Last year I had taken a small sabbatical from being a yoga teacher. I felt as if writing, marketing and building my small business coaching and mentoring company would serve me much better -- and it did for 2007, but 2008 is my year to change, transform and merge my works together.

That didn’t mean I didn’t practice yoga. Truth be told, I seriously practiced. I was in a class nearly every day – well, maybe not everyday. :)

My business is booming, but there is something inside me that wants to teach yoga. I have agreed to teach one class this year.

See for me, yoga is about change, creation and growth. Yoga is the only practice I know (I know there are others, but I choose yoga) that can change mental perceptions, stubborn beliefs and clear and focus the mind for mental dream creation.

You can see from my many articles that I don’t write about postures, alignment or even yogic definitions. Many others write about those things and they don’t interest me. I write about the growth, creation, and transformation.

This year, I am planning to start a series of articles on change and transformation through yoga. Each article will correspond with my one yoga class that I am teaching each week this year. (I hope for some of the classes to be audio recorded, so you can at least participate and the audio lesson)

I will put this article on the forum. I would love for you to do two things for me.

#1: Look back on 2007 and tell me how yoga has affected your life.

#2: Tell me what you want to change in the New Year 2008. It could be weight lost, a new career, mental clarity, romance – you name it! What are your resolutions! C’mon let it be spoken and known!

Have a free and peaceful day.

Love and Success,

Jen
