THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STAY!

This weekend was nothing but beautiful! I got to do what I love the most, share the practice of Yoga & Wellness with others! 

This was my first in-person event since the whole world changed! I created @urbanyogi.one in 2017 to share Yoga and Wellness experiences with people! This need to share in-depth and intensive longer classes came from going to Yoga with so many teachers and wishing that I could Stay JUST a little longer.

When I became a Yoga Teacher, this was one of the most important parts for me, to do immersion training! I got to Yoga through Meditation, I had taught myself every Asana (Pose) I knew to that point and had been practicing and taking group classes for a few years, while also Teaching Meditation and Reiki. It was all or nothing for me, either I’d travel to another continent or I’d go to the place!!! So I went ahead and did an immersion training, stayed for a month and it was all a ripple from there.

When I named this weekend’s experience Spanda, little did I know... You’re always teaching what you’re practicing or needing to learn! 

Spanda is the Pulse and Life the Impulse. Every breath, this interaction is happening! The work left to do is to STAY! To stay with the breath, the wave, and the ideas that you choose to IMPULSE or CREATE. 

So with this in mind since my first interaction with this practice of Yoga, just exactly like when I’m on my Surfboard I jumped! I jumped into the wave with the confidence to ride it.

So now, three years later, a month after my Reiki Master Teacher Ceremony, a month after my Daughter’s first Overnight Camp Experience, a day after having a virtual meeting with my Teachers and my Sangha to plan before the celebration of our annual reunion; as I finish preparing for tomorrow for the next course of what will be a whole year in School to Graduate as a Licensed Yoga Therapist, as I write this blog so you can read it. I apply these teachings that have assisted and guided me towards the path of self-understanding and self-observation.

Staying is my Meditation. Noticing the infinite wave of consciousness as I practice trust, allowing, and detachment.

With this in mind and in the light of SPANDA, I encourage and remind you to never cease to dive in, to go deeper, and to connect to your inner, discerning, insightful, and liberated being.

Continue to vibrate, to stay, to allow, to connect, tap in, dream, create, and be the PULSE AND THE IMPULSE. The Idea and the Manifestation of life and the person you want to be. 

All the interactions, the ideas, the moments, and experiences were and are all here to teach you, to lead you, to empower and remind you!

DREAM AND LOVE HARD!!!

THIS LIFE WAS MADE FOR YOU TO EXPERIENCE!

Love,

Viktoria
