Yogamaya

We are celebrating our 10th Birthday today! Here is some back story! I had big dreams - I had fallen in love & everything seemed possible. I was learning, absorbing, practicing, teaching my face off + processing so much. ... I had been learning from @danatrixieflynn for years, discovered @carrieowerko as a teacher + was deeply attached to Kirtan (chanting) & all the yoga philosophy I could take in. 2007 during my first trip to India, the place these philosophy was born & these mantras originated, every step felt like a teaching, every moment a sense of awe & even getting sick truly felt like a blessing. Here I said out loud that I wanted to create a new space for yoga - a space where all things inside the space was yoga. In June 2010 we opened. One of my yoga teachers said to me once, You’re allowed to change your mind. What a total revelation. My dreams have shifted - evolved - gotten confused - been sidetracked - intentions put under self scrutiny/inquiry, again, again & again - but have always been tied to what I want to offer, as body-mind relationship work, to humans. ’ . If through the existence of Yogamaya we’ve shared yoga, sat side by side in a talk or kirtan, breathed & moved together or I’ve laid my burdens on you or made myself a place for you to lay yours, you are part of . If we have yet to meet I look forward to how you will change me & change . Evolution is the work of humans - let’s see where we fly! Love, Bryn @ Yogamaya See more

Sending you off... Today we graduated our 3rd #yogateachertraining group since Covid began. I cannot think of a more powerful time to be in the search for self-knowledge & transformation. Yoga has always been about relationships & transformation.... From the illusion of who we think we are to the realization of our eternal nature / soul. I’ve asked this question a 1000 x’s: How is it that we come to know what we don’t yet know? Expanding our awareness, learning & honestly reflecting is how we arrive to new frontiers. It’s almost always hard fought, but worth it. As our groups of new yoga teachers graduate into the world, it feels like we are suddenly & finally in the midst of our own personal & awakening, being asked (required) to shine light in places we have ignored for too long - & .
