As many of you know, my love for yoga has intensified over the last month. I attribute this in large part to the wonderful studios I have access to in Santa Monica. While I was really into Bikram a while back, it started to feel like a chore…and I craved more of a meditative practice. While this was true, I also wanted a physical challenge. Well, be careful what you ask for…
The Vinyasa and Power Yoga classes I’ve been taking are such a wonderful mix of intense asanas balanced with breath awareness and non-attachment. If I had to summarize my recent experience with this ancient art form in one word it would be: SURRENDER. I give thanks for the opportunity to become present and nurture awareness and acceptance in my life.
Check out these wonderful studios when you get a chance:
Yoga Co My favorite teacher: Jay Co (late night classes are awesome…10:30-midnite on Mon. and Wed.)
Bhakti Yoga Shala Govindas’ class is bliss…Kirtan, Vinyasa, and much love!
Santa Monica Power Yoga Get prepared to get your arse kicked by Rudy, Caleb, Vytas, and Grace (when it hurts so bad, why does it feel so good?)
Namaste. (or as rector says…nah i’m sayin)
