Alignment

What I love to focus on most in my classes is form and alignment because it is universal, a right angle is a right angle.  Yes there is breath, finding the pose that fits your body, clearing your mind and so much more, but the alignment guides each person to find a more comfortable, steady pose that leads to more effective workout, stretch, and results.

I just realized that I wrote alignment is universal, and it is exactly that.  I have been experiencing universal alignment all of my life, Thank God, and I am always in awe of the connections that come about.  I feel blessed for always being connected to my gut, trusting it, and being open to possibilities.  That is what helped me align with my husband!  My roommate at the time would ask me how it was going when my husband and I were first introduced, and as we kept seeing each other I told her that there was no drama, nothing to report, nothing to talk about, it just fit, and it was just going.

Recently I was introduced to a group of women that run a children's group, they were looking for a Yoga instructor for themselves in the evening.  An amazing girl in our community that runs Babycinno, a mommy and me group that I was going to, also teacher kids Yoga at that children's group.  Not only did I meet the most amazing group of women, that are also of Russian descent, but my son was approved to go to their center and started his first day of school today.  Everyone I am meeting is so helpful, really doing their career and purpose in life 100% in order to serve and benefit the people they work with.  In the spirit of alignment my baby's speech therapist asked us today in the session to change the time we meet, that perfectly fits into his new school schedule.

Alignment is so magical.

Appreciating all the connections and feeling grateful is what being present is all about.  Sometimes you keep on hearing about enjoying the moment and feeling blessed for what you have, well this is exactly how to do it. Start noticing the magic right in front of your eyes, be open, allow yourself to receive and follow through. Many times exactly what we need is right in front of us, but we are not open, it my pass by unnoticed.

Let it in,
