Its all yoga, all the time for me! Throughout my day - doing bodywork, teaching yoga, running a business, working in the garden, relaxing with friends and puppies in this beautiful state of New Mexico - my life is infused with yoga. I love the deeper awareness of my body, mind, soul that it brings me; love the deeper connection it enables me to experience with the world around it; and REALLY love that I am able to share this beauty with others.

I know its not always possible to connect with other yogis, that we all need extra inspiration in our own practices, and sometimes even a little kick in the butt to get into that yoga zone. I hope this blog will help you with that (and me, too!) as I share pieces of my classes, practices and inspiration with you.

How to maintain your yoga practice

As the Beatles sang,
"Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm going to try with a little help from my friends
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends"

Yogic philosophy gives us 6 "friends" that lead to maintaining a steady yoga practice.  Consider asking them over next time you are a little reluctant to step onto your mat...
1. Enthusiasm
2. Courage
3. Perseverance
4. Discrimination
5. Unshakable faith
6. Abandonment of the company of people

**special thanks to TKV Desikachar's great book The Heart of Yoga for the simple translation of the 6 friends.
