The Eight-Limbed Path

Many falsely claim that Yoga is Asana. This is incorrect. Others falsely claim that Yoga is Samadhi. This is also incorrect. Although Yoga utilizes both Asana and Samadhi on the Eight-Limbed Path, Yoga is Union. And the aim of Yoga practice (the entire last chapter of the Yoga Sutras) is Liberation/Kaivalya. Nothing more. Nothing less. To think or say otherwise reflects that you do not have a full or accurate understanding of what Yoga is or accomplishes (or, worst, that you have attachments to certain world views/ideologies that prevent you from fully accessing/seeing the Truth).

A Lesson On Truly Seeing What Is Real (Week 33 Reflections)

Yogic Levels Of The Self

Empowering Higher Awareness, Living, And Being

The work that we do here is completely rewarding and will challenge you to grow in strength and Self purity safely and skillfully. But not everyone is a good fit for the full scope of this work.

That is OK…Please feel free to participate at whatever level is best for you…especially since I cannot and will not (nor do I want to, in full transparency) work one-on-one with everyone on planet Earth (that is impossible since I am only one human being who, though I have the eternal power of all that is “on my side,” operates my life and my businesses alone in this physical plane of existence).

To transcend the physical limitation of “being just one person,” I create a variety of different educational materials and tools that I make accessible to everyone at different levels so that anyone who visits this website can benefit from the knowledge being shared here. This includes a number of self-guided courses if you wish to explore the lessons shared here more fully.

When it comes to meeting with students and working with them one-on-one, however, I only work with dedicated and committed students who truly want Liberation.

Please only proceed if you are serious about your growth and evolution and feel that this space can be of value to you in that evolution; if not, then I am sure that there is someone “out there” for you.

Millions of Teachers exist. It is vital (because this is no small thing, and I do this work as a service to a higher calling and not just to make money) that we only work together if I am the right teacher for you and this is the right place for where you are on your inner journey. I value both your life-force energy and mine, and so everyone who wishes to work with me must possess a commitment to live their practice before requesting my personalized guidance and support.

My commitment to your success is complete and unconditional, and I have devoted myself fully to being the best that I can be in this work, so I select my students carefully. Your commitment to your growth has to be complete before meeting with me. Period.

I do not work to talk anyone into anything.

Here is what I do:

I Teach to raise, cultivate, and deepen awareness…providing you with, and reminding you of, knowledge, tools, and skills that enlighten your body-mind and being and promotes wholistic wellness on all levels.

I Coach to support you with developing a practice and lifestyle that integrates your knowledge and keeps you firmly on your path toward higher fulfillment.

My role is to Empower you to effectively use your inner knowledge, discernment, and spiritual connection to overcome obstacles and to gain Liberation from ignorance and suffering in this lifetime.

I am here to support you with Realizing your Self for your Self, not to become dependent on me for the answers/enlightenment that you must give to yourself.

OM Tat Sat:

OM (All That Is): That is the Truth.

Tat Tvam Asi:

That thou art.

Inclusivity Agreement

Leave your labels at the metaphorical door and join me as you are: I have no attachment, attraction, or aversion to any past, current, or future form in which you show up. This is a safe space for learning and growth, and the main policy here is that we all arrive in our sacred space grounded in our Yamas.

I always do my very best to create an open and inclusive environment for everyone regardless of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, or creed. All are appreciated and welcomed here!

I recognize (as a Trauma-Informed Professional), however, that safety is a felt, personal experience, which means that not everything that I express on this site will resonate with everyone at all times depending on where they are at any given moment, nor are all techniques suitable for everyone depending on their body and mind.

You are free (because that is your right) to take everything as a suggestion for your growth and to incorporate what works best and applies to you into your life and practice. Discernment about what is best for you is a key aspect of Yoga practice, and to effectively adhere to the principle of Ahimsa, please feel welcomed to modify all poses and recommendations to your liking and best interest since you, after all, are the expert on you, and you have to live your life in your body and mind!
