San Antonio gave me some TLC

Ahh just got home a fun day in San Antonio :)
San Antonio was a blast and I tell you what, Yoga In Motion (http://www.yogainmotionsa.com/) is one of the most beautiful and special studios I've EVER been to.
It's so beautiful and unique with such a warm and meditative feeling... I will leave it to you to make the road trip sometime and experience the space for yourself. We worked very slowly but went deep into our hips in many variations. I brought to the studio a little Shakti Bhakti as well, and with the exception of my guitar being HORRIBLY out of tune to which I wanted to stop because it was so painful for me (hoping most people didn't notice-if you aren't really musical, you may very well not have...) but I had built that song up from a very personal and painful story in my life that brought me to the "Light". Quickly and sadly if I'm being honest (because I had more with the guitar, but it hurt so badly!lol), I put the acoustic down and picked up my shruti box which always brings out the inner meditator. I was moved, so moved, to hear the voices singing and chanting along with me...
I have to say THANK YOU to my sweet new fried and sister, Effie, who I have such a soul connection to, for having me and to the many students of the San Antonio tride there. Often in these situations I get ahead of myself in excitement and skip one of the most important parts and that's hearing your beautiful names... so next time (Effie mentioned, September, we will get together on that soon) I already have a plan for this :)
In addition, I would like to share that it says SO much about Effie and what her and the other teacher's there have built, in being witness to the expressions, gratitude, and excitement of those who shared their practice there with me-with us all. I humbly bow to you all in thanks. :X
Well I got in later than I had initially thought I would so I missed a new class I planned to attend. No worries, I pulled into the park on 4th a Guadalupe where there were ALL kinds of events going on down town... I didn't even grab my mat...just my sunglasses and purse and I found a comfy place (after posting a "tweet" on www.twitter.com/saniehyoga about it in case anyone wanted to through down some PDY *public display of yoga* with me :) and after about 3 or so min of folding in half and feeling down dog, I found myself upright opening my heart in standing drop backs and coming back up... for about 15 min. straight :) Sometimes, a good, mindful heart opener is most healing, most profound and what MATTERS most. I felt fantastic breathing in the fresh air, standing with my feet in the grass, and allowing myself to open up in preparation to receive that which my heart so freely and lovingly gives...nature is always so healing and grounding to me.
So now I'm home. I'm home and just unwinding a bit before going to my patio to check on my new herbs of basil, mint, thyme and my lavender plant :) They are like my new babies that I get to nurture. The most thoughtful and greatest gift (thank you) I could have been given...
What else... oh I got an email about my new website so now that I'm on my desk top, I should check that :) Still haven't opened the Face book account yet (Sorry Michelle!) but I will ... since I'm re-doing the website, I want to do it all at once... but my Tweetin' twitter is up... oh, already mentioned that above... here it is again... :) www.twitter.com/saniehyoga in case you missed it :)
Well I've got a few events coming up and the new Summer Texas Yoga Retreat http://www.texasyoga.com/schedule.htm is one of them on Saturday June 13th and on June 14, I've teamed up with Lululemon Austin to do a "Shock your Body, Rock your Body, Sizzlin' Summer Bash" with 3 of your favorite Austin Ambassadors :) ... (more to come that will be updated on my website and in my newsletter very soon)
