Today is Day 7 of my 30/ 30 journeys- one-fourth of the way to my goal. How often have I committed to something to have some noise to surface to get in the way- so far, so good. To celebrate this day, my mat and I ventured to Yoga Collective where we found the beautiful smile and grace of ATLs matriarch of yoga Gina Minyard. The practice centered on the theme of discipline, not in way most might think, but instead to stay true in our pursuit to oneness with our mind, body, and soul. The word disciple comes from the root of discipline; it is where ones belief in whatever is centered on a goal of reaching self-fullfillment; establishing ones core values. It takes discipline to walk through lifes fire, but a disciple of this walk knows each step is a step closer to that blissful nectar at the end of the fire to bath in. Imagine a bee whose job is to find nectar to take back to its hive- the journey may be trying, long, at times even seeming impossible- but when its found a sense of gratification happens. This is what Gina brought to each of her students as we explored our practice together by moving with discipline through the fire knowing that as disciples to yoga that lifes nectar is only a breath away. Thanks Gina for your inspiration to continue my pursuit of what yoga is truly about - that realization of happiness....
