You're playing your life safe if there is nothing at stake

I don't feel quite ready enough for Foundations in Action. I hadn't been to Moksha in 15 days. It wasn't overly hot, so that was good, but it was tough.

It brings up the usual question; why is it that sometimes I can go everyday and sometimes I can't make it once a week?

Why do I forget how good yoga makes me feel from one time to the next?

If Only...

Today was absolutely fantastic... if only I wasn't fighting a cold.

I am not sick yet, but I am so tired. I can feel that cold waiting in the shadows.

Feeling under the weather didn't stop me from stocking up the fridge. We were at the grocery store at 8am and after a quick breakfast, I was cooking up a storm.

In just a few hours, while clothes were in the washer and dryer, I made my Mom's Spaghetti Sauce, Kath's Lasagna and some Tuna Croquettes.

I have 3 more recipes awaiting me for tomorrow. And Moksha, and a brunch.

That's what I call a full weekend.

The only person who can open the door to inner truths and lead you into the light is yourself

My friend C. talked about the possibility of coming with me to yoga this morning. He was supposed to text me before 9:20 if he had decided to come.

I waited.

No text.

I could have chickened out. It was really cold after all.

But I didn't let the disappointment and the cold stop me. I dressed warmly and walked over to Moksha. I was rewarded with a fantastic practice taught by Anna.

Transformation comes out of your willingness to be

The couch was so comfortable last night. I could have stayed there, but I chose to go to Moksha instead. It was a fantastic 90 minutes practice, just lovely and challenging.

New Year Resolutions - 2012

New Year Resolutions - 2012
I won't go on and on about Resolutions and how good or bad they are. In the spirit of being present and pro-active, I will just do it.

Here goes nothing.

1. Leave work at a reasonable time. I love my job, but there are times when I would benefit more from a yoga practice than from an extra hour at work. I just need to set some limits and respect them, for the sake of my health, and my marriage.

2. Create a regular Moksha Yoga practice. I practiced 89 times at Moksha in 2011. This included 2 x 30 Day Challenges which means I haven't really had a regular practice in 2011. Ideally, I would go every other day but I am not sure it is possible. However, if I maintain the above resolution, it could happen.

3. Read one book a month. If less time is spent on the internet, I can attain that goal. Books will include fiction and non-fiction. I will even attempt to blog about the books if they are worth it.

4. Save money every month for an upcoming (undetermined) yoga retreat or training. First take care of credit card, then start saving.

5. Take a ME DAY every month. This could include something fun like my Chistmas Eve morning (Moksha, Brunch and Manicure/Pedicure), a midday massage or a couch and book day. This will all depend on funds and time availability.

6. Be in the best shape ever This should include the following sub-goals :
a) Drink 8 cups of water a day
b) Drink 2 cups of green or herbal tea a day
c) Step, Yoga and other workouts to be done to the fullest
d) Eat clean 80% of the time


Have a fantastic 2012!!
