Free Your Mind and Body - Yoga with Julia
Start 2010 With Intention...
January 2010

Dear Julia,
 
I hope 2010 is treating you well thus far. This new year and decade had a very auspicious beginning as New Year's Eve was both a full moon and a blue moon (second full moon of the month which only happens every few years!). Here's hoping it will bring us all much good luck and prosperity in the coming year!

As 2009 drew to a close I started to think about the concept of making resolutions and it gave me the same uneasy feeling in my stomach that making rules does. I realized that resolutions are the cousin of the stinging backhanded compliment (when someone cannot say something nice without giving it a caveat or an embedded insult). The problem is that resolutions often allow us to dwell too much in the negative - what we did wrong in past and should no longer do - and taints our admirable efforts for change. Resolutions push us towards behavior in the extreme opposite and as we all know, they are most often not sustainable. Just like rules, our resolutions are made to be broken and they are usually out the window before January comes to an end.

So what is the answer to this conundrum? Don't make resolutions this year, instead set intentions. An intention is an instance of determining mentally upon some action or result. Ask yourself, what do you really want? Take some time in the first few days of this new year to figure out what you want to shift in your life and and what new things, experiences or people you want to create space to invite in. Think of all of your dreams and heart's desires, no matter how wild or impossible they seem. Then take paper to pen and write your intentions down, fill as many pages as you need. Automatically things take on more validity when we commit paper to pen. Do a double check on your list to ensure that every intention stays 100% in the positive and has no hidden affronts or self-derision. Let your intentions guide you through your actions and choices for the whole year.

I look forward to connecting with each of you very soon. Happy New Year and maybe 2010 bring you good health, happiness and fulfillment of all your heart's intentions!
 
Namaste,

Escape to Shape Retreat Recap - Fall 2009



Thanks to the amazing Escape to Shape team and all who attended the trip was a great success!

We ate amazing food, drank coconuts straight from the tree, did Yoga daily in our own beach palapa, took Erica's beach walk and body sculpt classes, learned to surf and kayak, made new friends, lounged at the pool and on the beach and most importantly of all we got in great shape while having fun!
