Hangout!

I am back in rainy NYC after going to the Gulf Shores for the Hangout festival, which was amazing.

On Saturday and Sunday we woke up early and assisted in Kelly's class. Brave yogis and yoginis made it out to practice in the yummy sunshine. I even got to demo the class on Sunday, and boy am I sore! Garth Stevenson provided us with beautiful tunes. It was just beautiful!

The festival itself was very well organized, clean, and vast. The crowd was very hippy and happy. There was not one arrest made during the festival. People were there to basically have fun! I discovered a band called The Lumineers, and saw the Red Hot Chili peppers. It was madness. And I am grateful!

Retreats!

My lovely friend and amazing teacher Joanna Benevides is featured at North End Yoga's 2013 retreat to Tulum!

This gives you plenty of time to save and make it happen...

If you have not been to Tulum, you are truly missing out.  Tulum, which means "The land of the turtles" truly is paradise; the beach as blue as a pool,  the sand bright and white, and huge turtles everywhere.  The ruins are magical, and the food is, well, Mexican!!!  I call it paradise with breakfast tacos.  It can't get any better than that.

Beautiful Video!

The amazing Pete Longworth created this video of my favorite studio (to teach and practice).  I make a cameo towards the end :)

Revised schedule

Hi All!

I feel very lucky for this weekend I get to go and support my teacher Kelly Morris at the Hangout Festival in Alabama!  I also celebrate my birthday on Saturday, so it should be great!

I am also going away next week to support my sister who graduates from law school, so I am away the latter part of the week.  Please check the schedule below for an updated schedule.  Also, check Go Yoga's calendar for their schedule is amended next weekend for the holiday.

Have a safe and fun weekend!

Your Teachers, and common sense

A Lama, or teacher, tells 3 of his students to go rob a bank. Two of them go and rob it, no questions asked. The third one tells his Lama that he didn't feel it was correct, so he didn't. The Lama then tells all three students that only one student passed the test, the one that questioned the Lama and didn't rob the bank.

Totally makes sense, right?

Whenever one practices yoga asana, although your teacher may tell you to do something, a hard pose such as an arm balance, if it doesn't feel right, why do it? If you don't understand it, why put yourself in danger?

It's the same with a spiritual practice. If it doesn't make sense to you, why follow it?

We all have that voice inside of us, our intuition, and it is so important to follow and honor it.

Ask questions, study, seek answers. Follow your gut.

Love,

Patricia
