Out of my element

It's been a crazy ride for me lately, emotionally, physically, & spiritually. I started the year in a beautiful space, and by my birthday (march) I had to close the doors. Now I am again teaching in gyms. Today I taught yoga at a popular gym, and I was so worried about giving my students the perfect experience, I feel like I lost it. In my space, I created a something that would birth a moment. But in a gym, you have LOTS of noise, humming lights, people peeking in every few seconds, mirrors, mirrors, mirrors, weights on one side, huge fans and balls on the other side. It's a weird place to lay your peace out to be exposed. It's like meditating in a nursery of newborns.

But who am I to questions ones experience. I started being a yoga instructor because I REALLY LOVED giving people the same joy I have when I practice. It's the best feeling to see someone leave a class with a smile, with complete fulfillment, complete contentment. So when I got home, and told my husband about my own insecurities of a great experience he said something to me, without saying anything at all. He handed me the "Teachings of the Buddha."
Read this:

JOY
Live in joy,
in love,
Even among those who hate.

Live in joy,
in health,
Even among the afflicted.

Live in joy,
in peace
Even among the troubled.

Look within.
Be still.
Free from fear and attachment,
Know the sweet joy of the way.


Home is where I am who I am, with help. It's amazing!
