Laghu Vajrasana – Deep back bends have always alluded my body.

Before I even get here, I open my back by laying on a block at the highest height and slowly open my upper back. (I will do a short video to show you what I do soon).

Slowly as I work, I will work out the tight quad muscles and upper back. I will eventually get my hands on my knees and my head closer to my feet.

All in good time…Right now I just breathe! 🙂

Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an email.

I’ve got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.

I am diving back into writing my blog. I have refocused my life from being a full time yoga/meditation teacher and therapist to a full time screenwriter. I know!! But it'll all make sense once you get to know me. :) I have been writing for a long time - like every writer that I know - I've always been writing ever since I could (talk) hold a pen. But life conspired to make me believe in the voices that said, "I wasn't good enough", "writing isn't a job", "it doesn't even have a pension!" I wanted to write like Beckett and Pinter, GB Shaw and Stoppard, Camus and Kafka. I wanted to be the first female absurdist writer. Mimicking the works of Beckett and Stoppard, but in a Shaw-ian kind of way. That would have to wait. I'm like a cat. I have had a few lives. I've been an architect, graduating and working in the field. After a few years, I decided to take my passion for architecture and translate that into sculpture and art. And writing. I did some writing! But there was no momentum! I made some money writing. So I went back to design. Then I went to get my Therapist skills because I'm fascinated by what makes us tick. I had been practicing and studying yoga throughout my university years and then doing it as any practitioner would - finding teachers I like, studios that had my style (after being introduced to Ashtanga I didn't look back) - became a teacher, did an enormous amount of training and teaching. And finally, in 2007, opened my first studio! That was an experience that even deepened my practice more and I taught a teacher training. However, it didn't last. I burnt out and where I had the studio wasn't conducive to the kind of yoga I was teaching. I continued with teaching private lessons and had therapy clients. Then my second studio turned more into a performance space than a yoga studio. I had already started writing screenplays at this time. I dove right in! I invited people to perform, do seminars and I even had partners to start launching our own productions in the space. But I chose the wrong people to partner with and it ended with me closing the studio and abandoning that kind of entrepreneurialship. I wasn't cut out for it... It exhausted me. Competing with every other space downtown. I'm not sure how many I have left - but it'll be the expanding of my writing - because finally after all my experiences, I am finally writing! The writing gods have descended upon me and said, now! Now you can write! The early posts on this blog are from when I was a full time yoga teacher, and wanted to share my experiences. It is my intention to continue to share with you my ongoing commitment to my spiritual practice; share some of the insight I have gained through the years. I will be sharing my experiences with writing, and setting my sights on making it as a writer. Fingers crossed. Here we go! Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy! Peace! CK
