This week was sizzlin hot in LA (even though its still spring) and
in the heat I was doing some spring cleaning creating more space in my
closet and filing papers. As I was putting order to my stuff I found
myself cutting some pants to make capri's to teach in (the heat drove
me to do it), while in the process of cutting the pants I rediscovered
my love for altering my clothing and that it is ok to love clothes.
Little did I know that Mala my puppy was going to get some new digs out
of my creative moment (my being resourceful)... yes I did make two
shirts for her and she looked quite cute in her pima cotton 80's sweat
shirts...
What I love about the yoga is it's everywhere always taking us
deeper into what we value and if we tune into the flow of our heart we
can find the joy that resides inside and have an even brighter more
beautiful expression. Being creative, resourceful and finding what I
value allowed me to do yoga without even rolling out my mat totally
cool- all in all enjoying the lila tandava (the dance of play). Find
how you can do what you love and tap into something more within to see
what you have already and begin to use your resources to empower
yourself and enjoy your gifts on and off your mat.
