New Paths: Teaching Flow and Restore at 808 Wellness: Kihei, Maui, HI: June 7, 2019

I’m been consumed by my new relationship with New Moon energy and following the paths of my heart that are opening, including getting bolder about bringing new material to classes.

This class was a warm up for teaching “New Moon Journaling for Sacred Self Study” that happens tonight. I’ve been preparing, well the yogis would say my whole life, but especially this week. I’m not an astrologer and never have taught in this realm so it feels edgy and new, a little scary but also, and mainly, exciting.

Through the practices of yoga we begin to see ourselves more clearly, and as we do habitual patterns that no longer serve us drop and we find ourselves in new and unknown territory. Nothing new in our lives can happen until we embrace the unknown, conquer fears, and break free from asmita, the attachment to the ‘small self"‘.

This new moon is guided by Mercury, the divine communicator. We have to quiet our minds to hear deeper truths, these divine truths. The asana today helped us do that.

I never know if the class, or for that matter, tonight’s workshop will be a “success” but I’m doing what calls to my heart and I’m grateful for the yogis who come to class so we can practice together. I’m inspired. And a thank you to the Dalai Lama who said, “The planet does not need more successful people. the planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lover of all kinds”.
