I am ME

Watch your thoughts, for they become your words.
 Watch your words, for they become your actions.
 Watch your actions, for they become your habits.
Watch your habits, for they become your character.
 Watch your character, for that becomes your destiny.”
 – Upanishads
 
I look over my blog and I feel like a different person than the one who stepped into the Bohdi Yoga Studio 2 years ago.  I didn't realize when I had the thought years ago of finding something that I could study and find a passion for that I would be where I am today.  I am extremely grateful for the people I now call friends and the friends that have been so encouraging.  My family and I are still working on my yoga studio and I look so forward to having my own practice to share with others.  I truly could not have a more content feeling in my life at this point.  I am Me.

Emotions of Yoga

 
 
 
 
 We all have them and a yoga practice is a wonderful way to work with emotions.  Whether you know it or not there is always an emotion going on inside you.  When we understand the body/mind/spirit/ connection that is yoga we start to understand the importance of releasing emotions.  Some emotions if not released can be stored  and can really cause trouble in the body later on.  Even too much of a good thing can cause an overload to our system.  Through yoga and meditation I have had a lot of success on releasing build up emotions and have been able to just find my true self.  I like to start my day with a simple meditation and this can be a challenge some days.  If I am really overwhelmed and feel like I can't get to it I know that I need it more than ever.  Even if I can take just 15 minutes to sit and breath I will feel much better and ready to step into my yoga practice.  If you are looking for a great meditation to start out your New Year you should look into this meditation offered at Bohdi Yoga.
