I just finished teaching my first workshop series on Pranayama today. It was a great journey to share and of course I learned a lot along the way, which never ceases to amaze me. It covered the basics of Pranayama, what it is, how to discern it, purification practices, breath work to strengthen prana, the energy body's system and anatomy and a few forms of meditation. I plan to offer it again in the Fall. It may be slightly revamped, too.
On another blissful note. My beloved Guru, Ma Jaya, was here in Atlanta last weekend. She blew me away and left nothing but the true Self standing. oh. my. god. My gratitude has never been deeper. Can't wait until she comes back in October.
I will be gently moving into summer sabbatical of sorts in a couple of weeks, teaching a little less and studying more, through the breath, through art and wherever else my intuition takes me (hopefully the beach at somepoint.)
And so I leave with this quote from my Guru:
"The Self is the source of Shakti on every level of one's being."
-Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati
