Catching up, reading everyones blogs is warming and inspiring! I miss all my yoga friends, I miss those 10 days of yoga training that felt so much like a "me retreat." Life seems like it's running by fast, especially when you feel the guilt of not blogging since August! Things are feeling slower, heavier, and much more lazy these days. I'm another fellow yogini, lucky enough to have a child growing within me! Have I mentioned feeling lazy...and heavy. Walking has been my exercise, the couch and TV my greatest friends! And I usually am not a TV gal. So this new state of being hasn't been awesome in ALL ways. I've definitley fought many aspects of it, and find myself trying to figure out why, and when, and how things are happening. I'm trying to let them just be. So today I went to only my 4th prenatal class in almost 4 months. It was wonderful. The best part is partaking in calm beautiful energy of pregnant ladies. And feeling my body engage and react to poses I think are "easy", in a way I've never felt them! Being pregnant is really a good yoga lesson. While it's easy to get consumed , it's also a blessing to be constantly reminded to all that is going on within you. And then to remember, you really can't do much about it, but let it just be that way. Our bodies are amazing, I'm daily touched by the reality that my body is creating another body! Wow!!! I am blessed!

Just wanted to put a pic of my honey on my blog...he is my love! Recently I've been in a yoga slump. Not been going to yoga as much as "i should" and wishing I could suck it up and do a home practice. The negative, self doubting voice in my head is telling me I don't know enough to have an effective home practice. What a load of bull*&!@# Then this alien-like, majorly intrusive knot is hanging out in my upper back that makes it hard to move my head! I'm being gentle with my body, and trying to listen to it.

One a positive note, I just taught my 3rd yoga class to about 5 of my co-workers. It has been a great experience, I can see why Kira said "start teaching right away." There is something about being able to hear and feel your voice fill a room, and see how people react and respond. My co-workers have said many positive things about our class, but I continue to let that voice in...the one which tells me things like "you say too much, you don't really know how to make a class flow." Where does this evil voice come from? I am learning some really cool lessons teaching. I know that like all things in life, it will get better with practice, and feel more authentic as I get more comfortable with it. This is one of the many things that is teaching me patience right now. And breathe....
