Seeking Inspiration

Hello Everyone,

First off, thank you for sticking with me - I've been moving ahead with my business plans which has taken a toll on available creative energy to write my blog! So, for the time being, I've decided to do a little project to *hopefully* inspire some writing. Last winter I purchased a great book, A Year of Living Your Yoga, Daily Practices to Shape Your Life by P.T. Judith Hanson Lasater, Ph.D.
Judith Hanson Lasater has been teaching an annual yoga retreat at Feathered Pipe Ranch, in Helena, Montana, for 28 years. When she learned that one of her students was collecting Lasater’s thoughts — which she called “Judith’s aphorisms” — Lasater decided to collect them in this book. Featuring one thought for each day of the year, along with a suggested practice, these brief, powerful insights reflect the author’s knowledge of classic yoga philosophy and years of experience. Humorous, inspiring, and surprisingly down-to-earth, they guide seekers both on and off the yoga mat. These aphorisms address love, asana, fear, trust, expectations, pranayama, suffering, laughter, presence, the Yoga Sutra, and much more. They emphasize the experience of being present to one's self and to life’s ups and downs — day by day, breath by breath, moment by moment. A Year of Living Your Yoga is a gentle invitation to readers to know themselves on a deeper level.
Until I get my studio open, I am going to follow this book and use my blog to discuss my experience. I'm hoping this will help me in two ways: 1) it will give me something to write about! 2) it will help me stay grounded while my world succumbs to the whirlwind of starting a new business!

It would be wonderful if anyone else out there wants to join in! The book is available in print as well as electronically from Amazon!
