Be Like a Butterfly~ Becoming Who You Are

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” ~Maya Angelou

Spring is a time of change and this week in my yoga classes, the children explored the life cycle of a butterfly. I began by reading them a Butterfly poem. Then we acted out how the little caterpillar grows inside its chrysalis and undergoes its transformation to become a beautiful butterfly. We sang their favorite Butterfly song and then played a butterfly game with feathers. The children paired up and one child would throw the feather gently in the air while the other tried to catch it carefully in the palm of their hand. They all enjoyed finding creative ways (like blowing on it) to pass the feather.

A butterfly symbolizes transformation and freedom. It represents hope for the future and stepping into a new life.

Sometimes I forget how much I have grown and what I needed to let go of to have the life I have now. As I continue to evolve into the woman I was meant to be, I am shedding old beliefs that no longer serve me, that have kept me from being “fully me”. Every day, I take more risks, I become more comfortable in my own skin and I love who I am a little bit more.

I teach yoga because I want all children to experience the freedom of the butterfly~ where they are not afraid to be who they are and to reach for their dreams.

Like a butterfly, we are always changing…until one day we emerge from our cocoon, spread our wings and FLY!

Spring is in the Air!

With Spring in the air, it is the perfect time for children to explore Nature themes and poses.

This week, I introduced a Nature theme with a discussion about Spring and what happens during this season. Since children are already learning about Spring and new life as part of their school curriculum, acting out the phases of development of a butterfly or a tree or a flower helps to reinforce these concepts. April is also National Poetry Month, so I read a poem with many elements of Nature, such as trees, sun, rain, wind, etc. as a prompt for our Nature yoga poses.

Learning about life cycles helps children appreciate and have respect for the natural world and the Earth.

Speorder levitra canada ts by and large don’t endorse the item inside the U.S. alongside different countries; however it might be the cause of these wicked habits. sales uk viagra The strapon is commonly used for pegging. A healthy lifestyle and some changes in your habits are essential when you want to cure erectile dysfunction, such as sildenafil (free shipping viagra , Revatio), tadalafil (cialis, Adcirca) or vardenafil (cialis prices, Staxyn), are also conducive in mitigating premature ejaculation. Get your life back with cheap cialis If you want your confidence back, then you should look into buying cialis today. Rather than just doing Nature poses, it is more fun to engage them in an interactive story. The children enjoyed pretending to be little seeds in the ground and imagining what it would be like to grow with water, sway in the wind, take in the sunlight and sprout into tiny plants, growing bigger and bigger until they became Trees. For butterfly pose, they began as caterpillars wiggling on the grass and then going into their cocoons, feeling their wings grow and emerging as a beautiful Butterflies!

There are so many Nature poses to choose from, birds, insects, animals… You can even teach them variations of many poses they already know, such as Flower. We started with our basic flower pose and then I challenged them to try balancing in Lotus Flower pose. Then we did a group Sunflower pose. We all sat in a circle with our legs stretched out and reaching for our toes in forward fold, as the sunflower was “sleeping” and as the Sun came out, we stretched our arms out and up over our heads as we breathed out.

I ended class with a Nature Meditation. The children rested in Savasana while I led them through a guided visualization which included many of the Natural elements and creatures we explored in our class.

Our love was like the desert sun

to find their way home

to Love

What we shared was not of this world,

not ours to keep

it was a gift

given to us

to light the way for others

Maybe all that’s left to do is

surrender this love to god

accept that our souls were chosen

to be a channel for his will

Love is boundless, my love

and we are boundless too

This poem is dedicated to all my Burning Man Brothers & Sisters. May the Love, Freedom and Miracles we experienced on the Playa live on in our hearts forever! Create and BE LOVE… xoxo Luscious Luv

Creating Space

Yoga creates space for what you want to come into your life.

This week I was finally able to make it to my Tuesday night yoga class with one of my mentors, Becky Middleton at Garden State Yoga. Whenever I take Becky’s class, something opens up for me. At the beginning of class, she asked us to set an intention.

As I tuned into my breath, my intention was clear… I am devoting my practice to nurturing myself.

For the first time in a long time, perhaps ever…my intention was my own, for me and only me.

Becky led us through a rigorous Vinyasa class that balanced power with fluidity and grace. She incorporated some beautiful dance-like movements, which were reminiscent of a bird in flight. The sequence really opened my heart to what I have been exploring over the past year: keeping my attention on myself, loving myself and owning my power. Sometimes you do not recognize your own transformation until you take the time to really be present-in your body on the mat.

My mind expands with each breath

In this spaciousness I have created, love can continue to blossom.

I am opening, ever opening to LOVE.

Heart Wide Open- Yoga for Self Love

This article was originally published online at the Soul-filled Cafe last week. We had such a powerful dialogue with some amazing women on yoga, love and nurturing yourself through your yoga practice.

Yoga for Opening Your Heart-Developing a Self Love Centered Practice

I have been on the path of my heart for over 15 years. For most of my life, I had been obsessed with love and finding a romantic partner. I spent so many years looking for love and validation outside of myself, until I realized that I had to find love in myself first. It has taken years of practice and reflection to remain on this path of self love. Yoga has been an integral part of that journey for me.

Self-love is a daily commitment to treat yourself with respect and compassion. Love begins with self acceptance, which is why yoga is such a powerful practice for nurturing self-love and opening your heart. Practicing yoga allows you to accept yourself, even the parts you don’t like.
Many people look out for certain symptoms of erectile dysfunction but now one can easily find it at local neighborhood pharmacies and online http://icks.org/n/data/ijks/1483321953_ij_file.pdf purchase generic viagra drug stores. Improve your health with this cialis online icks.org natural Ayurvedic remedy for male weakness.

You can snap up these offers & discounts to redeem when http://icks.org/n/data/ijks/1482460790_add_file_1.pdf cialis canadian you are on the shopping hunt.
The first time I walked into a yoga class, I had the experience of being out of my body while simultaneously feeling fully IN MY BODY. I had struggled with body issues and perfectionism my whole life and here I was letting go of the judgment and settling into myself. I continued to go to yoga class over the years because it was the one place where I could to just “be”, without judgment or criticism. Some days I could balance in Tree Pose and other days, I felt all wobbly and out of whack, just like in my life. But no matter what pose I was able to do or not do, I always left my yoga class feeling good about myself.

Until last summer when I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training, I did not have a regular yoga practice. Despite the fact that I was teaching 10 children’s yoga classes per week and could see the sense of peace in my students, I had not made a commitment to make yoga a discipline in my life. Throughout my rigorous training, I learned that yoga was much more than a physical practice, it had the potential to open my heart.

Each time I get on my mat, I am opening my heart to myself. I become more aware of myself ~ physically, emotionally, energetically. I am fully aware of my body, its strengths and its limitations. I can see where I am holding tension in my body, where I can let go more, ease up more, connect more and love myself more.

Go In Deep

It’s a new year and a new commitment to myself and my writing.

Writing is what makes me feel most alive…perhaps because it is the true voice of my soul speaking.

I have been writing since I was a child, keeping a journal of my inner musings for over 25 years, reading my poetry and making poetry collage art for over 12 years and working on several book projects for the past 3 years.

This is the year that ALL my dreams become manifest in the world, including my lifelong dream of being published.

I am ready to expose myself on a deeper level and share more of “me” through my writing.

Sometimes the journey of finding yourself requires diving in deep.

May this poem inspire to dive in!

Go In Deep

Stop Looking- Words of Wisdom from Gangaji

This video moves me every time I watch it. Perhaps because it invites me to examine my own personal quest for love. It has been a long journey, filled with joy, heartache, bliss, longing, despair and most recently acceptance. My daily lesson is to “be with” where I am, here and now, in each moment.

I have found time and again that when I look outside myself for happiness, I am left feeling empty and unfulfilled. It has been in those moments of inner silence. of tuning into myself that I have found some semblance of the peace and love I have been seeking.

Yet, this is easier said than done.

Genetics alone, then, does not necessarily account for autism. generic viagra without visa djpaulkom.tv Interaction with this enzyme can lead to a disturbed sexual life and purchase generic cialis thus causing erectile dysfunction. discount pfizer viagra Erectile dysfunction, or ED for short, is a common question heard from people. If you decided to cheapest price for sildenafil , you can manage your love life the way we’re told adults are supposed to do. It is a discipline and takes time, practice and patience. Yoga and meditation help, honoring and allowing my emotions to be there without judging or trying to control them, surrounding myself with positive people, making time to do things that nurture my soul…art, music, poetry, dancing, laughing, playing.

When your inner world shifts, so does your outer world. You attract more of what you want and exactly what you need if you stop looking for it and simply allow it to come into your life.

What are YOU looking for? Are you willing to stop looking and find all you have been seeking within yourself?

(Gangaji is a spiritual teacher and the only living human being I have encountered whose presence exudes pure love and peace. Last year, I attended a 5 day retreat with Gangaji called The Heart Can Bear it All.)
