“Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!”
 

Anne Frank

“You have to think big to be big.”
 

Claude M. Bristol

“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.”

 

Johann Wolfgang Von Gothe


“Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.”
 

Goethe

Every winter we train a specially selected group of the best people ever to be the best yoga teachers ever. I say “specially selected” because The Universe only sends us the best of the best. Year after year, Philippe and I are amazed and grateful. We are blessed to magnetize the most wonderful students and people ever—both to our annual Teacher Training and to our four Yoga Centers (pranapoweryoga.com) and brand new café (thepranacafe.com).

As you begin to train your mind to focus on that which you want, your vibration and energy will quickly begin to rise and those to whom you are attracted and who are attracted to you will shift. Dramatically. It requires no effort on your part. It is a function of The Law Of Attraction—that which is like unto itself is drawn.

What do we teach you in our Prana Power Yoga Teacher Training? That’s top secret J. However I can tell you that we teach how to reach your pure potential—how to create that which you want in your life and be all and who you were born to be. We teach you how to be connected—with yourself and with The Universe and the incredible forces of creation. We teach you how to ALLOW all of the good you deserve into your life. We teach you how to spread the light and transformation of yoga to others.

Only once we are connected to ourselves in a deep and intimate way can connect with others, and teach others to connect with themselves—and others.

Only once we treat ourselves well can we treat others well, and teach others to do the same.

Only once we can allow all of the good we deserve in our lives, can we teach others to allow their miracles.

Only once we are on track to our pure potential—on our true path–can we truly teach others to find and follow theirs.

Does this mean being perfect? Rich? Famous? “Successful?”

No way.

What is “successful” anyway?

Ask ten people, Sister, and you’ll get ten different answers. It’s all relative, and deeply personal.

It simply means listening to your heart—your intuition—and following that, instead of the peanut gallery.

Maybe you’ll train with us at Prana Power Yoga this Winter 2010, and maybe not. If your heart speaks to you and says yes, then go for it my Sister.

If it doesn’t, your Training has already begun anyhow. You’re on this website aren’t you? You are magnetizing this information to yourself—so listen up!

Your Training has begun–to become who you came to this planet to be.

And with that comes joy, grace, ease, inner peace, and a whole lot of fun.

“If not now, when?”
 
The Talmud

“Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were.”
 

Cherie Carter-Scott

“The harder you fight to hold on to specific assumptions, the more likely there’s gold in letting go of them.”
 

John Seely Brown

“Truly loving another means letting go of all expectations. It means full acceptance, even celebration of another’s personhood.”
 

Karen Casey

” Think about any attachments that are depleting your emotional reserves. Consider letting them go.”

Super-Mom of the Month

Super-Mom Julia Badgley

My name’s Julia and I met Taylor a couple weeks ago when she bought a cupcake card through my etsy site, http://www.etsy.com/shop/CardsbyJeweleighaB . It’s pink and sparkly and at her request reads, “Have the best day ever!” As you all know, she’s chatty and friendly and I was intrigued to read her blog and marvel about how she keeps everything together with five kids and her career. Then SHE asked ME to be Supermom of the month. I’m a pretty good mom, but I think like most mothers, I struggle with guilt. Am I doing enough housework? (This is an area where I don’t want to overdo it!) Am I spending too much time crafting? (I justify it by saying that it’s for my sanity.) Are my boys getting enough quality time? I have to remind myself that the kids are happy and affectionate, as well as fairly clean (haha!) so I must be doing okay.

My two little boys are two and a half, and 11 months old. My husband and I were so enraptured by our easy-going firstborn, that we decided to have another one soon after, and it turns out that now he’s the easy baby while our two year old is a very busy boy; this has consequently turned me into a very busy mama who is outnumbered 3 to 1 in terms of gender. In a house of boys, it’s nice to be appreciated for my non-boyish qualities. The other day, Zach was admiring my skirt and said I was a ‘laly’ (lady). I felt pleased to be recognized as such, until he told me that was ‘funny’. That brought me down a notch or two. But really, trying to get used to a house of boys is something else. They roughhouse, throw balls at the wall, and seem to revel in inappropriate noises. And I need to get used to it because they are not me. Right?

As a mom I’ve really been trying to focus on enjoying the moments with my boys. It’s easy to get caught up in what needs to be done around the house, or the craft I want to do next, but I’ve been trying to stay present and enjoy the simple things- Zach taking my hand as we walk through the mall, Patrick’s big grin and love of music, Zach asking to read his Jesus book, and their dependence on me. These are the things that matter in the long run.
