Where is your
"This is the most beautiful place on earth. There are many such places. Every
man, every woman, carries in heart and mind the image of the ideal place, the right place, the one true home, known or unknown,
actual or visionary. A houseboat in Kashmir, a view down Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, a gray gothic farmhouse two stories high at the end of
a red dog road in the Allegheny Mountains, a cabin on the shore of a blue lake in spruce and fir country, a greasy alley near
the Hoboken waterfront, or even, possibly, for those of a less demanding sensibility, the world to
be seen from a comfortable apartment high in the tender, velvety smog of Manhattan, Chicago, Paris, Tokyo, Rio or Rome - there's no limit to the human capacity for the homing sentiment."
Where is your one true home? Where is that place that makes your belly tingle just thinking
of it as you read this piece of Abbey's work?
Here's mine...

Happy 2008!
 As some of you know, I've just begun a distance learning course from the American Institute of Vedic Studies. The title of the course is "Ayurvedic Healing". I've been wanting to do a course like this for years. But just couldn't decide which one. So, paying
attention to my teacher's words (Erich Schiffmann who says if you aren't clear you haven't made a decision yet), I waited
until it felt really clear.
I've just barely begun the course but am so inspired by what I'm reading. I'm discovering the ancient roots of
the practice and the philosophy from which it arises. As I delve deeper I hope to share some of what I'm learning both
in workshops and in the course of teaching my regular yoga classes. I have no idea where this will take me but I'm so
excited to be on this journey.
I'm taking my time with this course and really letting it sink in. So stay tuned!
