Nothing like a little Gypsy Punk

Just a little taste of some music I love.......  If you have an aversion to rowdy ridiculous and sometimes offensive music or if you would like to continue to think of me as just a calm yoga instructor please do not click on the link below...... You have been warned!

Now to get down to business!  I feel like Phuket has just been waiting for us.  Things are falling into place easily, like a click click click snap "There you go, you now have your perfect life!"  Thank me by committing to it says the Universe.  Sometimes I say I will, other time I hesitate.

It looks like I am destined to be a Yoga Teacher...  Which is alright with me!  I like the idea, in fact I love the idea.

You see, 11 years ago I stepped into an un-used room popped in a yoga vhs (Yoga for weight loss ad yes VHS), and 45 minutes later walked out saying I want to do that FOREVER!!!!!!  And now 11 years later I have moved across the world to teach English as a second Language and instead found a job teaching yoga.  Not just any old yoga teaching job, the most incredible one for me.  Some things are destiny.

Things are difficult when you wander the world and explore different realms, but yoga is what makes it easy for me.  I know it, I hear it when I am teaching, I commit to it again and again.  It is my own personal cabana boy.  When I am feeling down it makes me feel sexy.  When I am over the rest of the world and I can listen to my breath and move it reminds me of personal responsibility.  When I want to be alone, it waits for me to come to it.  It gives me strength.

I recently figured out why I teach.....  seriously!  4 years into it and I finally know!  Because here is my philosophy on life, not just yoga:

If you can align your body in your poses you can align your ideals to your life.  If you can engage the muscles to support your poses then you can fully engage in your life and be supported.  If you can release the tension in your muscles and learn to let go then you can let go of all that which no longer serves you.  This list it goes on and on.  It breaks down to everything is everything.


This is also why I like to travel, because I love people, I am fascinated by the cultures, by the differences, by the tendencies..... and people show heir tendencies in everything that they do.  In their posture, their poses, their conversations, their eating habits, their humor...... and all of it is beautiful!

I am so thankful for my opportunities, I am so thankful for the people I know, and I am so thankful for this life.  And for some unknown reason I attribute a lot of it to when I stepped on my yoga mat and plugged in that first VHS.  It is all about awareness I think, and their are many ways to become aware of yourself.
