first day in Mysore November 2006
I like to talk....a lot. Here in Mysore steeped in practice and ritual, lineage, and Self I am often at a loss for words, not the right words, but really any words at all. I was planning a post called, "How ever did I get here?" I often tell people that while I had been dating (seriously) yoga since I was 19 it was just over 5 years ago that I got married to yoga. Not surprisingly I got married, married the same year. My life has been changed. I have very little words and tons of emotion sharing this but if you were here in Mysore you'd know. Yesterday out of the clear blue, in the early stages of my morning practice, I was given Authorization. It was simple and direct and profound just like traditional Ashtanga Yoga....form and meaning are ONE.
I am blessed to share this with so many, my amazing American teacher, my amazing husband, my amazing family and friends, mentors, and every yoga student I have ever practiced with.
What to say?

deepest thanks
