~ Gravity : Power : Yoga ~

Its been far too long my friends, I’m sorry to say I’ve been too busy to blog.  It is sad but true.  Today, I realized just how long it had been, and realized it was time once again to get by ass back here and share the love.

Since the birth of our baby in June I have to say I’ve been further away from my practice than ever before, but that’s really no excuse.   These last few months I’ve been traveling and while being away from my girls, I have had the opportunity to make a decision for my practice.  With 24 hours in a day, 8 of which belong to the customer, what do I do with the rest of my day.  Normally I’d find a drinking buddy, go have dinner and drink the night away.  This was great for a week or so, but then I started to question what I was doing, and why I wasn’t using this time for the good of my soul instead of the bad.

SO, I made the conscious decision that if I had to be away from my family I would at the very least take care of my body and mind… So for the last few weeks I’ve made almost a class a day while on the road.  The initial benefits of getting back to a normal practice are all there, plus I quickly realized how cool it was to have the opportunity to take from that many different teachers.  Some good, some not as good, one that was down right bad… But I’d like to think I learned something from each and every one of them.  Phrases like “let the electricity from your breath spark the tingle in your fingers” as we came out of svasana.  In each class we take there are things that are the same, maybe we do them the same, maybe they are just taught the same, but hearing phrases like this really helped me realize that there are truly many paths to the same destination.

What have you done today to recognize and set your sights on your destination?  Have you checked your path, are you still on it? Or does it need to be totally adjusted?  Any way you look at it, they are all OK, just choose consciously to follow your path and you will always end up where you need to be.
