A shout out to inspiration!!!

Not sure where to begin....this has been a year so far...

I still have not found a yoga teacher.  More and more I really miss a couple of the excellent teachers I have had.  The first was in Vancouver in 1998 at a community center I don't remember her name but I remember her style.  My favourite song of Deva Premal is still purnamedah  which always reminds me of the teacher I had at the Y.  His class was Sunday mornings and I always felt better for it, even the day I cried through the entire class.  Another memorable teacher was in Guelph where I took my first 100 hours of yoga teacher training.   Her walking meditations changed meditation for me. It was money well spent and a memory I am grateful for.  The teacher I had in Nicaragua for 500 hours is the one I got the tongue scraper, blue pendulum, mala beads and journaling habit from.  She taught me alot....

I am finally connecting in a meaningful way with who I am, through my personal journey with yoga, ayurveda, reiki and the energy of the universe.

Reuniting recently with Reiki has been wonderful.  I have missed that meditative exchange of pure energy.  I also recently took my Reiki level 2 and it was inspiring all over again.

At the beginning of the year I felt like my journey had stalled, but now my daily practice is thriving in unconventional ways.  I look forward to my morning routine which is a combination of yoga, mantra, ayurveda and anything else that strikes me that morning.  Today it was a yoga inspired free style dance to the gayatri mantra by Deva Premal.   I also credit this growth with some new women who have come into my life .  I am looking forward to moving forward with new habits and ways of life while honoring the ancient teachings I am studying.

This month I will be holding two workshops...
The first will be on cooking from the book The Everyday Ayurveda Cookbook.  It will be a group cook of a full meal that we will share after...May 12
The other is a book club and it is my way of continuing my education and yours, paid for by donation or snack.... It means at the very least we read a yoga, ayurveda or energy inspired book a month and share our thoughts on it.  This months book is Energy Healing and we will also try some of the exercises in it.. May 25.

700 Hours of Learning....start now!

Here goes I am embarking on a two year adventure into myself and the world around me through yoga, massage, coaching and other modalities.  With this journey comes a great reading list and journaling.  This is not something I have ever been able to keep up, with much regularity, as you can see from my posts here.....lol One day I may succeed as I continue to practice for the next two years. I have received the reading list and am happy to have just finished Yoga Sequencing:  Designing Transformative Yoga Classes by Mark Stephens.  This book was suggested to me and for obvious reason, it is incredibly informative.  As a beginning yoga teacher it provided great pictures and foundations for infinite classes that I am now able to create.  It will continue to be on my bookshelf as an excellent reference,and I could reread it still getting useful information a second or third time.  Now I will delve further into this genre of reading with Yoga Anatomy by L...

My Cup O Tea

Over the years I have become a fan of tea.  My favourites are non-caffeine.  Green Teas, herbal teas and rooibus.  Almost any loose leaf tea will do.  I once got chamomile tea from a friends parents and it was really just a whole baggie of chamomile flowers.....it was from a place in Sarnia, Ontario but I am not sure exactly where.  It just seems so much fresher when you can recognize it by sight.... In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....
