YOGItimes magazine for the modern yogi
July / Aug
A few years ago, I was sitting on the beach in Santa Monica, bragging to my partner about all of the ideas that were constantly swirling about in my head and all of the magnificent things I was going to do some day. While I was going on about my future glory, I noticed that the whole time I was talking, his eyes were fixed forward, out toward the crashing ocean waves. I kindly asked him if he had heard anything I had said. He turned to me, and with a semi-smile, gently told me that he was living in the here and now, listening to the waves, feeling the sun, and breathing the crisp air. Astonished by his answer I asked if I could at least get some feedback on my ideas. He said they were great but instead of talking about them so often I should do something about them. The truth hurts. I was a little bruised by his candor, but it didn’t take long for me to realize what a blessing this short conversation had been for my future. I swallowed what was left of my ego and decided not to “talk” any more about resolutions and ideas. I simply had to go for them one day at a time. I stayed in the moment, pouring my desire, perseverance and faith into an 8.5 x 11 inch stack of paper where I share my passion for life, yoga and this glorious world we live in. Yogi Times was born! Now, with the addition of the new San Francisco edition of Yogi Times, my dream continues to grow. This issue, The Power of Music, is a celebration of that dream and the joy of the past two years spent spreading the wonder of yoga throughout the community.

Namaste,
