ahhhhh....

long time...

it has been a long time since i have looked to an "external" guru.... and it's sending me in a whole new amazing shift.  My new baba is Manju Jois!  I will be meeting him in Chicago for a workshop and teacher training.  I will post these next 2mths about my preparations for Chicago.  
The training days will be packed full of Mysore (2hrs) and then 5hrs of additional training.  

The Primary Series or Yoga Chikista (Yoga Healing), followed by the Intermediate Series entitled Nadi Shodhana (Nerve Cleansing) ... I can't wait!  Here is a pic of manju 

chicagooo

I'm headed to an event in Chicago in June.  Can't wait!  This was posted on the studio website

"In the living body, breath is like the fly-wheel of an engine. And the nerve-currents, the thoughts, the desires and mind are like the finer parts of the machinery. When the fly-wheel moves, the whole machinery with all its delicate mechanism moves. When the fly wheel stops, the whole machinery stops. Likewise is the connection between the breathing and the other subtle bodily functions. The most obvious manifestation of the Prana in the body is the motion of the lungs. If this function stops, the the other motions in the body stop." --Swami Narayanananda; Rishikesh, Himalayas, 1950 Swami Narayanananda (1902-1988) is the author of 36 authoritative books on Yoga and spiritual psychology.

Inspiring quote for the day..

"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but by how we react to what happens to us, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life."
