About me….hmmmm…
Well, when I was little if anyone asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up I always said – very honestly and earnestly- that I wanted to change the world. When I was a teenager I always thought that would lead me into politics… many a times I was kicked out of my high school social studies class for too loudly voicing my opinion
Ha! My Teacher would always come out and say “Ross,” (my last name at the time) “Ross, what are we going to do with you. With a mouth like that you either need to be a lawyer or a politician… but you can’t do it in my class!”
I went on to take political science and sociology in college… and continued to get more and more disillusioned with the state of things… and get angry… people in political science and sociology are usually pretty angry people…
Then, I started Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training in October of 2001. I had been taking Kundalini Yoga for a few years and felt ready to take this next step… that first night sitting in the class I got chills… THIS is what I had been waiting for, THIS was what I wanted to learn about. Kundalini Yoga is not just about postures and breath- it is a full and complete path of Dharma- a way of living- that teaches people to tune into their own inner teacher, to be conscious and aware humans… this was a way for me to “change the world”.
Fast forward to 6 months ago… and I became a mother… and I have been brought to my knees in humility. Everything I thought I knew about being a conscious aware human has been challenged. Everything I thought I knew about surrender and commitment I now see as a joke… oh how naive I was.
Yogi Bhajan who was the master of Kundalini Yoga spent many many years teaching to women because he knew that women -mothers-are the foundation of society. I feel very passionately about sharing this rich well of teachings with women. I feel that this time with my new son is a cocooning time- we are both nestled in with each other, learning, growing and preparing to emerge… ready to change the world!
