tweet, tweet, fly!

Hey Friends & Blog-readers, this one's gonna be a quickie (and hap-hazardly themed around birds)...
Just wanted to reiterate that things are hatching and taking wee baby birdie steps forward with my new yoga business - we're full steam ahead (ok, that was a train reference, I think...) slowly but surely.
We're also on Twitter! (Well, by "we" I mean "I" but by April the Twitter account will be much more focused on the new business, and thus SO MUCH GREATER THAN just li'l ol' me)
If you'd like to follow me as I move towards taking flight with my totally exciting new yoga business, you can follow me on Twitter: @go_yoga
Finally, I'd like to share with you a link to a beautiful blog that a yoga teacher friend/colleague of mine just started, and this post in particular features a beautiful poem by Rumi about birds wings that has the ability to bring me to my knees (not to mention the lovely way that my dear friend has written about her moving experience in a yoga class that I was assisting last weekend!)
Read. Weep. Swoon. Love.
NAMASTE
How I Want It To Feel
Posted February 7, 2012
“Feelings are magnetic. So it goes that if you generate certain feelings (and you have the power to create any feeling you desire) then you increase the power of your emotional magnetism. But we need to limber up, loosen the images and adjectives encrusted on our goals and most-desired states. It helps to get poetic, lyrical, and abstract.” So says Danielle LaPorte.
Based out of my hometown of Vancouver Danielle LaPorte is my latest hero/guru/mentor that I’ve never met. Somehow I stumbled upon her wicked-awesome, totally inspirational website back in the fall when I googled “inspiration”, I think. Ah Google, where would I be without you?
Danielle doesn’t know me, but she’s already had a very profound impact on my life to date. We’ve never emailed personally (though I do receive her weekly words of fiery wisdom). And when I joined Twitter last weekend and she started following me (likely as a result of me retweeting one of her posts) I must admit I felt a little starstruck, and was essentially over the moon with joy & pride. In short, Ms LaPorte rocks my world as of late.
Her latest website endeavor is The Burning Questions - and I invite you to join me in reflecting on Danielle’s questions each week. Because it is fun, and good for the soul. This I deeply believe.
The question du jour (or week as it may be) is HOW DO YOU WANT IT ALL TO FEEL?
Well, for those among you who would like to know...
I want my day to feel like warm fresh laundry.
I want kissing to feel like Alice falling down the rabbit hole.
I want my next success to feel like Danielle LaPorte felt on the day (last month) when her yet-to-be-released book made the Amazon bestseller list, on pre-orders!!!
I want my body to feel like a cello that has lived and been loved for generations (like the violin in that movie, The Red Violin)
I want my nervous system to feel like the ocean air.
I want my neighbourhood to feel like the city I fell in love with when I moved to Toronto at age 17 in the year 2000.
I want my friendships to feel like... Like cosmic unbreakable networks of light and love so deep and true that it is tangibly thick like honey; Like honey-sweetened chamomile tea that you drink on sick & tired days; Like silk handkerchiefs that dry the tears of broken hearts and bruised egos; Like a magic mirror that allows you to see yourself with the love and compassion and clarity with which those who love you see you; Yes, like all that!
I want my ideas to feel like fireworks set to a soundtrack of Matisyahu, Stravinsky, Michael Jackson and of course, my firework girl herself, Katy Perry.
I want my laughter to feel like rainbows and bubbles on a west coast summer day.
I want my word to feel like diamonds in the rough.
I want my money-making to feel like a firm handshake.
I want my philanthropy to feel like breathing.
I want smiling to feel like truth.
I want my challenges to feel like The Grouse Grind.
I want my love to feel like a well-worn flannel baby blanket.
I want my writing to feel like raw honest sculptures of the imperfect human form.
I want being of service to feel like child's pose.
I want the end of the day to feel like slow dancing.
Three Things I Want You To Know
Posted February 7, 2012
1. I'm up to my ears in business plans for my new company (which is an exciting new yoga endeavor that will be so much greater than me as a solo entity because it will embrace, encompass and extend the talents and skills of other totally super fantastic teachers!)
2. I'm still teaching yoga (I am currently teaching both privately and to groups at studios, community centers & schools) and despite by hectic busyness, I am totally still available for hire as an independent yoga instructor to meet YOUR needs! Be in touch if you want to discuss your yoga options with me.
3. Finally, I just want to admit that between still teaching (both yoga and arts-based programs), occasional managerial and/or childcare work for previous employers of mine, and incredibly large amounts of time-consuming work on my new business, blogging on this personal site of mine is low on the priority list. Especially in light of the fact that once I launch my new business, which will of course have it's own website, I will probably just phase out this personal site of mine... So it goes. In order to move forward we must let go of the past, right?
Anyhow, that's why my blogging has been and will continue to be minimal these days. Just so you know.
However, I am about to do another personal blog post on here RIGHT NOW! Wait for it... Wait for it...
Returning to the Mother of us All
Posted January 25, 2012
I woke up this morning craving Jennifer Berezan's "ReTurning" - a gorgeous album of music recorded in the Oracle Chamber (a 6000 year old Goddess temple made for sound) in the Hypogeum at Hal Saflieni, Malta. Seriously - I woke up craving this sound this morning!
I mean, I've obviously heard the album before, though it was long ago, but it did sort of just appear in my thoughts this morning - maybe through my dreams? Anyhow, google helped me out in my search and I found this lovely video:
