Yoga with Ann Lapo

I jump into the fire
Of today
of now
Taking a breath
One step closer
To transforming
The heat to lavender
To peace
My own time
My way

In the darkness, I find light
Light of now
Scattered thoughts
Reality in the silence
Steadfast
Time
Into daylight
Fire and Dawn
Heat and now
Foundation of Soul

My practice connects to a star in this darkness
Of morning
Of night
In between
Stillness of the day
This time is mine

Fire
Light
Returning
Dawn
Now

As I grapple with the term “work” – what does it mean? I think about my dad, the last 10 years of his work life a struggle to survive, in a way, I think… Fighting for survival, while shining on to do his best as an educator.

Now I, too, can say I’m an Educator & lovin’ it. Teaching Yoga is my heart. Teaching is my soul.

But the money comes to me as an Administrator – “Project Manager.”

Is the money worth the heartache? Can I retire? Maybe

But I will not sacrifice my soul

Yoga for Life:
“My favorite definition of spiritual & emotional maturity:
‘Being able to walk into a room in full possession of yourself… to be free to own the grace and beauty only you possess.’ — from Betsey Downing

Finding my vision of my strong Self, knowing my heart, my grace, my stupendous life — it’s inside, always, providing a strong foundation in all that I do and am… Let it be. Let it Be. Letting myself Be.

I notice and rejoice in the goodness within all beings.
I connect to my own heart, my own vast resource of goodness and strength.
I bring the goodness of the universe down into my heart.
It expands with Evermore goodness, courage and strength.
I offer my gifts, ever better, all good
To this day, to the world, to all beings.

We are One.

Om Shanti

Every yoga pose has its own uniqueness in my body. I am like no other.

In honor of my self – every idea had its own uniqueness when I apply my own creativity. I am kind to myself and others.

My mind and body are strong and brave, creative and kind.

I can persevere to honor myself and all beings.

In beauty and strength, I greet this day.

Namaste
