My first post for 'Smile Yogini'! I love this title I chose! I'm so blessed to live with Yoga and because I do, I have every reason to smile! Along with that smile, through my practice, I find more reasons to connect with my breath and in turn connect with the breath of the world around me...
I'd like to say thank you for reading (even if you decide to stop reading here!-Thank you for visiting!)

Having just graduated from my 200hr. Yoga Teacher Training with Desert Yoga Therapy, my final is still fresh in my mind. We had to teach a 40 min class with certain requirements- our peers and past graduates either participating or observing. Now, even though I might be considered "a ham" to those closest to me, I've found that when observers are finally ready to judge, I'll run away. Here is an example, I love to sing but when time came to perform my mid-term for a Broadway voice class at the local community collage, I dropped the class. TWICE! It is so uncomfortable to be judged by others! Right?! Well, over the course of these past 7 months or so, the most profound thing I might have learned about the practice of Yoga is that you must breathe into what is uncomfortable.
"Your breath is what gets you through."
With nourishing oxygen is how we can grow, expand and stretch-not only in our bodies but in our minds.
I wasn't going to run away this time. I found the calm, the confidence, and the knowing that what I needed was inside of me. Only I could be responsible for allowing it to flow out. My work was to not stress over how it would go; my job was to relax.
I was elated to have stayed. I enjoy Yoga so much more than running!
I got a big hug from Jayne, and she said, "You didn't run away!" She knew my Broadway story.
Thank you for staying and reading this blog post! You're time is precious! Namaste
