Way back in 2006 I went on somewhat of a mini yoga tour of Sydney, trying out a few new studios, harnessing a beginners mind, and exploring different styles of yoga. When you've been practicing yoga for a while, the best way to rejuvinate your practice is to do this - to try new classes, to step out of your comfort zone and to be taught by different teachers.
Recently I happened upon a beautiful post at
The Joy of Yoga which touched on this idea - how to bring that sparkle back to your practice if it's gotten a bit beige.
I've made a big decision recently - I've resigned from my corporate job, and am heading back to a life filled with much more yoga! After putting my wishes out to the universe, to find some work that would fit in around this passion... lo and behold, the job I've landed expects us to actually go and live and breathe a healthy lifestyle filled with yoga, dance and movement!
So I hereby announce the 2010 version of the Yoga Tour. I'll be trying out lots of Sydney yoga studios, dance classes, fitness centres and reporting back here. After all, isn't a change as good as a holiday? So friends, if you're stuck in a wee rut, if you're feeling that there's more out there, pls join me. I'll report on Twitter (@shinyyoga #YogaTour), Facebook (look up Friends of Shiny Yoga) and of course here on this blog..
Here's to change, bright futures and LOVING life : )
PS
Lessons I've learnt in 2010:
1. Trust the universe - put your thoughts out there, talk about them, believe they can happen!
2. Trust yourself - you are AMAZING and you deserve all the beauty this world has to offer
3. Yoga, breath and movement make you happy
