Well, am I ever happy that I have yoga. If not, when life kicked my butt on the last Sunday of September, without yoga...I may have been crumpled up under my covers right now with some ice cream and bad t.v. playing in the background, (or sappy love songs)... and drool running down my face mixing with the dried tears.

Life is SO FUNNY, don't you think? It could be going just swimmingly, peachy keen, and then all of a sudden you have one of those days where it's one thing after the other smacking you upside the head, slapping you down into the dirt.

I had one of those on Sunday, but I had to pick myself up and teach yoga. So I did. While I was teaching, I noticed the events of "smackAndreadown" wanted to creep in to the yoga studio. Well thoughts, "I don't think so!!!"
Every time they tried to enter my brain and get me down - I stayed in the moment. With my students. In the room. With my breath. I put my focus on guiding the wonderful yogis through another session of DETOXING and RECREATING THEIR bodies!

Wow - am I lucky. Well, actually - I'm pretty sure the universe put all these "smackdown Andrea" events on that particular Sunday so I could realize once again that when you are TRULY FOCUSED in the yoga studio - and truly in the present moment...Then-

You are in control of whatever you are thinking, then feeling, then creating in your world.

SO, life can throw whatever it would like in my face. As long as I get in that yoga room to pratice or teach - I am always present, and focused on the only thing I want to exist.

Joy.

Thanks yoga and thanks to all of my students that got me through the HILARIOUS Sunday of life's little tricks!

Oh life, you are so funny!

Peace
Andrea
