The earthquakes in Haiti are a world crisis and I am sure you are already contributing something to their relief, even if it is just your thoughts and intentions. This weekend there will be donation yoga classes around Austin, so you can dedicate your practice and some funds to aid Haiti. Yoga Yoga has an all levels class on Saturday evening from 7-9pm at their Westgate center, visit www.yogayoga.com/ for more information. Kula Yoga has a Yoga by Candlelight class (sounds delightful!!) on Sunday night at 6:30pm, visit www.austinkulayoga.com/ for more information. I hope you can find a way to contribute and help yoga to heal all!

Happy New Year!

I have not blogged in so long that I have embarrassed myself! So, I will do a quick catch up on my holiday adventures:

On December 19th I had an accident and totaled my truck, I was not physically injured but the trauma took a few days to recover from. I left for Florida the following Monday, the 21st, and had a wonderful visit with my family. My brother and I practiced yoga together every morning for about an hour. The practice with his company was truly therapeutic. I returned to Texas on Christmas Day to have dinner with Spencer's family in Weimar, TX. His grandparents have a beautiful, peaceful home that provides a meditative atmosphere. Finally, returned to Austin the day after Christmas and started to detox myself in preparation for the Holiday Detox Workshop...which was such a pleasure to teach. Thank you all who participated last weekend in the detox workshop and for those of you who missed it, it looks like we will have another detox on the spring!

Between vehicular trauma, drama, and travel, I found a quiet ease in allowing my life to unravel. Without resistance, I let things fall apart in good faith that they would reorder in a new formation that would benefit my life. And I have to say that in these first two weeks of the new year, I actually feel refreshed, renewed, and excited for things to come.
