“Forget what others think of you, forget the future goal of achievement; arrive instead in this body/mind, attending to this present moment. This is the whole of practice.”.

Greetings Dear Yoga Students, 

How often do we perform tasks, try to achieve or be something special in order to receive praise, boost our ego or stand out among our people?  We must remember that the intention of showing up, doing our best and allowing spirit to work through us is all we need to do. Being humble is not a sign of weakness, it is really a sign of great strength, stability and courage. Humility is to except the divine plan for your life, which is simply to open up to your unique gifts and use them to enrich those who cross your path in your unique situations.  

Seek not to be commended in a worldly way but try to find that beautiful flow of muditha.  Muditha is achieved by doing what you love to do in your unique humble way  and in the doing you naturally spread peace, love and joy to others creating an energy that flows right back to you and ultimately becomes reward enough.  Feeling good by doing good in the present moment.  Forget what others think, focus instead on arriving where you are in the flow of your life.    This is your work, this is the whole purpose of practice:  to arrive, simply to arrive here and now….

Greetings dear yoga students,

The practice of Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of devotion.  Every pose we take, every breath we inhale, every intention and action is practiced as devotion to the divine which lives both inside and outside you.  The deeper we penetrate our physical world through our asana practice, we realize the divine lives in all things physical and that the physical lives in all things spiritual.  The bhakti yogi seeks more than anything to develop a “direct, intense, personal relationship with the divine or simply with life itself”. 

There are countless ways to practice Bhakti yoga.  Chanting spiritual mantras,  praying with beads, gardening in the earth’s soil, relishing the light in a loved ones eyes, playing with a child or finding compassion in your heart when it is needed most are all postures we can take to express our devotion to the divine forces that are all around us.  We can also come to our practice with dedication and reverence for this ancient science which, in turn, enables us to transform our own yoga mat into a sacred space where we come to be in the presence of the divine that is both inside, outside and in all things.
