A Modern Mantra. This my guide for living a yogic lifestyle in everyday life. I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel like I literally need yellow sticky notes posted around my house reminding me to take deep breaths, be kind, listen, and be patience. If practice makes perfect, then every day should consist of practice and evolving. My hope is that this blog will eventually become a collection of my thoughts on life and living as an eternal student of yoga, and hopefully your ideas and comments. “Modern” because it is today, the present time. “Mantra” is a focused mediation, where a word or sound is repeated over and over. Too often our day to day lives have become repetitive, why not throw in some meditative thoughts in there?

There does not tend to be a whole lot of room for the new age of technology in the ancient teaching of yoga. So I am proposing an idea to you, that this may become a place where modern technology and thoughtfulness collide. Let's share our ideas, inspirations for the day. Take whatever it is you’d like from my journaling, if it fits for you, then perfect!...I’m doing my job as a future teacher. If not, create your own ideas and comment back. I love discussion. I love different points of view. Let’s use our brains, and NEVER STOP THINKING!

Also, this is a really fun way for me to collect my thoughts on my own personal yogic journey. Be as interactive as you can here while remaining grounded, remember ultimately we are on this journey together, and I will do the same. I respect the differences in your journey, and I hope you will do the same with mine. Treat the online community as you would the real world!
