Prevent Your Resolution From Failing This Year
Why New Year's resolutions fail.....
Why they don't have to.....
Why you should go to Yoga this Saturday.....
New Year's resolutions were made to fail, or so the saying goes. There's a lot of truth to it, and it's mostly true due to the fact that most resolutions are born from guilt.
We feel bad because we're doing something, or because we're not doing something. So from our guilt, a resolution is born.
Maybe we start going to Yoga, but even though it's good for us and makes us feel good, we lose motivation.
Soon, we give up on our resolution, and so we carry nothing to the next year except guilt.
Hold it right there....
Stop judging yourself.
START loving yourself.
If you don't show yourself some respect, you can't change or transform anything about yourself.
As long as you think you are not worthy of feeling good, then lasting changes can't be made, and transformation can not happen.
I found myself able to do so when I started doing Yoga. I became a Yoga teacher in order to share. Share your compassion with yourself, and you'll be better able to share with others.
Resolved in 2016-you are worthy of change that will make you happier because you are worthy of being happy.

In Yoga balance means many things...
In my Yoga classes, I often say that "balance is no accident". It is the perfect meeting of equal, opposite forces that meet each other at the same point.
Bringing your life into balance is just like bringing your body into balance. You have to apply force in certain places, and you have to let go in other places.Tree pose (Vrksasana) provides a perfect example. Use the pose as a Google Map for life balance....here's how:
In Tree pose, we have to tighten the inner thighs (at the hip sockets especially), the buttocks, and then pull in the lower abs. At the same time, we have to let the abs be loose enough to lengthen so we don't hunch forward. We also have to steady the standing foot, but not too much; we need to let ourselves wobble in a stable fashion while we find our stance.
Sounds a bit like navigating through life, doesn't it?
In life, we have to stress certain things, but, we must have a loose-enough connection so that things can keep evolving. A loose connection doesn't mean a careless connection, it actually means having the discipline to connect strongly without overdoing it.
In Yoga, as in life, which is Yoga, balance means many things.

Yoga For Positive Changes
Every person who starts doing Yoga and sticks with it reports some manner of positive change within themselves. It goes way beyond the physical accomplishments, which are really just a reflection of the emotional growth that a yogi experiences.
If you're thinking of trying yoga and want to make changes in yourself, here are three things to remember:
If you're thinking of trying yoga and want to make changes in yourself, here are three things to remember:
- You are a cool person as you are.
- Changes you seek are to improve on what's already positive.
- Transformation really means finding hidden things you were born with.
Our culture balks on celebrating the self. To love yourself, to show yourself compassion and understanding, is still a new thing. Because this idea is still elusive, we think it is egotistical. Yet it is our lack of self appreciation that is often the cause of egoism, of the desire to adorn ourselves with material things, seek recognizably-high status in society and control over others.
When you get to know yourself from within, you connect with your own traits and become whole. True emotional and physical balance makes you a well of positive energy that feeds goodness to you and all those you connect with in life.
Yogini Or Shahar, author of Freedom Yoga, has more cool things to say about this. Take a look if you have a moment. I totally agree with her.
