Making it to the Mat

When you're first starting to practice, or even after you've been practicing for a while, one of the hardest things to do is to make it to the mat. And that's where the alchemy occurs...

I try to encourage my students to "get there." That's it. Then, all they have to do is let go and let the yoga work for them. Whatever their desires, goals, hopes, dreams, etc. Let go, and see what Spirit has in store for you...you never know where it may lead...

That's exciting. Especially when you consider it's pretty relaxing, challenging, and hearty--like a bowl of etheric Campbell's soup, sent in waves and rushes through your being when you least expect it. But on a regular basis. This is what we like to call "communion with the Divine." Welcome to class.

There are plenty of places to get your information for the day. I like to say that one's own clear channel of peace--that energetic column that's informed totally and completely by one's own fullness--mind, body, and spirit, ego, high self, and soul, plus plus--God--that's a good place to check in with as frequently as possible. So that's why yoga's a nice way to spend some time.

Get to the mat, y'all.
