Practice

Hi Everyone, It has been awhile since I have posted, so sorry! It has been a very busy few months of manifesting for me around my yoga practice and creating more opportunities to teach yoga. Coming back to practice, many months ago, my lovely teacher Laura Erdman-Luntz began
directing her advanced teaching class into thinking about our practices on a more expansive level. I have found that my practice has expanded in ways I did not imagine when I started yoga 16 years ago. I daily do some type of asana practice, the meditative practice and my daily
practice of ahimsa and staying present is what has made the most differance. Ahimsa, non-harming is a starting point for any yogi in this society. So many things can be harmful and as soon as we are able to come from compassion and the true intention of our heart then we are practicing yoga. This is very challenging daily and moment to moment!! I always come back to myself, I have always been my worst critic and just turning the tide on myself and being more compassionate helps me extend it to others even more. I also do not feel depleted, I can be so much more present when I am not feeling low on energy. If my energy is high then my practice is also energized and creative. I highly recommend taking a look at your practice. Define what it is start with an asana pose and then take it from there and into your day! Namaste, Denise
