I consider myself lucky to be training with some of the greatest and most inspirational yoga teachers in the world. Last week, I returned home from Level Two training with Baron Baptiste, and I am a changed person.
I’ve been thinking a lot about community lately. I have watched my small studio grow and grow, and as we prepare to expand into Bluffton, I have been overwhelmed by the sense of unity in my yoga community. It made me think of a blog written by my dear friend and studio manager Brittney.
I’m writing this column on the first day of Lent, trying my editor’s abundant patience with my deadline once again (sorry, Margaret). I was raised Catholic, but it has been a long time since I gave up anything for Lent. In hopes that my mother is not reading this submission, I confess that for many years I quipped that I was giving up church for Lent.
There is something amazing about seeing service in action.
I just came back from Jamaica. Before you feel sorry for me, I spent several days with some of the most amazing and selfless people on earth. Under the Caribbean sun, I was reminded once again of the beautiful power of SEVA, or service.
