The silence is broken: An Update

I'm back to chat/blog my way through my existence. Regrouping for the next two months of the second module of  500 hr. advanced yoga teacher training. I have some homework to turn in. A brief paper on the Gita, well, not the whole thing! More like a study guide or outline questions and insights. The advanced pranayama (breathwork) hasn't quite become ritual, yet almost daily...I have had a few missed days...I am scheduled to receive a personal mantra for meditation and plan to use this mantra while I knit one item just to test a little theory of mine...can you guess what a knitted garment would feel like if its intention and hours of creation were devoted to a single  mantra of peace, love, abundance, ect.(not to mention the benefits of the practice the knitter would receive in the process) Imagine it...I been dreaming about it......
One way to blend my practices together...:>

So my next project on raverly....om knit.

My tummy is full, but I am still striking a yoga pose

Well, three months has pasted....I have two jobs now. I am the primary yoga teacher at Tullius Chiropractic & Pilates Center and the Ashtanga, Family yoga teacher at Yoga Village Studio . Of course, I am doing my Thai Massage thing at both places once my permits go through at the end of the month. The Yoga Village studio is off to your right, I'm posing in wheel...nice place;>

P has visited for a week, a glorious week of hiking and walking along the beach at sunset. This pic is from Pirates Cove. Hmmm-I miss P.

In a few weeks, I will be hopping a train to Washington for my Cella intensive with Jade and my cella sisters. I can't believe it.

Can you imagine?

This photo was actually me about five years ago and the only head shot I could find for a day spa ad. I hope i can look this good after my sadd's goes dorment in the cali-sunshine. Yes. I am now living in the green state. Instead of snow this is the rainy season, but warmer than Minnesota, I can't complain one bit., yet I do see humor in the local California residents complaining about the cold.

P plane left today and he is back in our home with the cats missing me. P vows to call every night until he can come move out for good.

Our road trip was very adventurous. From the plains through the mountains through the desert and back to the rocky mountains near the ocean, so beautiful. My car met the grave in Utah and lucky after being stuck in the Ruby Inn resort for a night. We were able to get a rental car for the rest of the 12 hour drive. P's dad almost flew out to Salt Lake City, rented a car and picked us up. We made Christmas dinner with the family alive, a bit tried and grateful to everyone who helped us get here.

I am currently working out my yoga, bellydancing classes and Thai yoga massage hours with each of my employers and updating my website, Indigo Moon Yoga.

Stillness on the water...

Spring is in the rainy air and clings to the the new plants breaking the earth surface. The seed of my yoga studio is breaking the surface as well. The valiance paperwork is in the works and the garage layout has been selected. The Indigo Moon Yoga studio will be coming into existence.

Many other opportunities have been popping up into my life: choreographing a local musical, more private yoga clients, Dalai Lama 3-day conference and the bellydancing troupe is working toward performing publicly in local parades and fairs. Check out my website for the latest information.
Despite the lack on sun, I am grateful the rainfall is feeding the earth. My garden and the farmers need the weather to pull out of drought. The extremes of the weather really speak to the environmentalist activist. I seem to forget how wet and humid the season can get, and how global warming is affecting everything. The extreme cold/hot days seems to be more frequent. I wish the greater portion of society will to take action to save the environment for the generations to come.

Namaste,

Alysha
