Namaste friends…

Thank you for staying connected to the True Yoga Blog even though I haven’t been able to write as much recently.  Things have been so busy.  I’m sure for us all.  Not only is it the holidays but I also ran a special offer with a local Yoga studio in town so I’ve been busy ordering Fresh Fruit Cleanse books and True Yoga DVDS for several hundred people.  I’m so glad more people will get to read the book and experience the awesome benefits of Yoga.  As so many of us know, Yoga is one of the most powerful practices for healing body, mind and heart.  It’s amazing how good a little breath and movement can have us feel.  There is a great Zen philosopher who says ‘To have a human body is a joyous thing.’  You can definitely feel the joy of having a body when you give it the gift and wonderful sensation of movement and breath through all of the poses.  Yes, some of the poses are a little challenging, but, when you are connected to the breath in your poses, first, you will realize how good you can feel… Read the rest…

It’s been an interesting couple of days.  First of all, all is well.  I’m so grateful to be alive.  In fact, this is what I wrote in the True Yoga Newsletter I just sent out: 

What Comes to Mind…

Life is Awesome and God Rocks

I’m falling in love with life again. As a child I was in love with the world, fearless and free. Then, there was a time where I was afraid the world, or people, would hurt me. It’s hard to imagine fears like that could have ever existed. As a child we are completely fearless, vulnerable and open. Then, somewhere along the way we felt the fear of being hurt from things that happen in life and we put up walls to protect ourselves from being wounded by anyone or anything.

As our hearts and minds heal and awaken, it feels so good to know those walls are coming down for all of us and we are, once again, able to live from the fearless heart of our inner, exuberant and joyous carefree child. Everything and everyone we have ever known in life has been a teacher, a guru, pointing us home to ourselves…the joyous nature of Love flowing through us.

The other day I was at the mall and there was a little girl wearing a shirt that said ‘God ROCKS’. Later that evening I went to teach at Yoga Balance in McKinney. The lovely Tracy Carruth had made awesome Yoga tank tops and shirts that say Yoga ROCKS and I picked one up to wear. I love that shirt. But, the t shirt I saw earlier in the day reminded me it’s really God that ROCKS. Yoga is a practice that helps us to reconnect with our unbounded childlike essence of joy where we, once again, realize life or God is Good. Sure, there are challenges in life, but, every challenge and person we know in life is really helping us to heal and grow stronger. When we surrender ourselves to the lesson, and, to God’s grace and glory we can know unconditional love and forgiveness for ourselves and one another… Read the rest…

Hello Friends,

I hope this finds you well.  I haven’t written on the True Yoga Blog as much as I would like to recently, but, things have been busy.  I’m sure for us all.  As many of you know, the Fresh Fruit Cleanse was officially released about a month ago on amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com and in bookstores like Barnes & Noble, etc.  It was awesome to see the Fresh Fruit Cleanse books on the shelves at Barnes & Noble.  I’d always sort of whimsically dreamed of the possibility of writing a book, one day, but didn’t in my wildest dreams ever believe that dream would come true…especially now in life… Read the rest…

Namaste to all…

Well, there is certainly a lot going on in the world, but, when hasn’t there been?  Bottom line…it’s all good.  Even if we all have to learn how to farm again…we’ll find a way.  The American people of this country are some of the strongest people on the planet.  We may have to change our ways to grow better, but, we will discover what that is and do what’s best.  That’s what I believe.  These are fascinating times and we’re alive now because we’ve grown to a place where we can move forward in life courageously.  What an incredible, awesome experience this is to be alive.  I feel excited about what the future holds because I know that where there is a will, there is a way and we will find a way to grow and persevere in a positive way…individually and collectively.  Perseverance, not giving up, is one of the most important qualities we can awaken in the human spirit no matter what we seek to realize personally, professionally, spiritually…each one of us has the potential to awaken perseverance and move forward in the best way possible in life with each breath we breathe… Read the rest…
