Other People's Lives

At the heart of what I do is educate, teach, love and serve. All other dimensions stem from those roots. Yoga has been a sutra that threads through the progressive tapestry that continues to be my life. Each day I wake up with a deep sense of gratitude for another breath and another opportunity to teach, to share, to love and to serve. Each term of the yoga education program affirms that this vision is a reality and the personal development and growth that evolves within all of us during these months of training is spectacularly rewarding and beneficial.

This blog is about the stories of others. Other people's lives. We all share similar desires: to be happy, and to be loved. And so, it's simple, then. Be happy. And love.

Share your story, your inspirations, your dreams, your frustrations. It is in the telling that we can begin to ask more questions. And it is in the questioning where lives are transformed.

You say I am repeating Something I have said before. I shall say it again. Shall I say it again? In order to arrive there, To arrive where you are, to get from where you are not, You must go by a way wherein there is no ecstasy. In order to arrive at what you do not know You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance. In order to possess what you do not possess You must go by the way of dispossession. In order to arrive at what you are not you must go through the way in which you are not. And what you do not know is the only thing you know And what you own is what you do not own And where you are is where you are not.

Yoga Education

As I continue teaching the yoga education program, so many realizations and insights and shared experiences with the "trainees" inspire me. All of those who have taken one of the teacher trainings have contributed to my life and my teaching and have helped me grow. And, that really is the process...to be in process and to learn from each other and be in relationship with each other from a place of sincerity and desire to learn from and with each other.

The yoga education programs continue to be a rich soil from which all things amazing, wondrous, beautiful and gracious emerge. A dear English professor in college taught that it was in the questioning where life is lived.

Keep asking the questions. Trust your Self. Believe in the impossible. Look at the sky and the stars. And, above all things: LOVE.

Shanti Shanti Shanti
