Lip Balm Panic

October 26, 2011 By Melody

Life is all about change, right?  And yoga teaches us how to be agile (and oh so graceful) as we surf the flow of change -whether we are in an asana class, literally surfing the Pacific (go Michelle!) or just trying to get through life.  In other words, yoga shows us how to be with change and ride it verses resist it and run. I believe this concept so much that I talked about riding change and its challenges on Monday morning during the yoga class I taught to the City of Alexandria Fire … [Read more...]

Split “Yogini” Personality

October 10, 2011 By Melody

I've been debating on sharing this blog post (from my journal) for a week or so.  Then I had a shift on Friday during a Dharma class at Pure Prana in Old Town Alexandria.  I'll save the "wow" moment for the end.  So get reading... In my previous blog post, I offered a glimpse into what my daily Dharma Mittra practice/plans and diet are for the next couple months.  One aspect of the daily practice is reflecting on satya.  This reflection process means spending time each day to reflect on … [Read more...]

Key to Life: Tapas

August 28, 2011 By Melody

Many years before I was familiar with Yoga & Tapas, I recall observing the practice of discipline in every day living.  For instance, my Father regularly changed the oil in the cars.  He would tell me if he didn’t do it often the cars wouldn’t run properly.  My Mom always insisted my Sister and I have our hair trimmed every 1-2 months growing up.  Unwillingly I did it because she said otherwise my hair would get out of control, knotty and dry.  I always noticed how my Grandparents went to … [Read more...]

Spring Clean Your Life

May 10, 2011 By Melody

Part of the fun of being a small business owner is every single day is different.  Of course, I primarily teach yoga Mon-Fri but I also do things like writing documents (i.e. contracts, proposals, handouts), attending networking events in the Arlington area and running to the bank to make deposits.  I love the variety each day offers including what's on tomorrow's agenda:  abellaYoga is exhibiting at the City of Alexandria Health Fair.  One of my booth giveaways is a handout I created on with … [Read more...]

Put It Out There

August 28, 2010 By Melody

Put what out where?  Five to ten years ago when people use to say to me "whatever you want just put it out in the universe and you'll get it", it always sounded like hocus pocus/hokey/nonsense.  Now tell me to "put it out there" and I'm all over it. Prime example is when I finished my meditation practice this morning at home, I thought I really could use a great backbending yoga class to start my Saturday.  As I had planned last night, I arrived to the 7:45am class at Pure Prana this morning in … [Read more...]

Who Inpires Me?

March 15, 2010 By Melody

Wow, what a question?!?!?!  I was asked this after teaching the community yoga class last night at lululemon in Arlington, VA (Clarendon). The main foundation for my teaching is Baron Baptiste.  Of course, Baron and the Baptiste community inspires me but I only get the opportunity to study with him and other Baptisters (I just made this term up!) once a year.  And unfortunately I don't have a teacher (aka someone I can call my guru) that I study with on a weekly or monthly basis. To keep my … [Read more...]
