Rise Up!

Hi everyone! I am back from my annual trip to my native state of Colorado. I honestly can’t say that I am happy to be back in Arkansas, but I am feeling grateful and content. Why you ask? In yoga we talk about that place of connection, where we find stillness within our breath and we can obtain a sense of peace and calmness. It is a wonderful moment to be in and it isn’t an easy place to find. But be patient, it will come…and it will go… and it will come back again. Oh how the pendulum swings! For me, I find it most often when I am in my birthplace. Go figure, right?! Well, the goal isn’t to go to a physical place to to find it, the goal is to be able to find this sense of serenity anywhere; but to know what it feels like? Oh, what a blissful feeling it is.

While in Colorado, I practiced at several studios and I LOVED everything about them. What I can never get enough of is learning and practicing and most of all sharing. What I learn and practice, I bring back to share it with you beautiful humans. So stick with me, we are in this together.

Rest assured, I will never stop learning and teaching from a place of integrity and love. That you can be certain. So this place of serenity and calmness, we usually journey there in Savasana (the most important part of practice.)

If there is one takeaway from me it is this:

Make time for Savasana …

As I write this, a song comes on and you will not believe what the name of it is… RISE UP…. I’m serious!! 

“I will rise up, in spite of the ache. I will rise up 1000 times again.” 

Talk about the universe working in mysterious ways and synchronicity.

You know that saying – SILENT and LISTEN – spelled with the same letters. There are no coincidences. The universe speaks to us when we get silent and listen. Try it. See what happens.
