This beautiful man developed the ashtanga yoga method
and is the teacher of my teachers David Life and Sharon Gannon of Jivamukti yoga.
here’s a little video which really doesn’t do him justice but you get the idea.
I feel sad that I never got to Mysore India to study with him, although his son is still teaching there so I might go.
Today I am going to the studio to record my song Must.Take.Control.
It’s all about taking control of the mind-
what Patanjali called “Chitta -Vrittis” in Sanskrit, which means Mind Fluctuations.
Instead of dwelling on the these same
thought patterns we always have- focus on the breath and focus on the higher Source-
whether it’s God for you or Nature,
or whatever. I believe in a non-religious God for example.
More of a universal spirit, which you can call God, Love, Allah, Buddha, whatever.
So my song today-it’s a crazy electronic dance tune, you might just be dancing to it and then go “wait what did she say??”
That’s my favorite thing to do, never be too literal with this heavy shit! I
So I will record this today in honor of Pattabhi Jois.
BLESSINGS & OM !!
