2013

Tulsa Yoga Tribe~ I've been asked to be a part of a local health news segment for the New Year and I would love to know what YOU think~ if you are currently a yogi, how will your practice help you achieve your goals for 2013? If you haven't been bitten by the YogaBug yet, what preconceived notions are holding you back? (Injuries, time, cost, flexibility.. etc.) As always, I am here to serve YOU so thank you in advance~ Namaste

Salt Yoga!

I love my Salt family! We are working hard to prepare both ourselves and our space to give the Tulsa Yoga community a safe, loving, and playful place to share love and yoga! Namaste~

Connecticut.

I don't want to contribute to the darkness or the judgments being made. We can't fight hate with hate. Love, light, and raw compassion are our true healers. The actions have been made, the reaction is up to us. We are creating our future with the energy we are putting into our thoughts, feelings, and words in regards to today's events.. Choices~ Are you willing to take the courageous step to set aside judgment? Are you able to choose love over hate and recognize that every soul has a story? Can you take extreme personal responsibility for the energy you bring into this world and the impact you have on everyone around you? Choose LOVE, and give those around you the permission to do the same :)

BUILD.

A wise and dear friend sent this to me last night~Love is all you need!

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
LOVE them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do GOOD anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
SUCEED anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do GOOD anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be HONEST and frank anyway.
The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be
shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind.
Think BIG anyway.
What you spend years building may
be destroyed overnight.
BUILD anyway.
People really need help but may attack if you help them.
Help PEOPLE anyway.
Give the world the best you have
and you might get kicked in the teeth.
GIVE the world the BEST you've got anyway.

Firefly!

Firefly! One of my favorites, lengthen and ignite those legs which will help you lift that booty! Reach like madness through the toes, (smile & breath). Remember to be PLAYful, laugh when you fall and ALWAYS try again~ (just starting? Start with garland pose) The Firefly Pose strengths our wrist & arms.
It tightens and tones the belly & stretches the inner groins, hamstrings, and back torso. Just like most postures we practice, Firefly helps calm the mind and improves our overall sense of balance, strength, and body awareness. Get out there and play Tulsa! www.livepresentyoga.com

Namaste

Tulsa Yogis~ Have you ever wondered why we finish each class with the word, " Namaste" while we hold our hands at the heart center? If you have, your just like everyone else! Just like every other word we use, Namaste holds a different meaning and feeling to every person and society. 

It is a common greeting or validation upon ones departing. "Greetings", "Good Day", "To Be Well", or "I Bow to You".

It is believed to be an honoring of one another. Namaste is a symbol of gratitude. The teacher showing gratitude and respect to his/her students and her own teachers (both on and off the mat) and in return gives the students the freedom to do the same, allowing them space to honor and show gratitude to WHATEVER their hearts desire. Knowledge is power, so now that you know, NAMASTE AWAY~ We are all ONE when we live from the heart!

The light in you is the same as the light in me, and when we come together we are stronger. Namaste~JS

"A JouRney of a thouSand miLes begins with one steP." 

It is so beautiful to look back not just to this Fall when the SALT family was being created~But all the way back to when YOGA found me, my decision (a scary & unfamiliar one!) to attend my first of many trainings, stacking my experiences and certifications with joy. This journey and EVERY YOGI I have met along the way has filled me with lessons of LOVE that have pierced my heart. I AM ready for the doors to OPEN at SALT and for the SALTY LOVE to start pouring out, we are NOW one step closer TULSA~ 

Stay OPEN is my best advice I could ever give, you NEVER know where your next step in LOVE will lead you!! 

Give it a try!

Deep~ Personal Responsibility, Give it a try! 

"What if religion was each other? If our practice was our life? If prayer was our words? What if the temple was the Earth? If forests were our church? If holy water~ the rivers, lakes, and oceans? What if meditation was our relationships? If the Teacher was life? If wisdom was self~knowledge? If LOVE was the center of our BEing? Ganga White

Today.

Today I will Love More. I will take more Personally Responsibility. Today I will GIVE More. I will Not accept defeat by saying, "Well, that's just the way of the world." Today, I will Step Out and create change within my OWN community and stop Expecting someone else to do it. Today, I will MAKE my own path rather than following down someone else's. I will be aware as I judge people, situations, and circumstances remembering judgment makes someone else wrong. (a role non of us are truly qualified to play) Today, I will be a chameleon, moving in and out of my comfort zone, experiencing as much as I can before the sun sets.

Today, I will be Fearless, Open, and READY to receive life's Magic~

Be Still. Trust. Love

Once we see just a glimpse of what awareness looks and feels like it is almost impossible to turn our backs on it. Once that candle is truly lit, it is very tough to blow out.. Before this awareness we see and know only what we have been taught to see and know. After that candle of awareness is shining bright we begin to question everything that was once our truth, our story. We begin to question the world as we know it. 

We can break this mold. We can break the delusions we live in. If our traditions are no longer serving us, it may be time to step away from them. If we aren’t fitting into the family cycles, habits, or lifestyles, then it may be time to rethink our direction. This is NOT an indicator that those around us are living wrong. Each person will always, ALWAYS hold a different image, feeling, or description (perception) of any and all ideas, choices, lifestyles, religions, words, and feelings. 

It’s bold and dashing to roam outside the box. Begin to pay attention to the words or ideas that no longer fit. Begin to ask yourself “How can I step into MY purpose? What stories am I willing to let go of? Am I brave enough to dig back to my authentic self?” We already hold the openness and awareness we desire. We don’t need to seek it, search for it, or read a thousand “self help” books. There is a much shorter path.. “ We are searching for God with his own eyes.” 

Be Still. Trust. Love. 

Fall into Love

The fall season is here.  The trees are turning and it's time to let go, rest up, and move forward, following in the footsteps of nature. I have done quite a bit of this in my own life as I have moved into many new journeys all of which have required a great deal of letting go and stepping into the unknown! The more fears I face, the lighter I become, the higher I can fly! This is true for ALL of us. Truly, if we stay in our box, the comfort zone, life eventually becomes stale, without spark or lust. We stop experiencing, growing, and sharing. I am to the point where I must dance in all the fantasies and dreams floating around in my head and heart. The place I am today is so far from where I once was.. You too can open up more then you can possibly imagine! So lets all embrace the change of season by letting go of the delusion of FEAR, change your script and start walking in your dreams, TODAY!

Come meet me on your mats and find that playful child lusting to get out and explore! 

I will be at Soul Yoga located in Oklahoma City this Saturday from 5pm-7pm. Hot~Fun~Flow, a two hour class filled with ALL of our favorite yoga goodies! We will tap into that sweet quiet place inside our breath, dig deep to find strength we never knew we had, LAUGH, play, float, fly, SWEAT, open our hearts and hips, and finally.. SURRENDER back to that quiet place inside our breath. I hope to 

share my love of music, movement, growth, and community with YOU.

That's all for now! Much love and appreciations to my Tulsa Yoga Tribe :) 

Judge Not

Underneath anger is fear, underneath fear is pain, behind the pain is someones story. Lets not be so fast to access and judge someone's path or choices as we don't know the truth they are walking or the life lessons they are set to receive. LoveIsTheKeyToFreedom~

Saturday Morning Rooftop

Happy Friday Tulsa Yoga Tribe~ Due to the overnight lows I think it's time to call it quits for our Saturday morning class. See you at Salt Yoga Utica Square this winter and back on the rooftop next spring! Our last Vino and Vinyasa will be November 8th, look for the sign up sheet about 10 days prior to the event~ big yogi love to you.

Invert to Shift!

Hot FUN Flow!

Join me in Okc for a super fun, funky , and HOT two hour class. We will have the opportunity to play with every facet of our yoga practice by flowing, strengthening, balancing, inverting, playing, breathing, laughing, and possibly my favorite, surrendering! We will have super fun, nontraditional playlist to help us transcend into the night~ Join me at Soul Yoga in Oklahoma City and reclaim your inner spunk :) Click the link below to sign up~

Weather is looking OMazing for this Thursdays Vino and Vinyasa Live DJ! Click the link to sign up!! We are almost full~ This may be our last one depending on the weather so don't miss out Tulsa!!

http://livepresentyoga.com/Events/events.html

Truth!

I'm addicted to the movement of my body. I don't feel "normal" standing on one leg for to long. If I don't invert daily my world seems upside down. Mindless and negative conversations about other people and the world make me nervous.

I'm happiest when I can give extra long hugs to multiple people each day. I'm a truth seeker, anything less makes my heart ache. The ability to wake up each day and love the shit out of YOU, even if its from a distance, is my greatest joy.

What is your truth today?

Free Yoga!

Meet you on the grass at the Guthrie Greens tomorrow night for free yoga! 6pm

Respond to life

We must strive to respond to life rather then react. Fear, anger, and jealousy are all delusions this world projects on us. We must see through this and into the eyes of love. We are never out of place, rather perfecting placed to experience what our soul needs to peel back the layers in order to let our light shine through. When we feel challenged, lets not be so quick to say, "This sucks, Or, I made the wrong turn." Try and sit with it, see the love buried inside, peel back the layers and let your love shine through. BeYou.

Funky on the U!

Meet you on the old U at Tulsa University for sunset yoga at 6pm tomorrow. I have a fun and funky playlist for us to groove to~supported by our lululemon family :)

This weekend event is so dear to my heart. Some of the best people I have yet to meet live in Cardiff by the Sea. In my opinion it is the hidden jewel of southern California~ After several visits to the area, Cardiff had my heart. Part of my routine would include my run on the beach followed by yoga and a little meditation with the waves.. I had a CLEAR vision of myself sharing this heart felt connection I had obtained with others. A connection to that quiet inner self, the sand beneath my feet, the chill of the morning breeze and warm sun kissing my face. So here we are, turning visions into reality! Meet you on the beach and under the morning sun!

Click the link below, select "book now" and then select "BeachBodyYoga" and follow the steps~

Peace of Mind~

It takes time to build the strength and/or flexibility that a lot of poses require, but the mental piece is just as important. That voice that tells us 'I’ll never be able to do that’ IS WRONG! An open mind and a willingness to try will take us further then our bodies every knew possible~Be flexible in the mind and heart~The body will follow.

Yoga~ Confidence vrs Arrogance

Confidence. Have you talked yourself into it? Have your talked yourself so far into it your vision is blurry or fogged by your own arrogance? I believe this can be a part of anyones path who is choosing to shift and evolve with every experience. For me the ride of awareness has traveled so fast that I have not taken the opportunity to fully sit with my newly created reality.

My first encounter of a yogis arrogance showed up by watching others, our true mirror in my opinion. As I started to expand my relationships in the yoga community I begun to notice that there was a heavy fog of ego hanging around, "My yoga is the right yoga", "My students", "My practice"....  Note to self, we don't own yoga or "our students". I started to feel that this closed mindset of ego driven love was just as strong as any other group, religion, or society~it was just a different form of closed mindedness. 

Through my awareness of others I started to noticed some old thought patterns in myself that hadn't been fully scraped away. At first glance this was a hard one for me to swallow, after all I AM a Yoga Teacher, I should have it together at ALL times right?! No Ego, that's not what that means. We should strive for growth, not perfection. When we become attached to the roles we play and when we are constantly surrounded by others we can forget our own truth. It is for this reason we need to take time to truly remember Who We Are without the impact of another. "To make the right choices in life, you need to get in touch with your soul. To do this, you need to experience solitude, which most people are afraid of, because in the silence you hear the truth and know the solution." Deepak Chopra

When we come to the place of no influence, we find more personal clarity then ever before. This clarity comes with a price, are you willing to align with your own truth even if it not parallel to the map you have created? The new truth we are now aware of may take some heavy lifting and removal of old patterns and people in order to serve our GREATER good, our truth. "Even though you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined." Deepak Chopra

For me, the more I come to my mat, or just separate myself, the more I go within. The more I go within the less I will worry about what everyone else is doing, thinking, or saying. I can take more personal responsibility because I will be in my OWN TRUTH not in the worlds delusion of my truth. In this way I will show up in my own light and not in the shadows.

My definition~

Confidence~ KNOWing and living our own Truth but remaining open and pliable.
Arrogance~ The species of Pride, living closed off with the sense of complete growth already maintained.

"I shut my eyes in order to see."

Balancing Body & Mind With Yoga

Incase you missed it, here is the link to my fun time with Lacey Lett on Great Day Green Country. EnJOY~ http://www.fox23.com/content/greatdaygreencountry/story/Balancing-Body-Mind-With-Yoga/AgRQuTbqK06YXT-r9rqVmA.cspx

Twenty million Americans have found yoga to be a part of their regular routine. Yoga instructor Jennifer Skaggs is a firm believer in the practice and says it's beneficial not just for flexibility and balance, but many other health reasons. "Within the short time we spend on our mats (60 minutes or less) we have lowered our heart rates and blood pressure, released the lactic acid from our muscles, increased oxygen levels, strengthened, stretched, and elongated our muscles, and strengthened our bones," Skaggs said. Understanding the importance of yoga and how it works can help you transform physically. "We most likely cannot make our grocery list or be on a conference call while we are standing on one foot!" Skaggs said. "We need alignment, strength, and attention to balance," she said. "Let go of the ego and being okay with falling! It is here we begin to learn we need full attention from the whole body, starting with our foundation, the feet. We then work our way up through our mid line and see our entire body is working to find our individual sense of gravity." It's the small muscles that become engaged. "We find we need all of those small muscles we forget about when we are pumping iron at the gym, again balancing postures help create balance within our dominant muscles in relations to our smaller muscles," Skaggs said. "Our ankles and feet get stronger, our core and back become more stable and best of all, we get to be playful and fly like we did when we were kids!" 

SilentMiracles

Today, I will be confident enough to allow my actions to speak love and loose the need to talk about it.. It is my actions that make it real, not my words. Today, I will perform silent miracles.

I will accept that THIS life of love is my reality and any defenses that arise stem from the past. The ego within is there to protect me, not to control me. I'm going to seek constant progress and stop seeking perfection.

Today, I realize that I'm never fully grown and I will continue to expand as I continue to experience. For this reason I must remain playable and ready to shift at any moment. Don'tBeAKnowItAll~BeAStudent

Love~

"Growth can only be gradual. The seed that is sown today does not sprout into a tree the next day. It does so only in its course of time, at it's own pace." Swami Kripalu

Vino and Vinyasa~

Doors open at 8pm and class time is from 9pm-10pm~ that's right, open your eyes from savasana to the Tulsa skyline and stars. Come early for some community time with other Tulsa yogis, get out and meet new people!

Monday Mantra~

I must work to unfold into the grandest version of myself. The life of LOVE I desire won't just happen~I must CrEaTe it. Leave the shore, swim through the waters and find your paradise! HappyMonday~

Truth~

"Peace and religious harmony come about through taking action, not necessarily through making prayers and good wishes. In order to carry action out, enthusiasm is very important, and enthusiasm comes from being clear about our goal and the possibility of our fulfilling it. Here, we need educate young people about our ultimate goal, peace in the world, and how to fulfil it by cultivating inner peace within themselves." The Dalai Lama

Diet or Drugs~

We can choose ignorance or take advantage of all the info out there for us and take responsibility. I have felt the release of inflammation due to extreme dietary changes as well as experiencing an auto immune disease caused by inflammation~Thank you family farm! Papa, I love ya but those cows gotta go :) I have gone from a 100% meat eater to a 10% meat eater, I soon will be a 0% meat eater~Please take the time to educate yourself.

Do you have PLAYtime for YOURself set aside today?! Time is something we have created and then filled with the things the world/others expect from us~it is rare to find someone who fills that time with LOVE, PASSION, and CREATIVITY. BeRare~

Our Body=Energy~Our Soul=Love

Energy+Love=You&ME

LetYouShineThrough

Find stillness in your movement~Peace during the chaos~And light beneath the darkness~LetYOUShineThrough~

Choices~

I will not become capsulized, stale or set in my ways (ego) as I grow old. I will choose to open, grow, change, and shift~I will keep my heart, eyes, and mind open~I will remain pliable and filled with love~MySundayMantra~

A magical night await us! Meet you on the rooftop of Ascent~8pm

Sorry to Cancel~

My Ascent family and I have made the tough choice to call OFF Vino and Vinyasa Under the Stars due to the chance of rain, heat/humidity, and the dampness still on the rooftop~I sure wouldn't want to ruin that new sound system I bought! If you paid for the event already IT WILL BE GOOD FOR THE RESCHEDULED EVENT! I am already working on that and will have it posted tomorrow! Please share this for me so the word gets out!

Rain Policy

Incase you haven't been to one of my rooftop events and heard me speak my of cancelation policies~ here they are!

Although the radar says no rain after 5pm :) if it gets rained out the folks that have signed up and paid will be good for the rescheduled event only.

Your spot won't be held for next months event~

If I ever have to cancel for personal reasons or if the weather forces us to cancel I will always honor the REscheduled event! (not applicable for cancellations on your end)

If I ever have to cancel the Vino and Vinyasa event it will be posted on my FB on my site 5pm~

Sunny afternoons!
