OJAI YOGA RETREAT - Nov 11-13th

A few weekends ago I attended a 3-day yoga retreat in Ojai, CA.   It was about a 2.5 hour drive from Los Angeles and was located in the foot hills of the mountains.   The grounds were amazing and consisted of several housing accommodations on five acres.  I have been following this yogi, Tim Senesi, on YouTube.  His cuing and style of teaching really resonated with me.   To meet him and several other students and teachers in person was a real boon.  It was a much needed get away and got me out of my comfort zone.
No television, limited WiFi,and lots fresh air and quiet space.   I had a chance to really contemplate and meditate too.  I have practiced and done yoga for many years.  Intermediate student at best.   Tim’s classes were at least 2 hours long.  I was challenged keeping up and managed to do about 90% of the moves.   I returned refreshed and committed to incorporating more yoga & meditation into my weekly wellness schedule. Committed to nailing a head and hand stand too.  I plan to attend one of his classes in Orange county soon. Tim and his girlfriend were the best hosts and did all the cooking!

PRACTICE AND LIFESTYLE

Eventually we will find that the greatest rewards and fulfillment are achieved through practicing.  Practicing the discipline of doing positive actions that benefit our mind and body.  Practicing "good"  habits that become a whole health lifestyle.  Practicing our skills that enhance our passions and talent.  Practicing awareness so our divinity can shine through.

Tried and true

When it is tough to get moving or if you are contemplating, debating, negotiating or having a little bit of excus-ism to start your workout - - just put one foot forward and get moving.  The short term muscle memory will kick in and the benefits of what you are doing will reward you ten fold.
