A special article for yoga teachers, yoga therapists, or students who want to see themselves {and their minds} objectively and structure their yoga sequences accordingly. I hope this information supports your practice, feel free to share it!
Curious what a day in my life (the life of a yoga therapist, family breadwinner and mama) looks like? Kate Connell of "Yoga and the Yoga Mat", asked that of several Private Yoga Teachers, and shared a voyeur's dream on her blog... a peek into a regular ol' awesome day! I'm so grateful that I get to do what I love, and that over the years I have been able to also make self-care and family a priority in my daily life. This will be especially interesting for other {and aspiring} Yoga Therapists, Mamapreneur's and Yoga Teachers in Training. Read the blog here.

I always think of your level as a yogi more in terms of your mental state than your physical prowess... because it's true! If you've ever been around an enlightened being... you know in your soul that the yogic state has NOTHING to do with bending into a pretzel. For an authority on this topic let's look back (waaaay back) to the ancient text Śiva Saṃhitā*. It offers some powerful insight that coincides with what I've noticed over the years. Note that some words in classic texts can be extreme or hyperbolic - this is called arthavāda - and it's actually meant to trigger shock to help us learn and remember a point! The language meant to shine the light of awareness on our inner attitudes, so that we may mature as yogis. We might also keep in mind that not all of us start as beginners (in terms of internal mind set)... or that we may bounce around at different times of life, depending on our internal or external circumstances. Read on... Check out this recorded guided awareness for your home practice! I'd love to read your comments here or on Facebook please share this gift with your loved ones, your family, your co-workers - we could all use a little more LOVE and RELAXATION!
