How to Live Your Dreams

Posted on by

“We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.” -Roald Dahl

Guess which one of us is the music maker or dreamer? Is it possible we could be both?
Love yourself enough to live from possibility.

What you may not know is I studied music for 13 years and Jim is an incredible writer besides what you may know already.

Individually we have both intentionally chosen to live our dream. We both left the corporate world to follow our bliss. We’ve moved to another part of the country, we’ve actively pursued a life we love.
We can tell you how we did it. We can support you in making the changes you want for your best life. Come live in possibility and you’ll transform the way you see yourself.

Reignite Your Passion

Posted on by

Practicing yoga helps us remember to celebrate life. During class we burn off, sweat off, twist off the spiritual amnesia (forgetting what fires you up!) In a nutshell it reminds us about what we love about our lives: Dancing, hiking, playing piano, running, cycling, painting, traveling. Forgetting what you love to do is a form of self-sabotage. For instance, if you forget about your dreams, then you never have to risk failure. However, just because you’ve decided to ignore your passions doesn’t mean they no longer exist. Besides life is too short to stop doing what you love.

So today invoke the Fire Element, known in sanskrit is AGNI.

passionpurposeFire is the energy of transformation or change. If you think about the power (Shakti) of fire it can take metal and change it into any shape. Fire is also symbolic of rebirth. It cleanses, burns off the negative and energizes one to light the path forward. Then we move confidently in the direction of what we love with great PASSION.

It is visible to everyone. You can see it. In the words of Philosopher Hebbel, “Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.” And no one else can tell you what fires you up, only you can decide “how to set your life on fire” -Rumi.

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
~ Harold Whitman

Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it and hold true to your biggest dreams! Love yourself, love your day, love your life! Silvia @inspiredyogagal

Radical Change and Happiness

Posted on by

Happiness Rx: “Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security.” -Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild (Mission of Alchemy Tours)

Full Moon Energy of Change

Posted on by

Full Moon energy is a potent time to align and release what is no longer serving you.

The perfect mantra for this time is: I AM READY FOR CHANGE

This is very 2nd and 3rd chakra work and being on the mat will reveal what is necessary for us to allow our evolution to unfold. We get to see where we have resistance to change. Or where we doubt ourselves or hesitate which are forms of resistance. We all know what we want, what we need, what we are ready for and often replaying old patterns serves to hold us back.

I would love for you to empower yourself to know that YOU CREATE YOUR REALITY. You can influence your life in a dark way or change it out and dream big and each day of your life becomes as Rumi writes “a day of festival!” Yes, it really will if you allow yourself to keep evolving in the direction of happiness which the yoga sutras say is our natural state.

Start now: I AM READY FOR CHANGE.

Love yourself, love your day, love your life! Silvia

Who are the World's Happiest Countries?

Posted on by

This is the list presented by the good work of Eric Weiner, author of Geography of Bliss who visited 10 of the happiest places. These include:
*India,
*Bhutan,
*Thailand,
*Switzerland,
*The Netherlands,
*Qatar,
*Iceland. (for the other 3 we encourage you to read his book)

This is one of my favorite books and continously inspires me to travel and see the world as a catalyst for personal development. He talks about “How place – in every aspect of the world – shapes us, defines us. Change your place, I believe and you can change your LIFE.”

Love yourself, love your day, love your life! Silvia

Growing Through Self-Study Benefit of Yoga Teacher Training

Posted on by

“Growing is the most important and essential endeavor that a human being can undertake. You can make money, you can be promoted or demoted in the world. Never, at any stage, is there certainty about what will happen to you in this life. However, there is one thing nobody can ever take away from you-the growth you attain through your own search for Self-knowledge. Furthermore, this growth and understanding become the foundation that sustains you through any and all worldly difficulties, and that allows you-whatever the form of your physical experience- to find in life a continuously unbroken flow of total well-being.” — Swami Chetanananda

My Alchemy of Yoga RYT200 Teacher Training (aka Self-Study Program) was created from this intention that our growth and personal transformation comes as a result of knowing ourselves better. I want to give you the support, space, and time to get a Master’s degree in YOU. There is no better subject to be expert in that yourself.

Join me in Costa Rica this July 31-August 18, 2013 for this incredible destination RYT200 Yoga Teacher Training Program hosted by The Sanctuary at Two Rivers!
