Happy New Year!

It's 2011! Can you believe it? I believe it today as I struggled to get out of bed to go back to work. It was a little sad to leave my vacation time behind but I am looking forward to this new year. So many possibilities...

I started the year as I did last year - a class with my good friend, Jeremiah. It was fun because I actually formally met him and took his class for the first time a year ago. Now to see how far we've come...now we're friends who actually spent new years eve together! Along with some other new friends I've made this year. I'm so grateful to have met them.

Then I spent Sunday practicing with my very first Anusara teacher, Mark, who was back in town for the holidays. It was fun to enjoy his familiar teaching along with all the new Iyengar tips he's picked up. It was also fun to reflect on how far I've come since that first class with him.

So in all, it has been a weekend of joyful reflection. I am starting my way through the sutras again this year and with the first verse "Here, now, is the teaching of yoga" I am inspired. I have enjoyed the reflection and intention setting but am also currently rooted in the present. Happy new year to you all. Thank you so much for being a part of my life!
