 Here are a couple questions I received and will touch upon:
Friday 8:30am CST Meditation Discourse: I have been meditating on and off (mostly off) for some time. It is usually a time of focusing on my breath and that is my prevailing thought. Since taking the meditation instruction, my meditation is different (it is also not connected with a practice with the instruction). I had the oddest experience last week when I started spontaneously crying during meditation? Why would this happen? I don't recall having any thoughts except "freedom " and freedom to be carefree... Thanks Friday 730pm CST Dharma Talk: I remember you having a discussion once about how if we get deep in our yoga journey, it could affect our relationships...be it with another person or our place of employment. I'm finding that when I immerse myself into my yoga practice/studies that I began to develop a rocky relationship with my significant other. This has been the case for years, off and on. I also notice that although my response to how I handle stress on my job does improve, I'd much rather be on my mat than ever be on my job!!! The job does not fulfill me. Is the problem with me? If so, any advice on how to correct this?

I give these beloved teachers credit.
Srivatsa Ramaswami, one-on-one student of T Krishnamacharya for 33 years. He is the teacher whom I have learned the most about yoga. He's taught me Krishnamacharya's Vinyasa Krama (asana, vinyasa, pranayama), direct translation of ancient texts, e.g. Yoga Sutra, Bhagavad Gita, Samkhya Karika, just to name a few. I have learned a tremendous amount of Sanskrit through this master's blessings.

Original Ashtanga Yogis
David Swenson, David Williams, (Ricky Tran) and Danny Paradise
@Ashtanga Mela 2010. These first generation Ashtangis showed me by example how one can continue to practice yoga for the rest of your life.

The Amazing Kumar Pallana, actor, performer, comedian, yogi, taught me that no matter the age of the student, everyone must be taught to laugh and breathe.
|
Sri Dharma Mitra, circa 2009 taught me about ahimsa and devotion. The master reminds us that the goal of yoga is Self-Realization. He is as his name implies, a friend to all.

Inspired by Bryan Kest Power Yoga, through Suze Curtis, my first yoga teacher. Learn to be comfortable when uncomfortable. Listen. Respond vs. React.
