Both of these 'three letters after my name' came into my life about the same time from the same family tree. MBA was at the encouragement of my ex-husband, driven by prestige and image. An introduction to the path of RYT was by his mother, one of my formative teachers and a dear friend.
My Yoga practice has flowed through me, guiding me through various life stages. I look on the 'yoga as fitness' trend in our culture with mixed emotions - it brings much needed relaxation and invitation to Truth forward while also obscuring it in strange clothing. Stillness and depth are my heart of practice, the place I go for answers. My practice gives me access to the pool of my heart that is the well from which I drink. I yearn to be fed more fully. The journey toward RYT has been long and rich.
I hold a more adversarial relationship with the MBA aspects of myself - the whole package of what it means. At heart I am about people, not people as resources or capital but people as divine beings. Often this is jarring to exist in the narrow mindset of corporate life.
To create the MBA + RYT gestalt I am challenged to befriend the sorrow of lost self and heal with appreciation while letting go of struggles - confused with an open heart.
As I figure out this gestalt I am offering a Monday morning yoga class at SugarSpace (616 Wilmington in Salt Lake) 7-8:15am. Gentle class, quiet and relaxing. I would love to have you join me on this path.
