I have a story for you. 🕉️ A number of year

I have a story for you.
🕉️
A number of years ago I experienced two specific things that had a great impact on my interest in learning more about pranayama. It was the sort of thing that you don't realize at the time, but in looking back (hindsight) I see that the trajectory of my yoga, practice and teaching, has been significantly affected by it.
🕉️
1. I was losing interest in advancing my asana practice.
🕉️
When I first started practicing yoga, I was already into fitness and exercise. But, yoga did something different to me. I felt more energized after practicing. My mind, mental clarity, and well-being improved tremendously from the practice.
🕉️
As with all things that take up your interest, I would spend a great deal of time from then on trying to learn more, trying to "get better" at the yoga poses I was learning.
🕉️
There came a time in my progression of those poses where I started to feel like it was pointless. As in my weight training years before, it felt like I was simply trying to advance to gratify my ego - to feel like I was getting further in my practice.
🕉️
When there's a shift in something that's been important to you, you sort of experience an existential crisis.
🕉️
Now, well into my 40s I have a strong suspicion that my body has passed its physical peak, and my physical "progression" in yoga poses will likely decline.
🕉️
There's got to be something deeper than progression for the sake of progression!!!
🕉️
2. I was preparing to start training teachers and more advanced students, and needed to take my teaching skills further than what’s simply being offered in drop in classes.
🕉️
My yoga career was advancing (or ready to advance), and I wanted to offer more than what had been possible in drop-in classes.
🕉️
The problem was that even though I trained and studied with excellent teachers, I didn't quite feel that any of my Western teachers had adequately explained the practice of pranayama fully to me.
🕉️
I felt that if I were going to take on the mantel of "Senior Teacher", that I should have more confidence in those next level teachings that I wanted to offer.
🕉️

Blerina graduated my teacher training 2 and a half years ago. She's from Kosovo and on holiday in Albania. The greatest part of leading these trainings over the past years is the world wide network of friends and students in every part of the world!

Reposted from @theexpatyogi We've settled into a permanent apartment, and the view is fantastic! So long Airbnbs. We're centrally located, everything is easily walkable, grocery, coffee, and the public beach! Out across the way is the Greek island of Corfu. Rest assured we'll be practicing some yoga in front of that big window.

Humble Warrior - Baddha Virabhadrasana
I chose this pose and it's variation today because a warrior displays inner and outer strength, steadfastness and resolution. At the same time there is humility, reverence, and respect.
🕉️🙏🕉️
Humility may be the single most quality that is lacking in this modern world of consumerism and narcissism.
🙏🕉️🙏
It's my hope that as a worldwide culture we further our abilities to empathize, listen, reflect, learn, and grow. Admitting that these things are necessary doesn't display weakness. Quite the contrary.

Mondays are for hip opening. It just seems like the right place to start and prepare for the rest of the week.
🕉️🙏🕉️
Theoretically, activation of svadhisthana chakra opens you for pleasure, passion, and flow. Let's bring that into our week!

Vashistasana II ➡️ Hanumanasana I've been thin

Vashistasana II ➡️ Hanumanasana
I've been thinking a lot about transitions. I'm in one, the entire world is in one.
🕉️🙏🕉️
Transitions are more than just the stages between two poses. Each moment of a transition is a pose within itself, with something to contemplate, consider, experience, and learn from.
🙏🕉️🙏
In one of my previous transitions I was closing down my fitness and yoga studio that I owned for 2 years in Portland, Oregon. At the time of its closure I felt like a failure. However, it was that very experience of owning and managing my own location that landed me as program director of a yoga school and resort in Thailand. That allowed me to create, develop, and implement my teacher training, which I've led 20 times and graduated students from over 40 countries.
🕉️🙏🕉️
What comes next is as uncertain for me as it is for anyone, but everything that's come before, has adequately prepared me for what's next. That I'm certain of.
🙏🕉️🙏
Approach each transition as you would each pose... with duty, reverence, devotion, perseverance, and presence. There's something important to be learned from your immediate experience.

Ustrasana ➡️ Lagu Vajrasana ➡️ Kapotasana

Ustrasana ➡️ Lagu Vajrasana ➡️ Kapotasana
Yogis, bend but don't break. We roll with the punches. We put one foot in front of the other and keep doing that which we must. Don't let the world beat you down when things get rough, and don't think that you're "all that" when things are going your way.
🕉️🙏🕉️
Discipline and self reflection are two hallmarks of the practice. Tapas and Svadhyaya. Now, more than perhaps ever in our modern lifetimes do we have the opportunities to embody the practice of these things.
🕉️🙏🕉️
Ninety nine percent of what bothers you is about you. Ninety nine percent of what
bothers others has nothing to do with you. Notice how you blame others for your
problems or take responsibility for others’ problems. Practice taking responsibility for
yourself, and let others take responsibility for themselves.
🕉️🙏🕉️
Make sure to take the time to get on your mats, clear your thoughts, and let the practice do it's work. It happens almost automatically, BUT you HAVE to get on your mat in the first place.
