Hi everyone,
You just received an invite to follow the page Wild Hearts Studio. I'm tired of not being able to change the name, so created a new page. I won't be making any updates to Yoga at the Carnegie anymore - look for new info on the new page. (And be patient with me as I navigate the fun times of trying to sync this new account with instagram, google, and Canva.). 😳

Truth.

I practiced yoga for 75 days straight.

And then, the holidays came and I found myself entertaining family and caught in the busy and so I set the practice aside.

Ten days ago, I started up again.

It might be easy to think, “I am starting all over,” but that isn’t the truth. Flows and poses that would have been challenging without ANY practice came with ease.

Life is a series of starts and stops.

It’s way too easy to judge the stops as failings, but if we can just look at them as a pause, a recalibration — then we give ourselves the grace to not only start again, but to be human.

Breaks are normal.

Quitting would mean I never ever practiced again.

This instead, was a pause, and in that pause I realized, “I love this practice.”

Have grace on yourselves.

And celebrate all the starts.

They may feel like start-overs, yet they rarely set us back to day one.

Instead we are picking up, starting again, and moving forward.

And even if it is day one again, it’s day one plus all the other days.

So this was on the sidewalk in front of the studio this morning. How perfect! Dare to begin! Always, the hardest part of yoga is getting off the couch to start. 🧘🏻‍♀️🕉️🌀

by Maya Angelou,
Even the Stars Look Lonesome

Into a world which needed you
My wish for you
Is that you continue

Continue

To be who and how you are
To astonish a mean world
With your acts of kindness

Continue

To allow humor to lighten the burden
of your tender heart

Continue

In a society dark with cruelty
To let the people hear the grandeur
Of God in the peals of your laughter

Continue

To let your eloquence
Elevate the people to heights
They had only imagined

Continue

To remind the people that
Each is as good as the other
And that no one is beneath
Nor above you

Continue

To remember your own young years
And look with favor upon the lost
And the least and the lonely

Continue

To put the mantel of your protection
Around the bodies of
The young and defenseless

Continue

To take the hand of the despised
And diseased and walk proudly with them
In the high street
Some might see you and
Be encouraged to do likewise

Continue

To plant a public kiss of concern
On the cheek of the sick
And the aged and infirm
And count that as a
Natural action to be expected

Continue

To let gratitude be the pillow
Upon which you kneel to
Say your nightly prayer
And let faith be the bridge
You build to overcome evil
And welcome good

Continue

To ignore no vision
Which comes to enlarge your range
And increase your spirit

Continue

To dare to love deeply
And risk everything
For the good thing

Continue

To float
Happily in the sea of infinite substance
Which set aside riches for you
Before you had a name

Continue

And by doing so
You and your work
Will be able to continue
Eternally
