Much needed R&R

"Yoga believes in transforming the individual before transforming the world. Whatever change we want to happen outside should happen within. If you walk in peace and express that peace in your very life, others will see you and learn something."
- Sri Swami Satchidananda


Yes, oh yes! it was SO good! Left The Nash last Sat. for Asheville (soon to be my new home) for the weekend. Good times. Sisters. Friends. Food. SLEEP! I left AVL Tues for the ashram in VA, about 6.5 hours away. The first 24 hours are always the same; kinda a 'what the hell am I doing here' feeling... but I get over it fairly quickly. Yoga twice a day (yes, 6 am sucks when I'm going to the clinic or class, but when it means stumbling downstairs for yoga it ain't so bad!), vegan food, meditation, pujas, sweet old friends and new ones, mindless work in exchange for a cheap nightly rate to dorm. Once I get used to the idea, I'm totally in my element. Lucky for me, I always end up with sweet roommates there. This time it was Sangita who just completed teacher training in Mexico - lucky lady! Good times there. Really good. The kind I like - sweet people to meet and connect with, lots of good yoga instruction and oh, did I mention the great folks up there?! I'm one lucky woman to have found this community - the mother of the Integral Yoga Institute, my SF yoga family. I feel rested which apparently was just what I needed, even though I didn't realize it. Sending you love and peace.

yeah baby

First of all,
This is worth watching



First: re: the above picture of my Muppet boots. They are gone. I gave them away to my burner buddies to enjoyi in the desert. Adios Chewbaca boots! Meanwhile, i'm almost there. Almost on spring break. sigh, I can't wait til I'm actually done with this test I'm going to take tonight (fun Friday night, eh? acutually gonna go party once it's done.... GotTo!). but then I'm outta here. Heading east tomorrow to AVL to see the siblings, a few Burner buddies & meet with the MD i'll be working with this summer. North on monday to chill with the swamis, yogis and yoginis in Yogaville. Yes, Yogaville. Right up my street, eh? The Satchinanada ashram near Charlottesville, VA is where I'll be all week cooking (& eating!) vegan fare, getting up at the crack of ass to practice yoga & meditate. The first day or two is always difficult, but once I'm on the schedule, I never want to leave. Such sweet brothas & sistas up there, reminding me that I'm in the home stretch of the insanity (grad school) and my mind & body will soon be free from the ties that currently bind me. August (graduation) is right around the corner.... Praises! In the meantime, check this out.

yee haw!

I'm moving to AVL in May.... praises!
