...because I have been walking him ALOT lately and quite a few times,.. I have walked him,... inSTEAD of staying focused on a task,... telling myself I needed a breath and to connect with nature,.. these are TRUE,..but staying on task at times, can be a challenge for this Sanguine ( with a lil choleric) AQUARIAN!  I like to listen to YouTube talks or Ted talks while I walk Poe ( formentioned fuzzy friend).  I will PROBABLY share some of this unsightful chitchat as I move along with my speedy fingers.

SO,..RAINY ON THE OUTSIDE, sunny on the INSIDE,.. is because it is POURING today,.. monsoon style! Whew! And it is HALLOWEEN!🎃 SUNNY on the inside is because I am all SMILES today... It’s a GOOD day! The students in my first class today were very open and fun and participated,.. we laughed, smiled and joked... I love making people happy and love it when I receive of course as well!  This sunny attitude has stayed in my heart all day... Wanna know more about how to have that? ...... ok, then STAY TUNED!
Thanks lots for reading!
Peace, love and GUACAMOLE! 🌞☔🎃

My Very First Blog Post - My Yoga Tree Learning

Hello Everyone!
As we ramp up our new website, create our social media channels and really begin to dive into this vast technological realm; we have to ask ourselves the question of why?

My first thoughts are to help people and share! And secondly, it's been a lifelong dream to outwardly communicate my thoughts on Yoga, Yoga Training, Education, Food and overall Mind/Body Health to the masses. As the opportunity arose to embark on such a venture, I jumped in to give it a wholehearted try.

Wish me luck! Subscribe to our channels of your preference, join in on the classes and please join in on the conversation.

Here we go!

YOGA. REVERENCE,... & Things working out

 Things have a way of working out. 💚🙏 As much as we stress and toil over what happens around us and "to us"... We can really get...
