Time to Flow

I am starting to catch onto life's jokes. I have finally gotten my life moving in a fresh way and challenging my own limits, got all this forward momentum and positive focus when...... a lovely life wrench gets thrown in. It so perfect though because how to we really create a change in attitude unless we have an opportunity to practice? Just as in our yoga practice we start to get the hang of a pose by getting to experience it over and over again, then eventually are able to master it.

So I had this amazing studio space to hold my donation class out of, but it is now being closed down. My immediate response was to feel defeat, and then panic because I will not get to teach regularly and of course that makes me sad. Plus I had just completed my classes section on my website and was feeling empowered. So all these emotions came up and I was feeling very down and anxiety of the future.

What I am practicing in my life right now is getting out of my comfort zone, learning to let go of my attachments. I have worked at the same restaurant for over eight years, I taught at a studio I loved for over three and have shifted my focus to new things which involves letting go of these safety nets that I have been able to live my life through. So in this shift I have been challenged with learning to trust in my intention and focus; my dream. But keeping a mind of positivity while on this path is going to be challenged. Beautiful things will open up like this yoga studio I have been blessed with, can also be taken away. Learning to let go and trust there will be another door opened as long as I seek it. 

In your yoga practice do you notice how attached you may become to a certain pose or a way of flowing? Do you stick to something because you think that is all you capable of? What would happen if you allowed yourself to flow in a new way? Open yourself up to experience something new and let it have both the failure and the success. Lets practice being able to dream and go for something and then ride the flow.
