Summertime classes and workshops

Calling all expectant mamas! This Sunday from 3pm - 5p! Join me at Greenhouse Holistic for a prenatal workshop. xoxo

I am really happy for Kino McGreggor and all of her success. She has introduced countless people to yoga and definitely has a strong practice, lineage, and desire to share the benefits of yoga. I wish her a speedy recovery and hope her injury serves her in some insightful way. Her injury and the way she is talking about it on social media do bring up an important conversation. Perhaps because I approach my own practice in my body which is not the typical flexible/graceful body one might expect of a yoga teacher, or because I was blessed to stumble upon the teachers that I did (Julianna Yoga, Yoga Sukhavati), I have always been of the mindset that gentler is ultimately stronger and patience is a better practice than forceful effort. I would never ask anyone to "surrender to pain." As the yoga sutras state "heyam dukham anagatam": the practice of yoga allows us to see and prevent future injuries.

Kino's Hip: Reflections on Extreme Practice and Injury in Asana The circular argument that MacGregor transparently makes is so hard to understand, it seems to validate the adage that yoga cannot be conceptualized. Pain is described as a necessary spiritual tool...

Natalie Rondeau Yoga Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do. Brene Brown

“All I'm saying is simply this, that all life is interrelated, that somehow we're caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.” Dr MLK Jr

gah - yes! This! The first step to overcoming fear is often the hardest. I've found it really helpful in the past to start by admitting, "wow. this is really difficult and I'm scared. let's give this a try anyways."

www.yogisanonymous.com

Fear can hold us back in so many ways. It’s a completely natural feeling that we’ll all experience, but as with everything, it’s what you do with your fear (or don’t do), that matters. The root of the word “courage” is “cor”—the Latin word for heart. And when we fail to grapple with our fear, this is really what happens—we end up betraying our own hearts.

If you tell yourself that you’re irrevocably broken at some root level, if you worry that you may not be good enough, or “something" enough, you set yourself up to reject love. To doubt the sanity or judgment of the people who offer it to you. If you ask yourself who you are to follow your dreams, if you tell yourself you’re better off toeing the line because you probably aren’t special enough to do anything else, you’ve let fear stop you from exploring how life would look and feel if you were living in alignment with your intuition.

The best definition of courage or bravery I’ve ever heard is, “feeling the fear, and doing it, anyway”, whatever “it” may be. It could be that you long to ask someone on a date, or you want to ask for a raise, or quit your job, or have an uncomfortable conversation with someone. There are all kinds of situations that are challenging, that might elicit fear. And the only thing worse than someone telling you you can’t do something because you don’t have the right stuff, is telling that to yourself. Self-limiting beliefs are like the bars of a prison cell you set for yourself. If you believe in them, you’ll be stuck. If you take a chance and gather yourself up, you’ll find there’s no “there” there.

Maybe you’ve been carrying around doubt for years. Perhaps you grew up hearing that you didn’t measure up, or would never amount to anything. Maybe you’ve been hurt, betrayed, abandoned or abused, emotionally, or otherwise. So many things can poke holes in our confidence that we can see things through. Or that we can and should show up for ourselves. But feeling the fear and doing it, anyway, is such a great way to rebuild that belief in yourself.

A painful conversation might seem daunting, but it’s better than living in quiet desperation. And you’ll probably find it’s the first sentence that’s the hardest. If it’s a personal situation, you might try, “I’m in pain, and I need to talk to you.” If it’s a business associate, your boss, your colleague, or anyone else who might hold some power over you (the power to keep a roof over your head, for example), practice with someone you trust, first. You might start with, “I’m glad we have the chance to talk about something that’s been on my mind for awhile.” The same goes for asking someone on a date; practice, and remember that it’s not even the outcome that matters. What matters is that you’re feeling good enough about yourself to ask for what you want.

Few things feel worse than wanting something and being unable to act on your own behalf. Usually the fear of stepping up has to do with a lack of self-esteem, and the paradox is, if you can make yourself rise to the occasion, you’ll automatically feel better about yourself. You don’t have to push down your fear, or deny it or run from it. Go ahead and feel it, but then do it, anyway. You can be scared and brave at the same time, they aren’t mutually exclusive feelings. If you need help with that, feel free to PM me. But life is too short to leave your deepest desires unmet.

Sending you love, Ally Hamilton
