Haven’t posted on here for a very long time! I’ve been so busy with school and life in general. I’ve updated my flickr, mostly for a scholarship view that is coming up but if you’d care to see what I’m working on take a look!

YogaTeaching!

I am so excited to share that I am about to begin my 225 YogaTeacher Training at Spynga  flows studio! It feels so good to have found a solid and supportive community here in Cleveland. Spynga is based out of Toronto and has a unique blend of cycling & yoga, meditation, and weight training classes. Look into their site!

Shanti… xoxo

cant help myself, this woman has so much for our ears

Seane Corn

I don’t believe that I have ever met more of an inspiration in my life. Please read a bit of her story on how she began practicing yoga. I get tears in my eyes every time I read/listen about her.

This

summer is winding down as I just got back to Cleveland last night. It would of been fantastic to keep going but a quick pause in my life for school shouldn’t be all that bad. The weather is chilly, which was a great surprised as I spent a lot of time groaning to my friends in the perfect weather of California, and green sunshine of Eugene about the unbearable humidity streaming from the gnarly Cleveland atmosphere.

This summer proved to be greater than I could have imagined. Among a life long list of inspirations, India taught me forgiveness, impermanence, and acceptance. All of this helped me travel around the states with the gift of new eyes towards old environments and loved ones. Not all was known, as there was much that was new. Eight hundred feet into the New Mexican ground, the inspiring words and practice of Sean Corn, the taste of so much love, and an unbelievably, indescribable something that will last a lifetime: the depths of an eighteen month old’s beautiful brown eyes. I feel like I have been refueled. Time to shed light on this coming school year with a new perspective.

I’m now back in Santa Cruz from an amazing four days in Squaw valley for the Wanderlust festival! I will share how incredible and challenging the time was after I arrive in Eugene in a couple of days. I want to share a link for Seane Corn to inspire the “Off the Mat into the World” cause. Also, after taking her Detox Vinyasa flow class the last day of our festival I cried like a baby. I feel very lucky that I was able to experience her presence and I hope you enjoy as much as I do.

This is Seane speaking at Wanderlust 2011. If you’re inclined to hear more she has a website with free yoga instruction and more about her entrance on the yoga path. Marissa and I have been resting our sore bodies and listening to all we can!

“The person practising svadhyaya (self observation) reads his own book of life, at the same time that he writes and revises it. There is a change in his outlook on life. He starts to realise that all creation is meant for bhakti (adoration) rather than for bhoga (enjoyment), that all creation is divine, that there is divinity within himslef and that the energy which moves him is the same that moves the entire universe. “

From the introduction of Light on Yoga by B.K.S. Iyengar. It is something like the yoga bible… I highly recommend it!
