Hey Michelle,

Great reminder about staying open to possibilities of change… since letting go of the fixed idea of making money through teaching yoga, or through The Yoga Lunchbox, I feel so much freer and more relaxed. Now I’m seeing all kinds of opportunities… exciting times!

Hey Kara-Leah,
Good for you – being in a similar place to you – having to do the hustle for global yogi (except not the hustle as a yoga teacher) I really understand where you’re at. I also love the creative side of my website but find the hustle difficult at times. I am lucky to have regular freelance (corporate!) writing work that pays well and supports global yogi at least for now. And I am often overwhelmed with the number of things on my ‘to-do list’, doing the juggling act with paid work and the web hustle! But am learning just to be with whatever comes up every day and be open to the possibilities of change rather than fixed to any specific outcomes…
Best of luck with the job hunt

Hey Nerine,

It’s a conscious effort to cultivate another way to explore what it means to be human (and practive yoga!) beyond right & wrong, beyond identifying with this or that… And it’s wonderful to know that we’re managing to walk that edge. Great to have you stop by!

Hey Julia,

Love that you watched the second video before the first video… Yeah, mostly we just need to get out of our own way eh? Drop the stories, drop the resistance, and just whole-heartedly accept what’s right in front of us.

Blessings,
KL

Nick you rocked my socks off! KL, just love both perspectives without judgement…Thanks for facilitating a site which, unlike some other popular blogs/forums/comminication hubs tend to fill up with really negative comments accusing right and wrong. So refreshing! And loving…

I just watched the 1st one… (trust me to jump to the end)… “Yoga brings up ‘Stuff’, and that ‘Stuff’ needs facing”. Another wow. Thank you so much for your honesty. I’ve been rather harsh on myself of late, esp regarding the resistance towards a regular daily practice, something that I know is good for me. Something I know I NEED for my physical well being.

I have no idea how yoga works, but it works and it will be a lot easier if I just let it do its thing. Your video blog reminds me there is a process that has to happen, its normal and its going to be ok.

Thanks!

Firstly, congratulations on uncovering your treasure and making the decision to go back into the workplace. Its exciting news and you look very happy which is great.

I found that 2nd video blog “After the stuff… uncovering the treasure” insightful and very helpful for what I am going through right now. I haven’t uncovered my treasure yet but I am less scared of the feelings that are coming up and more willing to be with them. I’m at the point where meditation and ‘being with’ the more challenging emotions/thoughts is still very very hard but starting to be more doable. Hmm, I wonder if it gets easier with practice!

Anyways, watching your video blog as given me an extra bit of courage to fight the urge to take quick reactive action and given me more courage to explore what is bothering me. With a bit of luck I will find some treasure too.

So thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

Oh and best of luck with re-entering the workplace, have fun !

Thank you for your recent article about your witchy yogic demise. Yoga is of course a male system created for men – which is GREAT – for men! AND equally great for women – living in a man’s world! We all have to start somewhere! However, those dark, deep and curly places of earth, blood and fire will come if we let them, if we are open and if we are brave enough to listen to the beating of the earth’s core in unison with our own – just for a moment – in between the breathing in and the breathing out. We are earth/water- we come from earth, and to earth we return. Thank you for being one who listens.

I have been experimenting with yoga from this earth/water space and if you like can share with you some of my reflections – it is a whole new world. Warmest regards and deepest respect Wilhemeena from SOUL CENTRE
