YOGA PRACTICE

There is nothing like Yoga practice to give you that mind body connection. I feel so zen today after my class with Nicole Sherman at Pink Iron. I am trying to do as much yoga as possible, and I can see my practice is opening up with each class. Today we did a lot of hip openers, which feels completely marvelous, especially afterwards. I am really getting more flexible by the day and that makes me completely happy. Afterwards I awarded myself with a fresh squeezed carrot/cucumber juice from my friends at WeHo Bistro. Now it is time to eat a healthy lunch and workout soon. I love being so active, I feel like I am floating on a cloud.

Yoga fuels my muse, here is a poem I wrote that was featured in Lightworkers World. It is how I view my yoga practice. 
Namaste' 
Love and Light to all

NAMASTE'

Coming from me, a poet and former ballet dancer,

yoga combines the cerebral aspects of my brain with the physical reality of my body;

stanzas gesturing in motion.

As I transition from asana to asana, my mind poses that

age old question; am I one with the universe?

The answer is always a definite yes.

I feel as if I am the salt of the earth below my toes, the clouds hovering above my head.

I realize not only am I one with the earth and the universe, I am so with all creatures;

and one with my sometimes puzzling psyche.

By the time I reach the elusive state of savasana I feel as if I am floating above my body.

I finally return back to earth in prayer pose to recite that final namaste,

in that belated moment of clarity I am reminded of the gratitude I have for being heaven sent yet earth bound.
