Class 1 for the Habitual Mind started today led by Pamela Quinn and Zant Chapelo, Sunday at 5 pm in Lebanon. It is an open drop in class that meets every 2 weeks. Here are all the materials and links for the first class to establish your 14 day practice until we meet again. OM […]
In Kundalini yoga you pick a meditation and work with it for a minimum of 40 days. I’ve been back from my Kundalini Teacher Training in India for about 35 days and I have to confess that it has taken me almost that long to finally find a meditation that feels right to work with […]
The other day I just lost it. I seriously became so overwhelmed with the volume of work that needed done between the seva of studio ownership, the rewards of home ownership, the thrill of pet ownership, and of course the “bestest” job ever of being a mom and schlepping kids to and fro and to […]
It’s 9 pm ish in New Dehli and I’m sitting in a super posh upgraded executive kind of suite room having just had a massage and a very elegant dinner. I can’t say that I feel quite human yet, but I’m clean and have hair that is blown dry. I love pasta. The car comes […]
So things are winding down here in India and everyone appears to be serving time until we are able to either go home or continue traveling through India. We have all done our practicals of teaching a class to each other and we had a written exam today that took around three hours. It actually […]
So today we did our practicals. Zant did an awesome job and my was not too shabby! I need to do a little work with my hair though. Apparently, your hair has to be up in Kundalini yoga because your hair ends are like some kind of energetic antenna or something. I think this will […]
can’t believe it is the 17th! Only 7 more days to go. Our practicals begin tomorrow. I’m lucky because I was assigned a Kriya that Andrea has taught many times and I know it well. I don’t want to over practice it, because I want to do an experiment and see if the teachings really […]
Day 12…. Well today we did 5 kriyas that were really really hard. Imagine going to 5 Kundalini classes not for beginners. Needless to say I’m tired. At one point, Guru Dharan forgot to tell us to let out our breath. We all nearly passed out. I’ve been singing AC/DC’s Back in Black all day […]
It’s day 11. My severe head cold moved to the nose yesterday and down to the chest today. This is a total improvement and I feel so much better. The sun is out pretty consistently now by 9 am. (It is freezing and you can see your breath at 3:30 am though.) That means that […]
It’s the 9th of February and thus the 9th day of Kundalini Teacher Training. My brain must be coming on a bit because I’ve finally figured out that if you start something on the first of the month, then the day you are on is the day of the month. Welcome to insanity. Day 9 […]
The Breath Walk Today was a great day. We did a “breath walk” through the hills of Rishikesh overlooking the Ganges. I can’t wait to teach this to all of you. Basically, you simply walk and do “SA TA NA MA” on your fingers as you walk. Many of you who have worked with me […]
Today was a great day. I think moving to a hotel and sleeping in until 6 am was key to recovery. Throat is still sore and had a slight fever today along with 1/2 of the other teachers in training here, but I think I’m going to make a quick turn around. Back to the […]
It’s 6:30 pm here in Rishikesh, India. I’m sitting in my new bed at the Nirvana Hotel. Zant and I totally wimped out of the Ashram life along with every other person over the age of 40 and employed. It was just terrible and we, along with everyone else, were getting sick from the deplorable […]
Yogis, I write this from an Italian cafe with wifi in the heart of Rishikesh, India. We are deep into it here. I think it’s day 5 of my Kundalini Teacher Training with Golden Bridges, but I have to tell you I’m not sure. India is a crazy and exhausting place, almost as crazy and […]
