Conscious Awareness: A New Perspective

FEATURED ARTICLES

My new awareness of my awareness has allowed me to reframe some of the recent happenings

in my life.  During one of a recently nasty couple of headache days where I was unable to reduce the

pain to a level at which I could function, I decided to go home early from work.  My decision to leave

work happened on possibly the worst day I could be absent.  This resulted in my boss deciding that I was

no longer capable of effectively maintaining my job as a manager.  I wish I could say that I handled this

news with equanimity and poise; I did not.  Despite the fact that I had already been talking to my boss

about stepping down out of management for over a year, I went into a tailspin, questioning my ability to

do any job well.  After much contemplation and self?evaluation, this news has opened up a world of new

possibilities.  From a practical perspective, I am working with my boss to facilitate the change in a

manner that works for everyone.  From a personal growth perspective, I have begun the task of

reevaluating what I’d like to do to make a living and I’m finding that the options are bigger than I

thought possible; and the requirements for living are much smaller than I originally believed.  The fact

that this realization has brought a sense of space is the most unusual part of this realization.

In the past, the act of transition has brought me to sheer panic.  I put my head down and barrel

through it as quickly and efficiently as possible, wanting more than anything to get the end so I can “get

on with my life”.  Well, during the barreling, I was still getting on with my life but not in the best way.  In

this transition I am taking the time to contemplate, and reflect, and *gasp* enjoy the time of change.

About Us

The Denver Yoga Underground began in 2003 at the request of dedicated students who wanted to study yoga as a holistic system. Over the years, a diversity of people, seeking education outside of a studio, found a welcome refuge in DYU.

Today we specialize in grassroots Pay What You Can workshops, accessible retreats and our signature yoga teacher training, for the outlier yogi.
