Finding a Guru

Gurus around us

One should never miss an opportunity to find a guru.  As a matter of fact, one should think of one person a day and make them their guru for the day.  It's like giving them a personal birthday in your head.  Try it.  

For example, my guru today is the newspaper woman of the 51st and lex station.  She gives away the AM new york free newspaper like she is giving you the winning lottery ticket.  She gives you a smile, and wishes you a nice day.  One would never know that she is cold, has problems at home, or whatever.  She smiles and brightens your day with a free newspaper.  She is my guru today.

Other days, your gurus can be individuals such as homeless people, sick people, or the boss that gets on your nerves.  Think about it, how much does every one around you teach you?  Are you grossed out by the homeless person?  How do you know how they got there?  what does that type of judgement say about you, and where the hell is it coming from?  Not a good place.  Your homeless guru just taught you that.  The boss that gets on your nerves, our other example, give him a smile for every time he pisses you off.  Give him a smile and see what that teaches you.  

There are gurus all around us.  

Teaching Sched

Heya lovelies!

I have finally gotten my sh*t together from the madness of my sister's wedding.  I think I came back traumatized from all the madness of the wedding.  I can know post, do homeworks and work on my classes peacefully.

My teaching schedule has not changed, but I thought I would post again-

Monday I'm at Viva all day- 10:30, 12:15 and 7:15
Wednesday I'm at quick fitness at 7:00 am, 7 pm at Guilded Studios (email me if you'd like to attend)
Thursday at Sangha Yoga Shala
Friday at Quick Fitness- 7:00 pm
Saturday Viva Vinyasa at 12:15
Sunday at 10:00 am Quick Fitness.

I am no longer teaching the 7:00 am on Mondays at Quick Fitness.

ALSO, I will be teaching at Lululemon this Saturday morning!  Please join me in Union Square bright and early, 8:45 am :)

Hope everyone has an amazing Valentines Day!

THE program

The Conquering Lion Teacher Training program just got so good, check out the amazing staff!

Yoga at Guilded Studios

I may have mentioned that I am now teaching a semi-private class at the Guilded Studios in the Lower East Side, right by the New Museum.  The classes take place on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm, bring your own mat, and suggested donation is $10 per person.

If you are interested in attending, please send me an email and I will add you to the mailing list.  It's a lovely space with lovely peeps.

Stay warm dearest ones!

Wanna try yoga?

Have you been wanting to try yoga but are utterly intimated? I've been there- all yogis have been there. After all, where do you start and how do you not feel shitty about it?

Yoga is like trying anything for the first time. On the first day of college, we all hated it, but by the end, we were really used to it, knew what to expect.  The first day I grabbed a guitar I felt like a monkey with a toy.  The first day I surfed I drank more water than a college freshman drinks cheap beer.  The beginning of a new relationship your butterflies can get the best of you.   The beginning of anything is just hard!

Yoga, at first, can feel a little humiliating. After all, everyone is bending over in front of you, but you are really supposed to be looking for a better you, a calmer mind, etc.  This connection takes a while to put it together.   This article is a simple explanation of what you're supposed to feel like.

Stop thinking about starting and just go get your yoga on!
