The power of release.

Emotional breakthroughs that happen while practicing yoga are amazing. I remember the first one I had. I was laying on the floor listening to the teacher and finding a deep connection to what she was saying. The tears began to fill in my eyes and they just wouldn't stop. It was actually quite refreshing and after the crying finally ended I felt a little bit more free. This is quite an amazing feeling to have. It is one of the reason I became so interested in the practice of yoga.

I believe that the body holds on to the past in certain parts of the body. Each person has there stress holder, like when your shoulders are tight, or your back hurts, sometimes it is even in the stomach. By practicing yoga the poses reach those "knots" and wring them out. The breath opens up the areas and the body position of the pose reaches deep inside to massage it. Each area of the body is represent by a chakra and the chakras are connected by channels. One basic example of the body connection to the mind is though two of the Nadi's in the body (the channels in the body) Ida and Pingala. These channels criss cross though each Chakra from the base of the spine to the third eye. This connects each chakra to the next and keeps the energy flowing upward. It is important to find the tight spots for the emotional break though, but to also take care of all other areas to keep your mind and body at an even place.

Party Girl!



She dance all night long.
We had a beautiful christening ceremony on Sunday. My family was here from Montana and Pittsburgh. It was so beautiful to watch her listen to the priest speak.

Of course, the water was cold and she cried when it was poured over her head. The oil anointing bothered her too, but it smelled nice. She also tried to eat the Father Anthony's fingers.

It is has been interesting to me how I have allowed religion back into my life. Previously it made me uncomfortable and refused to participate in religion for most of my life. Since I began practicing yoga and studying the spirituality of god. It has made it easier to understand and think about that relationship. What/Who is god to me? What/Who is god to you?

For the Fall

My website has been updated. I am so excited! There are so many things I want to work on this fall. Currently, I am working on getting an ImmeYoga class together, by donation, in Brooklyn. I am really excited to be able to give a great yoga class to people. I will continue to substitute classes at DNA when I am asked to teach. All of this will be posted on my calender http://www.immeindustries.com/yoga/ .

Some things I need to work on:
I need to figure out a space where I can sew my clothes. Space is limited around my apartment so that is a challenge. For now check out what I have for sale currently.

I am going to continue the choreography of solos I have been putting together and produce a show in the next year. More to come...
