Greetings and Namaste my dear yoga friends!  I am very pleased to welcome you to the "Yoga with Julie" blog, which is dedicated to bringing little gems of inspiration into your lives.  This ongoing project is a seed that was planted in my intention garden for quite some time and due to the course of life was a seed that laid dormant for a bit.  Well, the seed has been nourished and is about to sprout right now as I am composing this first official post.  Now that the sprouting has begun, it is time to nourish the sprout into full bloom.  Just like nature does not rush her growth process neither will this project, as I intend for it   to slowly grow and become more fruitful with time.  


The blog will consist of quotes, thoughts, yoga wisdom, pictures,videos, etc.  I also hope you contribute to the blog and share your thoughts and inspirations as well.  At this moment, I have the first video uploading and will hopefully have that up for you to practice with very soon.  


Thank you for following the blog!  May its content inspire you on your life's path!


Namaste,
Julie

Food for thought! How is your life’s appetite?

Image
Food for thought exercise (literally and figuratively): How is your life's appetite and what are you hungry for?  I started thinking of this post as I was physically hungry for food, but it inspired the question about my appetite for other aspects in life which then led me to asking myself what am I hungry for.  The physical sensation of digestive hunger is easy to take care... if you are hungry, eat. If you are satisfied, stay as you are.  If you are stuffed, then don't eat more. We can take digestive appetite with traditional food and relate that into life's cravings... In terms of life's appetite ask yourself, "am I starving, satisfied, or stuffed?" When asking think of different aspects of your life like career, love/relationship, adventure, etc.  Perhaps you are bored with your career and  starving  for something new to bite into.  Or perhaps you are happy right where you are in your career and there is no need to change anything...

A Life Lesson from Plants and Animals

Image
Did you ever notice how frequently the mind compares itself to those around you?  It is so easy to look the person to your right and left and think, "Oh they have a flatter stomach than I do," or "If only I had pin straight hair," "My skin looks so much clearer than that person over there." And the comparison list goes on and on and on... We are constantly bombarded by images, advertisements, other people's conversations, facebook posts, that tell us the ideal of what we should look like and how we should define ourselves as human beings. Even taking a yoga class, where one seeks their sanctuary and acceptance, the mind is tempted to compare to practitioners that may seem more advanced than you, or the way their lululemon pants shape their legs and butt.  The best way to overcome this is to practice non -attachment to your thoughts and to find gratitude for yourself, however this is easier said than done.    Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to ta...
