It's exactly a month and a half since I launched my yoga classes in Nyon and the surrounding area and what an amazing journey its been. Yoga encourages us to develop feelings of gratitude on a daily basis; truly feeling grateful for everything in our lives. In December last year I set off for India on a journey that I had been hoping to make for about 7 years; something had always got in the way and prevented me from going before. But by and by the right moment presented itself, as the great Paulo Coelho said in the Alchemist, 'And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.'; I do believe that if you wait long enough for something and commit your energies to getting there then it does arrive.
I have a heart full of gratitude to many people who helped me on my way; my boss and colleagues who allowed me to take a month's leave and to Stephan, my partner who supports my ideas, my passions, with enduring faith and loyalty. Coming back home to Switzerland in January my heart was once more filled again with gratitude to my amazing teachers in India who not only had guided me on my quest to graduate from the course as a teacher in my own right, but who supported me when it seemed unreachable, and gratitude to my class-mates as friends I made as we embarked on this life-changing experience together.
As I now reflect back on the first three months of 2014, that have been full of change and making things come alive I once more full of gratitude, to Laurent at Body-Up, Nyon who not only has been completely cool in renting me his space for my weekend classes but who has also selflessly guided me with the marketing ideas and help, to Alain at Temple du Yoga whose beautiful space I rent on Fridays, to everyone else that has had to listen to me harping on about my yoga project or has given me ideas and to Stephan who even when busy at work stops to translate, let's face it quite rare, not everyday phrases into french for my classes or for my website.
And finally gratitude to the beautiful souls coming to my classes; something individual in each of us draws us to yoga and I am honored to have been able to share with others a practice that has changed my life. It is a pleasure and a joy not only to teach and guide you in your practice but to meet new people, to chat, to laugh, to learn and to connect with each of you within this lovely community and to give something back.
The yoga journey continues for a lifetime and brings with it new discoveries. This past month and a half has been an important step on my path and hopefully yours too; so when I speak of Spring bringing new things in nature, I can say with gratitude that this Spring I can truly feel that rebirth in my own life.
Spring is here! Have a great one.
