Kula

Well so my pledge to blog each week failed to take into account how busy I would be getting ready for and starting my first weeks of school this year. But I did make it through (with a lot of pranayama) and I'm finally back. While my normal practice fell behind a bit, I still practiced. I had to call on my breath a lot and I've already started practicing with my kids. I'm helping bring in the next yoga community, the next kula.

Speaking of kula, I did have the opportunity to enjoy free day of yoga today! I am so grateful to live in such a rich yoga community. I practiced partner yoga in the morning and some "house" yoga this afternoon. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Sometimes I think I can forget how important kula is, especially when I am working like crazy. I start to isolate a bit and forget how lucky we are to have this community. Yogis are everywhere in this city, welcoming us, teaching us, leading us and supporting us. I know when I have an injury, work stress, personal issues or successes, great joy, etc., my community is there.

This is one of the reasons I am drawn to Anusara. Kula is one of the key principles of the method. I hope to contribute as much to our community as I have received. Yes I have been busy but have not forgotten. And I am still teaching and serving even after a long day of serving the kiddos=) Thank you all for being part of this community! Namaste.
