Inspiration: To continue to become humbled on a daily basis.
It was a weekday afternoon. I make my way over to the Apple Store on West 66th and Broadway. Not to buy a computer, but to take a workshop on how to use my IPhone. It has taken me to late 2013 to retire my old and loyal Blackberry and join the multitude of IPhone lovers. Mostly because I was married to its keyboard and fearful of the completely touch tone screen, Who knew it would be so freeing!
So here it is 3pm and a small group of us gather in the back of the store to learn how to manuever this thing. I have had mine for about two months now and have managed to learn a bit, but I thought starting with the basics was good. Well let's just say I was the youngest of the bunch at a ripe age of 47. There were six of us in total and the teacher was late. One woman said she was on a schedule and couldn't wait any longer. It was a good thing because the "energy" of the rest of us was open, playful and eager to learn.
So finally the teacher arrives at quarter past and we begin. Two lovely women next to me made me look like I was a pro. The questions asked (including myself) to an adept user were a bit ridiculous, and our "guide" had to show us a myriad of times the answer to the same questions. Some didn't even know what version of the IPhone they had since they upgraded their operating system online. Make any sense?
I just smiled and smiled. My eyes and heart filled with wonder and possibility...Wow I thought. Beginner. Yes. Learning through new eyes. This is what it must feel like when I tell people I teach and love yoga who have never done it. A loving and gentle reminder to me what a true beginner feels like. In the land of Apple, I am pretty much as uneducated (always a choice) as it gets. A true beginner whose eyes have been cast wide open....
Do I now know how to use the damn thing? A bit better than before and I will continue to learn and explore on a daily basis. Not just how to use my phone, but to view this beautiful world through childlike eyes and wonder. Learning. Always learning. That is how we grow.
What would you like to learn??? Pole-dancing (check), drumming (check) and the list goes on....Your turn.:)

The Cat Came Back
Inspiration: To continue to believe in the kindness and compassion of others.
Walking down the street last week en route to yoga class, I noticed something odd...A cat running loose on West End Avenue. I wasn't the only one to notice this. There was a couple nearby who also seemed a bit concerned seeing this adorable creature roaming the city streets.
Our paths collided and we were trying aimlessly to stop this fearful cat from running under the nearby parked cars and possibly into the street. Finally, we were able to corner it in the entrance of a small building while eagerly attempting to look at the collar adorning its neck. Moments later, another woman walks by seeing what was transpiring and offering assistance.
After locating the cat's owners number, a phone call was placed. As I overhead the exchange, it appeared that the owner who answered the phone, seemed to be quite non-chalant. As if it was normal for a cat to be out and about. They didn't (at least from the tone of her voice) appear to think this was an urgency. Yes, cats should definitely roam freely when then need a bit a fresh air; especially in NYC. Don't you think?
Anyway, I had moments to arrive at my evening yoga catharsis (cleansing) but was able to stroke the cat along with a fearful and nervous man who was crouching to keep him from running away. So there were four of us; me stroking, the guy holding, and the other two woman eagerly awaiting the owner to show up.
Minutes later he arrives. I slowly apologize (in the distance) for having to take off but I manage to overhear the owner saying something like, "Oh, where was he. He usually goes only on this block." To him it was no big deal.
To the others present, it was a very big f**kin deal ! Just goes to show you, there are many levels of awareness, caring and urgency. What really hit me was that it was a reminder that what one person views as urgent, another views as it's no big deal.... But what I did love about this incident, was the kindness and compassion by complete strangers who were desperately trying to keep the cat out of harms way.
Always remember, there is kindness all around. What you reap you sow. One day, you may need help in some way. Why not be there for others. It's good KARMA. Just saying....

16 Handles of Patience
Inspiration: To continue to do my best to remain present and calm under all circumstances.
16 Handles. The popular yogurt establishment that has gained popularity in recent years. With its varied array of delectable dessert flavors and toppings, it has become a staple amongst both kids and grown-ups. You can sample as many flavors as your heart desires and then create your own splendid masterpiece for digestion.
The caveat here is you can have as much as you want, but it is weighed by the ounce. So a colorful sweet and delectable dish can run you a pretty penny. Probably someone in the vacinity of ten bucks. But who cares, it so much fun to watch the spiral of swirl and yumminess fall into your cup.
Almost daily, this has been one of my added rituals, especially after yoga class. I arrive in an expanded, "blissful" state, looking forward to the possibility of having my favorite flavors; pistachio and ANYTHING with chocolate and peanut butter. :)
So on a recent weekday eve, I make my way over after a juicy and delicious yoga experience. I was pretty blissed out and rather peaceful...After I created my sweet treat, I made my way over to the checkout line. It happened to be rather short so I was elated. However, when it came to be my turn, here is what ensued.
For every fifty bucks you spend here, you receive a five dollar reward which can be used to your next purchase. You can either present a card or use your telephone number. Since my card was nowhere in sight, I gave my number. This tattooed looking young guy asked me for this number almost eleven times (I kid you not).Those gathered in line behind me were in complete awe of his lack of presence and possible capability. I finally said, "I usually have a lot of patience and just got back from yoga class, but I am losing my BUZZ...Do you need someone to help you out here?"
This young adorned guy of course said, "No. I know what I am doing." (of course you do that's why I told you the same thing so many times). If he knew what he was f**kin doing why didn't he get it right the first time? This brings me to the point of this whole musing. A question of presence. Was he present (not) or was his mind off somewhere else. I only say this because when we are totally present, everything unfolds with ease. There is no lag time whatsoever in doing or becoming one with the task at hand. Perhaps this guy just needs to get a little yoga groove on. One can only hope....The question is, "Are you being fully present to what is?"
Anyway, the desert was still pretty damn AWESOME!!!

The Mystery of the Capricorn
Inspiration: To continue to be amazed by the Universe's musings and messages...
My favorite, meditative place to go is Riverside Park NYC in the evenings. It is here I empty myself completely to the night sky, the trees and the water in the distance. This has become somewhat of a ritual for me, especially on these beautiful Summer nights.
After 9pm, the dogs are in charge and roam freely off leash. They are a myriad of different shapes and sizes and it always brings a smile to face to watch these beloved animals wander aimlessly with complete joy. I have become friendly with some of the dog owners and recently met one in particular. A beautiful woman with a labradoodle who exuded a positive vibe. A couple of years ago, I recall we briefly spoke about what kind of dog she had. On this particular Sunday evening, as I was walking towards exiting the park, I saw her with a friend and their two dogs playing. As I walked by, both dogs gathered around me without me paying any attention to them.
This woman said that witnessing this brought her "chills" . I didn't think much of it but that my energy must have been chill, especially after yoga and meditation. We began a dialogue and soon enough I found myself walking out of the park with her. Since we lived quite close to one another, I walked in her path and I felt a familiar resonance with her.
She opened up to me about her love for nature, being out of the city and just being in flow (yoga). She shared with me a recent break-up with a man she had been with for nearly two years. After listening and having complete empathy for her (as I could totally relate), I asked the question, "He's not a Capricorn is he?" To which she responded YES. My follow up question was, "When is his birthday?" She replied, "December 24th." A great big smile came upon my face. Here is why.
In the past decade, I have been involved with three Capricorn men. Some more seriously than others but all had birthdays within days of each other:...December 23, 25 and 26. When this amazingly, beautiful woman shared with me her now ex's date I couldn't help but share a bit of my story. We both laughed and took it as some GREAT sign from the Universe! It was definitely a missing piece to some sort of puzzle. Dare I try to label it or put words to what I think. Just a friendly "sprinkle" from the great unknown that there is always a message and gift in everything.
With this experience, I gained a new amazing female friend. A woman of like-mind and heart, who practices yoga and loves nature. So perfect. As for the Capricorn male, he is fixed, rigid, practical (but not all though) and most of all stubborn. But aren't we all in some way. No judgments. Just a thought and my observation.
So dear ones, be open to the messages the Universe powers have in store for us. When we pay attention and listen, we are somehow lovingly guided to the next step. Think about that for a bit and have a blessed day!

The BELOVED One
Inspiration: To continue to believe that love moves mountains...
It has been said, there are many that walk the earth as Avatars and Saints. Last Friday, I was honored to be blessed by one of them; the beloved Amma, who travels the globe sharing her message of unconditional love and healing. She is widely known for changing the trajectory of ones life just by giving them a simple (but intensely loving) embrace.
Last year I attempted to go see her and feel her magnificence. To receive a hug from her, you must arrive many hours early to receive a token. Depending on the turnout, you may have to wait much much longer than you think an individual could bear. Some ten plus hours (for this saintly hug).
Recently, I have been thinking about her and was given sign one when a favorite yoga teacher of mine announced after class that she would be in town. A part of me knew it would be beneficial for to go, but my resistance and "ego" didn't want to spend an entire day and night at the Jacob Javitz Center in Midtown NYC. Sign two came a day later when I was on the subway traveling uptown. A woman with her girl asked me, "Did you just come from seeing Amma?" It must have been the garb I was wearing. She had shared she just had come from there and felt truly amazing! So I knew for sure the UNIVERSE was definitely tell me to GO. But which day?
I decided upon Friday as it seemed best with my schedule. The morning of, I sat in meditation asking that my time visiting with Amma devotees and layman (as myself) be as ease full as possible. That the day unfold as it was meant to; with complete surrender to possibly being there ten plus hours. In the afternoon sign three came. Upon arriving at my gym to workout, reluctantly and tired I may say, I see a paper posted on the door that says, "Gym closed from 12-4pm for annual picnic." WOW!!! So I bolted down to the Javitz Center and was there by 3pm.
Upon arriving I had asked, "Where is the token line?" Since I was quite early for the evening program, I was the second person in line. Mind you, the place was still quite full with food vendors and concession stands filled with jewelry, clothing, books and Amma completing the morning program with hugs. I was then told by person numero uno to go and get a time card. What this does is give you some sort of precedence in seeing Amma. Without the whole story, I am so glad I did. While waiting on line to be seated, I met some truly wonderful people. One, a dear acupuncturist and a another "soulful", spiritual couple that just radiated divine light. This made the wait to be seated for the evening program leaving me with an inner sense of serenity and peace.
After all of this waiting, I was finally seated, in the fourth row of center. So excited!!! The evening program was divine and I had two encounters with people I knew before receiving my divine hug. My friend had spotted me on the way to the louve during the chanting. When I went over to her and her husband, I had immediately noticed she was wearing the exact same mediation scarf as I in a lilac purple (and she is a stylist and designer). The second encounter was when the girl seated next to me on the aisle got up for a bit. I then look down and see my friend, who last year was my hug from Amma. Meaning he gave me a divine hug.:) What are the chances of him just showing up at almost 9pm sitting on the floor next to me in a crowded venue?
Finally, hugging time came. I was filled with excitement. What would I silently ask of her? Should I be specific? A practice for me has been to truly surrender any expectations and attachments on outcome. When my turn came, I bowed down before her. The embrace was complete and total surrender. Tears falling from my eyes. I have never experienced such pure bliss, unconditional love in the presence of another. A divine encounter. When it was over I received a chocolate hersheys's kiss and some rose petals (as did everyone). I was touched by an unbelievable light. So full of gratitude. :)
It was just before 10:30pm when I departed from the venue. The whole time I was there was 7.5 hours. Thank you SPIRIT, for making this day so magical. A day I will hold close to my heart and soul. So dear ones, be mindful and surround yourself with individuals and group that raise your frequency. In other words, where your energy vibrates at a higher octave. From this space, anything is possible...
With Love and Many Blessings,
Denise

Yoga: The REAL Truth
Inspiration: To continue to deepen my practice of the healing benefits of Yoga...
Yoga, yoga and more yoga....Studios are opening by the month across the country and probably the world. It has become a billion dollar industry. Apparel, trainings, retreats, festivals,you name it. This is a wonderful thing, to help others connect to their true self, their highest potential. But it seems like with anything else, things are a bit out of alignment.
This morning on facebook I came across a video posted by a celebrity yoga teacher who works with Jennifer Aniston. How to get a body like Jen? Really people, you have to be f**kin kidding. Yoga is not meant to be a "workout". Yes, it is a physical practice but this is only 1/8 of what yoga is. It is the 3rd limb of yoga; ASANA. What about the other 7 ???
Being both a fitness and yoga teacher and practitioner, I have to admit I quite was taken a back (putting it mildly). This is not a judgment but a deep reflection and observation. Yes, yoga does provide a very active and physical element but I think many are missing the point. It is to become aware, to be present so that there is space within to see clearly what is most important. To live our lives from a place of authenticity and wholeness. That is what it is for me anyway. It helps to rewire the nervous system, negative patterns and beliefs so we become a more integrated, conscious being. Yoga facilitates healing on a very "deep" core level.
So the next time you think about yoga, think about the entire premise. An energetic system of healing to becoming whole: In mind, in body and of course in SPIRIT! Think about that and have a very blessed day.
OM Shanti.
With Love, Denise

Of ALL Places A Yoga Studio
Inspiration: To continue to to trust, while being mindful...
It happened again. I just couldn't believe it. In the holiest of places, to me anyway. My yoga studio. It is here a myriad of times a week, I practice. I surrender. I create space internally for my heart to be transformed, to be healed of any emotions that no longer serve me. Feeling the sweetness of my breath, my body and my SPIRIT.
But for the second time within six months, my wallet was visited by hands other than my own. Money was taken; the same exact amount. Can you believe? Kinda twilight zone-ish. Truth is, I knew better after the first time. I tend to be trusting and rarely use a lock when I leave my belongings in the locker room. Hence the word, locker: lock
Who would have thought of all places, a yoga studio??? Not me, but it just goes to show you, that anything can happen anywhere. Maybe I was playing out some past or present life karma. Who knows. What I do know is that I felt violated by my beloved space which has once again showed me IT"S humanness...That there is always contrast in some form. A dark and a light. A yin and a yang. Make any sense?
Listening to our intuition, that tiny subtle voice that speaks in whispers is essential. This second time around, I happened to bring my belongings into the yoga studio when I practiced and then took a quick two minute shower, with bag in locker. Anything can happen in a moment. As in the song by The Spinners goes: " It only takes a minute girl, to fall in love"... But that's a very good moment. Have a deliciously blessed day!
