Lent - the season when everybody talks about giving up chocolate or coffee or alcohol. Like that's hard. How about giving up gossip or complaining or judging? The real question could be, what do I need to give up to live my life more fully? To find out, we first must pay attention and notice our thoughts, feelings - simply by practicing being present in the moment. For me, the best place to practice that is on my yoga mat. Let's take the next 40 days to get clear on what we stand for. 40 - an auspicious number - Jesus spent 40 days meditating in the desert. Moses wandered into the midst of a cloud for 40 years. Noah endured rain for 40 days and nights. In my yoga practice, I will make every Warrior pose stand for a spiritual value. With every twist I squeeze out blame, shame, and the idea of not being good enough. With each exhale we have a chance to let something go. With each inhale I "inspire" - I breath life into the good in my life. And as I practice I sure hope to inspire my students to do the same.

I want to try yoga just like you. It will be an unusual experience for me. 5/13/2017 03:51:27 pm
I don't believe in lent. Don't get me wrong. I am not against those people who practice it. I just feel we should not wait for that season to do the things we don't normally do like get out of our comfort zones. Go on a diet. Try to be nice to everyone. Pray. We are allowed to do these things anytime of the year. So for everyone's sake, do it. 9/9/2017 04:28:22 am
Thank you for the inspirational words you've given. I agree that during the time of lent people should learn not to judge others instead make oneself even better. We should stop spreading negativity and learn to accept one another. Just like Our Creator, we should make Love the center of our relationship so that inner peace will be achieved. I'm inspired by your words and I hope that others will too. 4/1/2017 04:33:36 am
Sounds like a challenge to me. Okay, I guess that 40 days will be enough for me. 4/16/2017 11:05:37 pm
It's nice to be active and do all you want to do in your life. Many old people are in their house playing with their grandchild or golfing. But you are going to places and nothing to worry about some jobs. When I am retiring too, I will go to many places that I did not yet go with my wife. You inspire many 40s people that you have some chance to go somewhere you want to go, it's not too late yet. 4/24/2017 08:51:17 pm
Hope that this old would be better than the new. 8/26/2017 03:08:26 am
