India?!

To go to India or not?!  I am contemplating a trip to India at the end of this year to do my 500 hour teacher training.  My teacher from last year's 200 hour training in Costa Rica is doing an amazing trip at the end of this year to India.  The first 2 weeks in Northern India and the second 2 weeks in Southern India.  There is a strong desire in me to go see this country where yoga all started and also to share in another training while surrounded with like-minded people.  So much to think about!  Will this trip fit into my life?  Where is my life headed?  How will I afford this adventure?  But I feel like this is one of those once in a lifetime moments....

Springing Back to Action

I am in the mood for spring!  Currently on my 14 day spring cleanse, which I started this past Monday.  Cleanses are a great way to come back in tune with my body and pay attention to how I feed it.  I always find that it promotes more time in the kitchen making healthy meals, instead of ordering out or convenience foods.  I have to admit winter has been a slippery slope for me, and not the kind with skis attached to my feet.  I have been indulging and putting on a little extra layer of warmth....so time to get back to reality and healthy eating!  I haven't been on my mat enough lately too.  The salon has been very busy, so I still haven't figured out the best way to balance my life the way I want to.  Crossing my fingers that spring will be different for me.  Spent some time on my mat tonight, stretching-breathing-reflecting.  Definitely felt great!  Hoping that more yoga will find its way into my life soon. 

I have had the pleasure of sharing yoga with 3 wide-eyed 4 year olds.  It's wonderful to see them explore the poses and the laughter that they have with each move.  If only we could all capture that child inside us, see the world with such wonder & enjoyment.  To not be jaded, instead still be open.  It's such a beautiful thing to watch children that age just doing whatever strikes them at the moment, not a care in the world about what others will think.  It's a reminder to let go and just be free to experience life!



 Some exciting things coming up:

March 31st Ana Forest workshop at Back Bay Yoga with my Costa Rica YTT training buddy Aaron!

April 12-14 Prenatal Yoga Teacher certification weekend at Back Bay Yoga


Happy Spring!!!  Hope we are done with the white stuff and that sunny skies are upon us!  Be well!
