Inspiration
For my Street Yoga volunteer application I was required to list how many yoga classes I've taught. It was an interesting look back on all the students, locations, and experiences.In Mark Nepo's Book of Awakening, he says:
To journey without being changed is to be a nomad.My journey has lead me to the path of a teacher, and I am proud to say that I have been and continue to be transformed by the experience. I have never given so much of my authentic self in any position, and no other job has ever been so rewarding.
To change without journeying is to be a chameleon.
To journey and to be transformed by the journey is to be a pilgrim.
Fellow libran Eleanor Roosevelt wrote:
There is no more liberating, no more exhilarating experience than to determine one's position, state it bravely and then act boldly.The weeks before my birthday I prepped myself for a new year by taking counsel, getting my tarot read, having an astrological chart drawn, receiving a deep tissue massage, and redesigning my home. In my classes we discussed the transition from summer to fall, and how to stay grounded in the present. I lead my first Street Yoga class and saw yoga in a new perspective.
The birthday has passed. The journey continues.
Love,
Fawn
