Tell
us, when did mind-body first bend you to it's will? …..A
co-worker would not shut-up about “Hatha yoga” You gotta
try it, you gotta try it….blah blah blah……to
create silence in the workplace, I took a class. How relieving to
know I could revive myself without the ego –based environment
and equipment I had tried to make work. That connection to my
higherself was definite and absolute…
Besides
your obvious coolness, what makes you qualified to teach? I started
teaching by default. As normal in the yoga world, a teacher scheduled
to teach did not show; I was asked to lead the class. Once I sensed
the collective consciousness and trust to move into asana, I wanted
to be a facilitator to another’s health. The internal thinking
and movements I have learned in practice for myself I share out loud
with students hoping the connection can happen for each student. Does
passion and dedication count as qualified?
What
other things are you qualified to do? Aside from keeping my biology
in health to shine, I am a licensed/certified Realtor. I belong to an
ancient fraternity and work in the community (silently). Qualified to
argue with the best on almost any subject, try me;)
What
can we expect to see, hear and do in your classes? “The most
exercise people get is jumping to conclusions.”…I love
that quote. Using that as my premise to practice, You will not have
an agenda to conform to. You will re-learn how to stand on your own 2
feet, literally. I believe strongly in foundation and intellect while
you practice. As a part of the 8 limbs of Yoga, personal etiquette
and composure are necessary, to enjoy and be successful in yoga.
Looking cool in a posture DOES NOT mean you can do the posture.
Understand where you are. You will hear concise direction with no
expectation to be perfect….I am not a personal trainer nor
will I guide as such. I will always support and encourage your
determination and desire to be healthier and a brighter Light.
What
pose/move do you dig the most and why? Standing Bow (Digasana) and
Camel (Ustrasana). To activate every muscle group and incorporate the
breath, finding the muhla-bonda (lock) and holding the posture until
you shake, is AHHHHH, nice.
If
you could push a button and remove a pose/move from history, which
one and why? Happy Cow Face (Gomukhasana). I still don’t see
why the cow is happy? I asked them, they ain’t talkin’….
Like,
what's your sign man? I am an extreme Gemini ….
What
are 3 things that make you smile real big and cheesy? A baby’s
laugh, the calm of the morning (before we disturb it) and watching
someone discover their Light.
What
is your favorite quote when you're in need of a little inspiration?
“Tell me …and I forget. Teach me and I learn. Involve
me, and I remember.” – Ben Franklin
If
you could do anything to change the world, what would it be?
I would like to change the paradigm we exist to a: “win-win”.
I am SOOOOO tired of the: win-lose paradigm”. I will put in an
extra quarter ride longer as a win-win.
Any
other interesting information you would like to share with the nice
people reading this here Bio?
