Letting go..

Woke up at 4:30am!! So many details in my life to take care of so that I can fully be in the experince..I have to really allow myself the gift of being open. And let go of my control for my family, the center and my comforts in routine..scary stuff to admit..but my practice now!

The path of yoga therapy is one of many sacrifices and continous challenges. Yet, it is filled with endless growth.  The joy is in the learning! I will be experiencing what many of my collegues in the program have had the grace of tasting. I, too, will finally have the experience. As I leave, I have no agenda or expectation. Except, I do know it is well over 100 degrees and HUMID. (So much for my curly hair!) No, I am going into the doorway of being a full student and trusting that life is unfolding as it should on this path. Whatever I bring back will be richer and deeper because I honored the commitment, and said yes to the journey. I did that in 1995 when I arrived in the Midwest. I trusted that teaching yoga was my dhrama, and that I had no choice except listen to what I was feeling and share this passion. This passion has not lessened in these many years. In fact, YAF is now in our 14th year!!  And yet, letting go is the my true learning now. To let go of my daily routine, my constant schedule, and my family duties. To allow space for the magic to grow.
