What? ?

Free Yoga

Kunda.. what?

There are all types of Yoga for all reasons and types of people. When I took my first Kundalini class I didn't know what was going in. So many different types of repetitive movement I'd never seen in my then 8 years as a Hatha Yogi and my 16 as a mediator. I was intrigued and intimidated and boy did my arms ache. But since I was at the L.A. headquarters taking a class firm the leading teacher in the country I wasn't abit to give up. I had to overcome my expectations and give it a try to see what it was about. Besides the music wad really pretty and I wasn't being asked to chataranga (Yoga pushup).
So now many years later I love the boost of energy that a Kundalini class gives me. It works a whole set of different muscles than my regular practice and keeps my mind distracted. And did I mention the music? 
Carmen Uma Shakti is classically trained in India and here in the U.S. which gives her teaching an authentic yet modern feel. To top it off she's just plain sweet and caring. Her Kundalini class is one of the easiest to follow and understand.
Whether it becomes your main practice or like me it becomes a great addition to what you already do you should definitely give it a try.
Have fun and sing along.
See you on the mat,
Troy

Today, there are over 12 million cancer survivors in the United States, which is almost four times as many as forty years ago. These success stories are largely attributable to advancements in cancer research, to which the National Foundation for Cancer Research has remained committed.

The National Foundation for Cancer Research was co-founded in 1973 by Nobel Prize Laureate Dr. Albert Szent-Györgyi and lawyer and entrepreneur Franklin Salisbury, Sr. Over the past three decades, we have grown into a world-renowned organization driven by our mission to fund leading-edge cancer research through prevention, detection, and treatment. NFCR supports nearly 50 laboratories and numerous scientists that have helped make possible many cancer treatments that are saving lives today. Chances are, you know someone who has benefited from advances made possible by our scientists.

NFCR is proud to guide the charge against cancer by funding accelerated cancer research, providing seed-funding to leading scientists and research centers, and encouraging global collaboration within the scientific community. Our mission is to fund the most promising cancer research in an effort to save lives.

Not Alone

I'm on the cusp of great success and growth. Or dramatic failure and sadness. I chose to believe the first statement wholeheartedly. Although the other voice creeps in at times. I allow for it to exist as doubt is a part of being human and the voice of fear which we all have. That's doesn't mean it is true.
What we believe we empower. One of my Guru's instructions for Yoga Nidra is to notice how energy follows attention. That which we focus our attention on attracts our energy. Try it now. Focus on the tip of your nose. Let all other thoughts dissolve and only think about the very tip of your nose. Try it now.
I bet before I asked you to you were happily unaware of your nose. Then it became clear that all you could think about was that finite point of your nose as all your energy rushed there.
This principle works the same with thoughts. As the thought of successes comes to mind it is usually shadowed by fear. If we acknowledge the fear and release it, returning all our attention on the feeling of successes our energy will flow in that direction.
Acknowledge,  breathe,  release,  choose to focus on success. No room for anything else. There's one concession to This principle. We can not do it alone. It takes a village. If we isolate there is no power. As a solo act we can only generate a limited amount off power to engineer that belief and bring it into reality. As a solo performer the doubt and fear builds and begins to steal our attention. But by enlisting the help of others,  namely friends and family,  We begin to generate traction for our successes. Insulation to encourage action taken to manifest those successes. Others encourage us and celebrate our victories.
So allow for doubt but believe in your successes and others will too. They only ask that you support theirs in return. I'm so grateful for the love and support of others believing in my successes that I can only see them as successful in return. Watch your attention. Direct it to what you want. See you're energy flow there
Namaste Troy
