Here is a glimpse into my life and my amazing students and wonderful memories from my recent travels and yoga teacher trainings.

I started my week off with a strong vinyasa practi

I started my week off with a strong vinyasa practice, and it's very hot and humid in the Mediterranean region this week. It felt like hot yoga, and of course it left me feeling fantastic. Speaking of feelings, today is also International Yoga day, and I feel... I sense an excitement in the air that we haven't felt for a long time. It feels as if the tension, uncertainty, stress, anxiety, disconnectedness, fear, and frustration that has permeated much of the past year and a half is lifting. I suppose that makes this "yogi" holiday quite auspicious.
🕉️
May you take time today to move, to sweat, to reconnect. For when we are all shining from those yogic vibes we can collectively raise this vibration, and turn this new corner together.

We continue to explore Albania and spent a couple of nights in Gjirokaster. We love seeing old castles, so of course we explored that, took in the views of the city and surrounding areas, sampled some raki, and explored a Cold War bunker deep under the castle.

2 nights in Berat. This was a really cool city to visit with a medieval castle in ruins, and an overall history going back over 2,000 years. Put it on your must see list when you visit Albania. It's picturesque, quaint, and the Albanian food is fresh and delicious. Berati olives are the best olives I've ever had so far.

Is yoga a noun, a verb, an adjective, or a state of being?
Examples:
I'm going to practice Yoga (n.)
🧘
I'm going to Yoga (v.) the TRX
🧘
This pose is Yogic (adj.)
🧘
Or
Yoga is the process of living skillfully, of bringing purpose and intention to your actions.
🕉️
Or
Perhaps this picture has nothing to do with yoga since it's not a typical "yoga" posture. Then again, since 90% of all yoga poses were likely invented since 1900, what actually does qualify?
🕉️
I guess if there's a point to this ramble, then it's "It depends, and that context matters." That life, that yoga, that everything is complex and made of many shades. What we think that we know is probably not all of the information in context. May we practice more patience and be mindful of jumping to conclusions on social media.

We've been quiet on social media, but did just experience an epic road trip. We spent 17 days on the road with my father-in-law. Normally, no one would want to spend that much time with their in-laws 😆😆
However, we haven't been to the United States in a very long time, so we have to utilize the time we have.
I did enjoy getting to know him more over many miles, and it really was the greatest road trip I've ever taken.

Notable stops:
Las Vegas, Nevada;
Zion National Park - Angels Landing Trail;
Denver, Colorado;
Estes Park/Rocky Mountain National Park;
St Louis, Missouri;
Gateway Arch National Monument;
Springfield, Illinois - Abraham Lincoln's Tomb;
Tulsa, Oklahoma;
Santa Fe, New Mexico;
Flagstaff, Arizona;
Grand Canyon National Park;
Lake Havasu;
Joshua Tree National Park

I'm most fascinated by the basic yoga poses. These take you deeper into your practice than all others. When you practice a pose thousands of times it becomes instinctual. It's as if you transcend the shape, and discover deeper truths.
🕉️
What are you made of? What is your essence? Will you fight as the warrior? Your battle is ego, it's aging, it's forgiveness, it's surrender, it's guilt, it's pride, it's self doubt, and it's the voice in your head that holds you back even though your truth requires that you press forward.
🕉️
You finally arrive to those answers when you work through the shape, the breath, every nuance, stretch, engagement, and explore from the soles of your feet, to the deepest activations of your core, and even the subtle tensions of your neck, jaws, and temples. The mind becomes still, and then you see.
🕉️
What does it mean to be "you"? Where does your direction lie? Discover it all on your mat with discipline, with patience, with perseverance, with practice!

5 Years Ago Today, Ali Choi and I married each oth

5 Years Ago Today, Ali Choi and I married each other. Here's a funny story about that day that we haven't told to many people...
🟢
We decided to have a small courthouse ceremony. Having family fly in from different parts of the country seemed too complicated. We were planning on leaving the US indefinitely, and didn't want to spend a lot of money. We did it justice of the peace style with a few of our closest friends: @israelbayer @legslikesummer @mckathleen623
🟢
It actually turned out just the way that we wanted, with no stress, and we took our friends out afterwards to one of the most amazing dinners ever.
🟢
However, the really amusing part happens a couple of days later. We received a phone call from the judge who presided over our ceremony, and she was very apologetic, but she informed us that our marriage permit had expired on the day before our ceremony. She admitted that she should have caught that detail when she scheduled the time with us, but that unfortunately our marriage wasn't official.
🟢
She asked us if we wanted to schedule another. But, we were due to leave Portland the next day. We had a plane to catch to Los Angeles to visit with Ali's parents before we left the US.
🟢
Needless to say, we were kind of distraught and upset about the whole ordeal. We didn't tell our friends who attended for several years because we didn't want them to feel that they didn't "really" attend our wedding - By the way, we do consider that still our official wedding even though it wasn't our legal marriage.
🟢
We did a little research and discovered that we could obtain a license and get married on the same day in Orange County, California, so that's what we ended up doing.
🟢
We had a second justice of the peace ceremony and Ali's mother was able to attend as our witness. It was special for all of us that she was able to participate in this as well.
🟢
So even though we count today as our official anniversary date, it really isn't, and in our sum 8 years together, we have married each other twice.
🟢
Happy Anniversary Ali Choi!
