The key is to realize the difference between opinions and clear-seeing intelligence. Intelligence is like seeing thoughts as thinking and not having opinions about whether those thoughts are right or wrong. Opinions are opinions, nothing more or less. We can begin to notice them, and we can begin to label them as opinions, just as we label thoughts as thoughts. Just by this simple exercise we are introduced to the notion of egolessness. All ego really is, is our opinions, which we take to be solid, real, and the absolute truth about how things are.

Budokon Yoga Workshop

THIS SUNDAY!!!!!
Time to add some movement therapy to your journey! Meet the resistance and see where it takes you, how will you react in movement? How you react to practice is how you react to life. Learn to harness your inner Yogi and accept and honor where you are in every moment.

Do you do Vinyasa Flow Yoga 2 or more times per week? Is your practice becoming easier? Mix it up with Budokon Yoga and make your already amazing practice more fluid and strong. Cross training, in any sport, is the best way to your physical best!

Here it is!!!! Coming October 16th Tahoes FIRST Budokon Primary Series Workshop! Come in and play your way into shape!

Stepping outside of your regular practice, your comfort zone, is the only way to fully master the mind. When you can see where you are stuck and step into the moment you find strength and learn how to harness your body as it moves through this world. Budokon will take you into new movements which you may think impossible when you start, but as with anything, the more you practice and get the muscles to register what you are asking you find the technique to make your practice both easier and harder! Share this with friends! THIS WEEKEND is the start of this Budokon Workshop, you think you have your practice mastered? Wether the gym or the mat, the best way to become better at what you do is to train at what you don't do!

Here it is!!!! Coming October 16th Tahoes FIRST Budokon Primary Series Workshop! Come in and play your way into shape!

A huge shoutout to one of my students! Trina Padden is a true Budokon Badass! Since March this woman has been making practice her imperfect perfection. When Trina started Budokon she, as with every other person to step into this class, met her resistance. Trina honored her practice and her body and with the help of props and the will to be her best, she moved through sequencing with grace, when she found where she got stuck she pushed aside the need to control and took the time to listen to both me and her body. Now this warrior is moving through poses with a smile and a laugh. Trina, you inspire me! No matter how hard the practice you take the bull by the horns and keep moving, this is why you are where you are, not just in practice but in life. Trina doesn't believe in excuses, she works hard, as I believe she knows hard work is worth it! Beyond all of our dreams lies the will to be our best, what we do with our ability is up to us. Be your best, move at your best, love, live and laugh knowing you did your best today to be your best tomorrow! Osu and Namaste Warrior princess! You deserve a huge high 5 and a big slap on the b***y for a game well played!

Can you sit with your Self and observe the conversation that comes up? Sit with your deepest soul, your inner self as you would sit with your best friend. Sit alone and feel as though you are surrounded by the world. The gratification we get from treating ourselves as we would treat others floods into light and love for our Selves. It is not selfish to do this, it is in fact selfless to be able to Love our Selves enough to Love the rest of the world. That is where mankind has gone astray, we don't Love our Selves enough, otherwise would we be treating the world and each other the way we are? So today, sit, for 5 minutes if you can, and ask, Do I Love my Self? See what comes up, and maybe, just maybe you will see that you are enough and you are worth all the happiness in the world. Once we all realize this the world will begin to heal, but it starts within. It is our personal choice to be happy.

Namaste Osu

Finding your edge, the place where you become challenged, is the gift in the work. How you handle challenge and resistance to practice is how you handle challenge and resistance in life. When you meet the challenge do you become overly rigid? Isolating the flow of life? Do you breathe, accept the challenge and try to balance your body and mind with the environment you are in? We are capable of things we don't even think possible. If we continue to protect our internal integrity and resist the challenges we forego our growth. Our chance to observe Self. Our chance to see our true nature and honor it as such. Gift your Self the gift of challenge! It's why we are here!! Today, and everyday, don't forget to have gratitude for everything you are handed. It is your personal gift. Your personal story.

Namaste
