Keep it simple

Two days into the level 2 AcroYoga teachers training in Oakland, California. There are over 30 amazing teachers who have come together from all around the world. Collectively we have hundreds of years of experience to offer and the desire in the room to share knowledge and transmit information to one another is so palpable. I can feel everyone so eager to connect and play because deep down that's what we all want and this group is so open and has very few boundaries or resistance. However, we are reminded by our fearless leaders Jenny and Jason; founders of the practice that we are here to become stronger teachers and leaders in our communities.

We have spent the first two days reviewing the fundamentals of the practice. These are all things that we know already but the intention and focus is on bringing a sense of freshness and beginners mind to our offering. Granted there has also been time to jam and share what we do best and it has been such a rush! I know this is only the beginning and there is so much more ahead; and while it's so easy to get caught up in the fancy stuff I am reminded of how powerful it is to introduce this practice to someone who has never flown before. The experience of simultaneous surrender and support is beyond words. It is about two spirit beings, two bodies connecting and being held. I remember my first flight and how amazing it felt. This practice has the ability to touch so many people in a really profound way. Aside from the physicsl benefits, this practice can allow for deep emotional release too.

Regardless of the languages we speak, we can connect in a very deep, fundamental and nurturing way. There is so much support within this community and it feels to me that we are creating the building blocks that have the power to impact so many lives. The time is now! This is a very auspicious year for everyone and it's simply a matter of perspective. I choose to believe this is going to be the biggest year of growth and positive transformation, not just for me but for the entire planet.

So as I practice with this group of amazing teachers, I feel supported by the abundance of the earth beneath me, I feel rooted and connected to the centuries of wisdom that lie beneath my feet. I feel supported, safe, held and heard by the entire universe. I am focusing on creating a powerful voice, presence and contribution in this world and I am buzzing with life, enthusisam and love.  I feel I am getting very clear on my purpose. We always ask ourselves the big questions of 'why am I here' and 'what am I meant to be doing in this life'? I realize I still have a lot of life eperience ahead, but in this moment,  I am exactly where I'm meant to be. I'm doing work that I love and I feel so fulfilled. I am gaining my power through clear speech and an open and honest heart. I am living my truth and I am so happy. When I close my eyes and look inside I see so much light and vast potential. The entire cosmos appears before me and I am humbled beyond words. There is so much goodness in the world. It always blows me away. It's always so simple when you break it down.
