Many things occurred to me during this process. Such as its ok to feel no matter how you’re feeling it’s ok to be mad or sad or lost or happy. Another realization made was this construct I project of someone watching me that is separate from me. This is probably some conditioning from growing up […]
The results of my efforts have been rather odd. I feel that I am in a limbo and have been waking up wondering why I’m not excited and remembering the last time I was excited was when I was in Sri Lanka where I also underwent a time of having to drop everything I thought […]
Like many students of Axis Yoga Teacher Trainings, this student came into the journey with multiple goals and found success in each of them. This journey is an example of the transformation that occurs in life when space is given to Yoga.

I hope to get back in the habit of expressing myself through my writing and to develop a healthy emotional habit. I also hope to get back into a healthy lifestyle with my daily routine and to feel better overall. […]
So journaling every day was hard for me. I did write a few times but not every day. When Brittany died I was told by the attorney’s to keep a daily journal of how I felt, what I was thinking and what I remembered being in the hospital. I hated writing. I was not ready […]
