Hello friends:) I have once again fallen off the face of blog land. I have been in a huge transition in my life, challenging yet lovely. I have moved in the past couple weeks, I have been a bit hormonal and eating like shit and since May 1st has begun, I have really worked hard at getting back into the flow of things.
So I am finally back to a relaxed sense of mind. I ran about 6 miles, 30 mins of weights and taught/took an hour of yoga yesterday. Today I did a running/TRX workout and tonight I’m taking a power yoga class and eating a lot better. I shall be getting back to normal but honest to goodness the last MONTH I have been eating sugar and carbs in replace of my feelings.
I wish that I would have wrote about my Art of Assisting experience when it happened! It was during the Easter weekend so now it just feels like old news to talk about but it was amazing. It’s another program from Baron Baptiste(the yoga training I went through) and it was just a complete eye opener. It was a 3 day long “assisting” training. An intense training on how to properly and confidently assist all poses in your yoga class. I did work on a lot of men in the training and it was awesome because most my comments post-assist were: “Wow I didn’t expect you to be that strong in your assist but you were right on”.
I’m a lot stronger than my little frame might portray:) Only 5’3″ but full of strength! Anyway what I took from that training in the larger scheme of things was the importance of CONNECTION. When we look people into the eyes, when we are authentic with our words, when we show true emotions, when we truly LOVE others…we create connection….And in that connection creates EMPOWERMENT. And when we become empowered, we have the opportunity to empower others.
That is my newest intention for my life. Connection. Empowerment….I say this again and again day in and day out to just throw it out into the universe. It’s amazing how much your life will change when you decide what you want most: and then make small daily steps to fulfill that. Today I have strong connection with those I love and through my teaching yoga, and through my love for others I create empowerment.
