YOGAWORKS TEACHER TRAINING IN JANUARY

Dear Students & Friends --

This Month I will be assisting a Yogaworks intensive Teacher Training in Santa Monica, led by Malachi Grieves. 

A lot of you have asked me why I choose to do this now with a flourishing Ayurveda practice and a full teaching schedule.

I Believe We Need To Constantly Challenge Ourselves and evolve through continuous curiosity, right action and focused intention to move forward, rather then standing still or being stuck in a rut. I've been contemplating the role of a Teacher Trainer a few times in the last several years, but have always backed away from the time involvement due to having 3 little kids.

The time has come for me to step up my game and into the role of a leader to teach others about the transformative power of Yoga.

This month I am excited to assist Malachi Melville in her intensive TT format at Yogaworks and support her students as they find their voice and build their teaching skills. I Am Looking Forward to brushing up on Yoga philosophy, anatomy, the yoga sutras and the subtle body. I love being a student, and I look forward to supporting aspiring teachers on their path.

I thrive on challenges and opportunities and welcome change.

I invite you all to continue practicing while I'm gone with my fantastic subs, fellow teacher and friend Annmarie Soul, and the wonderful Amy Harrington.

Annmarie will cover all Tuesday and Thursday classes at Yoga Desa, starting January 10th until February 2nd!

Amy will cover all Yogaworks classes in Westlake on Mondays & Fridays, as well as Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and Wednesday mornings in Woodland Hills.

I am very grateful to them both.

I am looking forward to seeing many of you on my Sunday morning class at 10.30am at Yoga Desa in Topanga!

I will be back teaching my regular schedule on February 6th.

Sold Out Ojai Retreat!

On another note, our Spring retreat in Ojai March 17-19th is Sold Out! I cannot wait to take such a beautiful group of souls into a deeply enriching and nourishing weekend with co-teacher Annmarie Soul.

We are already planning our next retreat this Fall, for those of you that weren't able to get into the Spring retreat, mark your calendars!

Thanks to all of you who came out to our New Year's Day class at Yoga Desa! What a great way to start the year.

Layers, Sheaths and Koshas

Kosha means "sheath" in Sanskrit. In yoga, the term is used to describe metaphorical layers within the human body. This meaning comes from the ancient Hindu texts called the Upanishads. The koshas are often likened to Russian nesting dolls or the layers of an onion.

Empathy

I have been thinking about empathy lately, and how at times it seems hard to find, especially when triggered, and how at other times it comes naturally, freely and effortlessly.

Here is what I found after some soul-searching (and some researching):

Empathy is a term we use for the ability to understand other people's feelings as if we were having them ourselves.
