I feel blessed. This past weekend was one of the most powerful experiences I’ve ever had teaching Yoga. I taught a FREE Prana Flow Yoga Class, sponsored by lululemon athletica, at the Lofts at Mockingbird Station in downtown Dallas. There were at least 30 people in attendance for the class, which took place next to the pool on the rooftop deck overlooking the Dallas skyline. (I will post an actual photo of the event once I have one to share…lululemon took some awesome pics!) It was an incredibly inspiring location. We meditated and communed with Cosmic Consciousness, surfed on our Yoga mats, balanced in Airplane Pose holding hands, (with our eyes closed!) around the perimeter of the pool AND experienced the energizing essence of the Infinite Source with a true connection to community. Oh, and the whole class, give or take a couple of songs, was set to some of Bob Marley’s greatest tunes…
We recited this mantra silently to ourselve with the word that resontaed most deeply for each of us. Such as:
Come, Father, come.
Come, Peace, come.
Come, Joy, come
Come, Consciousness, come.
Come, Light, come.
And, we gave thanks, as we sat in meditation, silently reciting…Thank You. I felt energetically transformed from the experience. When class completed it felt as though I was seeing the world with new eyes. I am so grateful to all of you who joined me and for offering your Presence and Intention to this blessed experience. I truly felt the Presence with us, not only of the One, but I literally felt the Spirit of Bob Marley with us, as well. I have no doubt his Energy was present there.
So, I will be offering another FREE class on Saturday, June 28th, as well. This will be at another great location in Dallas. Also, I recently sent out the True Yoga Newsletter so if you would like to receive it, please sign up for it online here.
In less than a month, I will be attending another Yoga training with Shiva Rea. Prior to my training, which begins July 6th, I will be spending a few days at Paramahansa Yogananda’s Ashram and Hermitage in Encinitas, California. I have never been on a silent meditation retreat before and am really looking forward to this incredible experience. This is where Yogananda lived and wrote his highly-acclaimed book, Autobiography of a Yogi. I feel so blessed to be able to have this opportunity. I have heard that it is one of the most powerful experiences imaginable to get to feel the energy which eminates from his living space.
“You may be surprised at what seclusion with God will do for your mind, body, and soul…. Through the portals of silence the healing sun of wisdom and peace will shine upon you.”

I’ll be back to post before I head out of town this weekend for a little relaxation and restoration in beautiful Rosemary Beach, Florida.
