We as humans put on many masks so we can “fit in” with society. What happens when we begin to shed the masks and embrace who we truly are? I came across this Judy Garland quote the other day and I thought I would share it here with you lovely yogis and yoginis.

“Always be a first-rate version of yourself instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.” Judy Garland

Just For Now

Just for now, without asking how, let yourself sink into stillness.

Just for now, lay down the
weight you so patiently
bear upon your shoulders.
Feel the earth receive
you, and the infinite
expanse of sky grow even
wider as your awareness
reaches up to meet it.

 Just for now, allow a wave of breath to enliven your experience.

Breathe out
whatever blocks you from
the truth. Just for now, be
boundless, free, awakened
energy tingling in your
hands and feet. Drink in
the possibility of being
who and what you really are
so fully alive that when you
open your eyes the world
looks different, newly born
and vibrant, just for now.

I know this is where my work lies. It’s been a long and sloppy process of breaking down barriers for me and it’s been a tremendous growing experience. Yoga saved my life.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built. -Rumi

Need I say more? Love truly is your true essence. Are you aligned with your true essence? When/where do you struggle? It’s time to get your journal out, dig deep, and be present. Don’t forget to love yourself first… because you cannot pour from an empty cup.

I love this Vedantin quote and I completely forgot that I had it saved. I will definitely be sharing this quote in my classes this week. Inner beauty is worth recognizing. What are you sharing with your students, friends, and family this week?

“You find the beauty everywhere you go [if] you carry that beauty within you.” Vedantin

A yoga instructor friend of mine posted this quote to her Facebook wall last week and it immediately struck a cord with me. I can’t believe how long it took me to post. Dream big yogis!

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

Another wonderful quote from Pema Chodron. This quote reminds me of the undoing of knots, the undoing of our granthis, the undoing of our samskaras, and the undoing of that which holds us back.

“Sometimes we find that we like our thoughts so much that we don’t want to let them go.” Pema Chodron

Both a blessing and a source of frustration at the same time. This truth sometimes feels like it’s thrown in my face again and again. I will always be a student. There is always more to learn. This world has so much to offer.
