Be.

Yoga means something different to everyone.  To some it’s a way of life, something you take off the mat and incorporate in every aspect of your daily routine; To others it’s a fad, something only temporary you visit on Wednesday nights at 7pm…near the door…fifteen minutes early (no one better be in YOUR spot!).  Whatever your mindset, whatever your reason it’s okay. Getting on your mat, practicing when you can, or when you feel like it, is enough.  As a yoga teacher it isn’t my job to criticize or question your motives for coming to class.  I’m proud of you for being there, for showing up for that hour, and simply being on your mat.  That’s all anyone can ever ask of us isn’t it?  “Being” there.  Truly setting an intention to be present for those who need our love most.  Yoga has taught me just that.   It’s made things less foggy, and is a consistent reminder to “be.”  To be the best wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend, I, Allison, can be.  I fall short often, but allowing change to occur, retaining the desire to improve, and getting on the mat is what matters.  Keep practicing, yogis! I’ll be right alongside with ya ;)
