Rocky Mountain Fly and Some News



NEWS! I am hoping to have the details of my teaching schedule worked out in the coming weeks. Wish me luck/send positive vibes my way regarding some new endeavors that are on my plate, and keep an eye on your inbox and this blog for teaching schedule updates. Also, a more extensive Bria Yoga/Bria Fit website is being developed, and I will post a launch date as soon as that info's available.


Just spent a lovely few days in Colorado, in Rocky Mountain Country. It's so important to get in touch with nature. Simply being able to work out and practice yoga with the gorgeous moutains and forest as a backdrop was phenomenal.


The scenery alone was hugely motivating, so I decided to tackle a few poses that typically give me trouble back at sea level. And wouldn't you know it--the mellow vibe and sunshine really must've done something positive and opened up new energetic pathways in me. I'm now much closer to being comfortable and solid in those poses than I had ever been up until now. The mountain air and altitude have made me feel lighter on my feet, as if taking flight in certain poses. Amazing.


Believe it or not, while away, I only spent a max of 35 minutes on yoga on any given day. Some days, I only devoted 10 minutes to my practice. Yet every moment counts.


Of course, (almost) daily practice and consistent classes over the years have laid the foundation for any and all breakthroughs. The reward is certainly not just in "getting" a pose, but in the journey. My friends and I kept coming back to class, week after week, month after month, year after year. Our teacher continues to grace us with his presence, knowledge, and enthusiasm. Things progress naturally from there. Looking back, I can see the changes in me and also in those around me. We're evolving on every level. It's beautiful, and I'm so incredibly grateful for that.
