A Modern Day Yogini: change
http://brigette108.blogspot.com/2013/02/change.html
A Modern Day Yogini. About life, love and practice. Monday, February 25, 2013. The act or instance of making or becoming different. The substitution of one thing for another. An alteration or modification. A new or refreshingly different experience. Last week, I sent out a student survey. Way I practice, but it is one. Of the ways. And, its changed my practice for the better in more ways than one. But that's another blog post for another day. Its empowering to learn the tools to advance my practice.

A Modern Day Yogini: January 2012
http://brigette108.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
A Modern Day Yogini. About life, love and practice. Saturday, January 14, 2012. Yesterday I taught Darren's 4:15 pm yogahour class at YO central. It was a packed house, 55 students! It can be a nice change of pace to crank up the music and lead a sweaty flow practice, sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love teaching the nitty gritty of alignment technique and how to deepen/advance your practice. But a sweaty flow practice is good, too. When presented skillfully, I like both. Was at Southtown Yoga.

A Modern Day Yogini: August 2012
http://brigette108.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
A Modern Day Yogini. About life, love and practice. Thursday, August 16, 2012. Yoganidrasana - take one. Every month, we project a new pose. By "project" I mean that we dive in deep and spend every Sunday 2-hour advanced practice on the same peak pose for the entire month. The project pose for August is Yoganidrasana. For most people, they either love this pose or hate it. The group last week was about 50/50. However, by the end of class most folks had made major progress. BKS Iyengar in Yoganidrasana.

A Modern Day Yogini: June 2013
http://brigette108.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
A Modern Day Yogini. About life, love and practice. Saturday, June 29, 2013. What does it mean to practice yoga? Try to touch my feet to my head with fear in the back of my mind that the shape of the pose won't hold if I go for it. I could use the wall to make sure I don't fall. I could even use a friend to hold my hips so I can use my flexibility without much strength and let someone else do most of the work. Or. So where does this come in off my mat? PRACTICE, please always practice.

A Modern Day Yogini: meditation is not easy
http://brigette108.blogspot.com/2013/02/meditation-is-not-easy.html
A Modern Day Yogini. About life, love and practice. Monday, February 11, 2013. Meditation is not easy. Says, "Pade, Pade." I usually just choose one at a time and focus on that for a while. Today, my task was to keep my eyes shut the whole time. Its so hard not to peek at the timer. For me, the effects of meditation have been subtle, yet major. Mantra. According to Tantric Scholar, Douglas Brooks. I am not saying by simply repeating this mantra all of this happened. I am saying that the mantra did so...

http://brigette108.blogspot.com/2013/02/sacred.html
A Modern Day Yogini. About life, love and practice. Wednesday, February 6, 2013. This morning, Alexis and I set our alarm for 5:45 am to be up in time for our first 6:30 am February Morning Meditation at Southtown Yoga. To my surprise, I woke up excited. I went down to the studio about 30 minutes before to turn up the heat and on my (very short) walk to the studio, it dawned on me. this felt like the start of a ritual.
