What does the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears have to do with yoga?

Do you remember the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears? Papa bear’s porridge is too hot and his bed too hard. Mama bear’s porridge is too cold and her bed too soft. Baby bear’s porridge and his bed are just right, so that is what she chooses to stay with. When take this childhood story into our yoga practice we are reminded to explore different options, listen within and choose that just right action that helps us feel great in our bodies.

Looking Back, Looking Ahead

This past year has been transformative for me. Middle age hit full force and brought the challenges of sciatica, hot flashes, joint instability and the drive to address life long habitual patterns. I experienced the joy and pride of seeing my students becoming certified Vijnana Yoga Teachers upon graduating from three years of training. I cried tears of heart ache as a friendship turned challenging. I asked questions when once I would be silent. I let myself feel anger, an emotion long repressed in order to feel safe.
