Discover Your Flow (on and off the mat)

Have you ever been doing something that you truly enjoy, when someone interrupts you and you’re surprised that two hours went by, yet it only felt like 15 minutes? That experience is called being in the “flow.” This idea of simply allowing the energy of the activity to carry you away to a place where nothing else matters, except in that moment, is a very rare and
precious thing. Unfortunately, many of us are unable to hang onto that beautiful feeling; the alarm goes off, the phone rings or the kids scream, and we get jolted out of our bliss and immediately back into our shoulders up around the ears, butt clenching busy lives.

When I teach my yoga workshop “Discover your Flow,” it's sequenced 
with the idea of aligning our bodies with how I view the vinyasa practice: free, floating, moving and expressive. This style of class focuses on easy ways to make our physical flow less strenuous and more efficient (so we can save energy for arm balances and inversions!). However, this class is also about finding that place within ourselves where we can release the hold of “perfection” and relinquish the box that we fit ourselves into – on and off the mat. 

The challenge is to find a way to let go of our desperate grip on the river bank of life, so we can be carried downstream to exactly where we need to be. Sometimes we’ll hit rocky waters and other times it’s smooth sailing. When we find our “flow” we are able to rest in each moment, knowing that we’ll be looked after. Are we ready to trust the process of what the Universe has in store for our lives?

Being in the flow is truly where the excitement of life is; resting in each moment and releasing control. Let's let go and start living!

I've never commented on a blog before, but I have been watching and totally loving your Youtube videos lately. The way you describe your view of vinyasa put into words exactly what I connect to in your flows. Please keep them coming!
