Yoga Teacher Training ~ Play. Flow. Blessings.

I completed and graduated from my Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training Level 1 for over 2 years.  Since I began practicing yoga more than a decade ago, I realized I wanted to deepen my knowledge and my practice.  I had strong intensions to take a yoga teacher training... I just never knew which one!  Nor did I give any real thoughts to expectations on what I was going to experience.

I can tell you that this is life expanding experience (once I was able to surrender my mind/ego).  For me, it was a single intentional step that elevated the consciousness for the thousand+ miles journey ahead.  In the time & space of my 20's, I had already travelled extensively on our physical planet.  NOW, I found that myself on this unknown path from my navel to my heart.  This was the beginning of a journey within ME to find Myself!

Did I have a desire to change my life? Yes. Dont we all?? 

Did I hear a calling?  Initially, no.  I did hear a strong calling of my soul during childhood -- but somewhere in trying to "grow up", I got lost in the shuffle of achieving.  In the process of graduating from college, getting the $$ white collar job and living it up, I simply felt lost & empty.  Why didnt I feel joy & pride?  The real kicker was when my body physically started to revolt against this cold depression; first with tendonitis, then extreme fatigue.  It got to a point when I felt physically ill being in the office setting.  Finally, I had to tune-in inward to hear my soul breaking its silence.   

Was I prepared for the experience?  I thought that yoga teacher training was going to be fun and easy...some light reading, simple exercises and guided meditation.  If I knew how much hard work within I had to do or what kind of inner blocks I had to work through, I might have ran the other way!

My experience changed and transformed my life.  Daily, I work on living and serving with grace, love, deep gratitude, humility, reverence and joyful awareness.  My consciousness cant crawl back into the darkness of the forest.  It was shaken to a depth that would have taken me a lifetime using just my own observations.  I am now living a life beyond my wildest dreams and to my own design!

I am ever grateful to find a community of such wonderful support.  We took the first steps of happiness together, by committing to ourselves.  My tribe of fellow Aquarian yogi souls ventured forward from darkness into light.  Over the course of the 9 months training, we allowed ourselves to be fully present for this our own re-birth.


Our characters are strengthened.  Our old habits were investigated and dissected.  We affirmed our dignity.  We got in touch with the Universal Highest Divinity.  As the light beings that we are, we shine our grace.  We found the power to sacrifice, choosing Love over Fears.  

And so we march onward... expanding this continual spiritual growth and experiencing pure bliss!!

OFTEN LIFE 
is about embracing change. So it’s fitting that the subjects in our Spring issue are very much in the vanguard. We, now more than ever, need to change our habits to be in harmony with the Planet. Be Bountiful, Blissful 
and Beautiful.

Be accepting of yourself as a whole person who does not need to believe in something outside of yourself. Embracing this shift and this spiritual transformation will influence the rest of humanity. LISTEN. SPEAK. SEE.

We have those words as we settle into the Aquarian Age. Celebrate more Life by benefiting from yoga & meditation to get rid of judgment (page 4). There is a greater need to develop our capacity for serenity by keeping in mind the 5 Sutras for the Aquarian Age (page 10).

IMAGINE. “You,you may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope some day you’ll join us. And the world will be as one.” Dedicated to the World by Peace Advocate, John Lennon.
Enjoy.

OC Weekly reports: Mental Physix Want to DJ Your Yoga Class


OC Weekly is ...  
putting Mental Physix 
on OC's spiritual energy radar!

OC Weekly: http://blogs.ocweekly.com/heardmentality/2013/05/mental_physix_yoga_djs.php



Mental Physix is balance. Mental and physical. Yin and yang. Deep beats and yoga. The place between the paradox.





Mental Physix are a DJ duo made up of Crisanto Santa Ana and Dru Ali. Their mission? To explore the fusion of music and yoga to "create a divine union of healing, through self-realization and sound." Both Santa Ana and Ali perform at yoga studios while Vinyasa classes are going on, and the experience -- with both the yogis and the DJs feeding off each other's energies -- is intensely spiritual. Last month, Mental Physix took their Technic1200s on the road and toured yoga studios around California, Nevada, Colorado and Utah.
On Saturday, Mental Physix will be performing at the One Consciousness of Love and Light Festival (www.1ConsLoveLight.com) in Anaheim. The festival will feature meditation, dance performances, lots of yoga and healthy, organic food served throughout the day.
Why play live music for yoga?
Santa AnaMusic for yoga is unique. Certain tones and frequencies can enhance your practice and bring you to a certain level of vibratory frequency. Music during yoga can create calmness or raise the intensity of a practice. Yoga is like a dance, and we provide the soundtrack. Doing music for yoga also allows us to assist teachers in creating an amazing playlist -- freeing up the teachers time to focus more on their flows. Having a DJ present in the studio adds another exciting element, allowing the DJs, teachers, and students to exchange and feed off one one another's energy.
AliMusic adds depth to the practice and can help take you on a journey with the flow of the class.
How have people reacted to your music during classes? 
Santa Ana:
 The reception to our music has been amazing so far. We've been receiving great feedback both from teachers and students. This overwhelming support has motivated us to further our movement. 
Ali: One of the craziest things we've heard was that someone felt like they had an outer body experience by the end of the class!

Did u catch the Gestation (ART PIECE) in our VIDEO?


Gestation (ART PIECE)

Santa Monica, CA



Gestation is located on the edge of the continent and its central opening frames the elements of water, sunlight, earth, and air-the dynamic relationships that foster creation, regeneration, and birth. The form of the sculpture grows from this circular central opening into a structure that allows visitors to enter the form and rest within its quiet embrace.

When the Sun appears in the top of this aperture, it announces the beginning of the solstice season. Each day the Sun will appear lower in this aperture until the day of the Winter Solstice. On this day the Sun sets exactly in the middle of this opening, marking the celebration of the rebirth of the life of the Sun-the conception of the coming birth of Spring.

WSJ reports: Doctor's Orders: 20 Minutes Of Meditation Twice a Day

Researchers are exploring the 
benefits of meditation on 
everything from heart disease to obesity. 





Integrative medicine programs including meditation 
are increasingly showing up 
at hospitals and clinics 
across the country. 
Recent research has found that meditation can lower blood pressure and help patients 
with chronic illness 
cope with 
pain and depression.
While it is clear that "when you breathe in a very slow, conscious way it temporarily lowers your blood pressure," such techniques shouldn't be used to substitute for medications to manage high blood pressure and other serious conditions, said Josephine Briggs, director of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, part of the National Institutes of Health. In general, she said, meditation can be useful for symptom management, not to cure or treat disease.



Recent research found that meditation can result in molecular changes affecting the length of telomeres, a protective covering at the end of chromosomes that gets shorter as people age.
