Post Savasana Bliss

Wow! It's been a while!

Over the past couple weeks I started a new job at another Yoga Studio. It is a Yoga Advisor position, which essentially means sales and client services and very similar to what I was doing before. I should include that my base salary is twice as much which is immensely thrilling.

I suppose I've been waiting to settle a bit before I started blogging again and to be completely honest, I fell out of the consistency I gained while I was practicing at Pure.

My first class at Yogaworks was Sherman's Power Yoga class, which I had actually taken before at Pure. The only difference was I had been practicing 5 days a week the last time I took it. Coming into Sherman's class after a two week hiatus wasn't impossible, but I could definitely feel a significant difference in my practice and my strength.

Since then, I've scaled back to taking level 1 and 2 classes as well as OPEN level classes. I'm working my way back to where I was when I left Pure and it feels amazing.

The past couple of weeks have not been incredibly easy for me because I had to make a quick transition imposed upon me by the powers that no longer exist in my life, thank the Lord! At times I was sad, scared and angry, but I never lost sight of my long term goals and I lucked out on getting my current job pretty quickly.

In hindsight, it seems like everything that happened was exactly what was meant to happen. I'm not stressed everyday and worried. I feel confident that I'm doing a great job and my whole life has started to reflect that feeling.

Two months ago I dedicated my practice (each and every class I took) to leaving the outside world at the door and trying to let go of what was no longer serving me. Now I dedicate my practice to living and loving the "now." I focus on wishing peace and compassion to even the most detrimental characters and people in my past.

Anger no longer serves me. I find that when I lay down in corpse pose for savasana I'm no longer struggling to keep certain images out of my head. I am immersed in peaceful space and after class I feel blissful.

My goals have only been better directed and I feel a clarity I wasn't feeling prior to all of this upheaval. For instance, I am now working on a business plan for (what I consider to be) a brilliant idea. I won't divulge any details before I get it copyrighted, but I will say that it has never been done before and will be an incredible asset to the yoga industry.
