Im writing this so I dont slip into the ether without any explanation. Mouthy by nature.. But mostly very private...Here I go. Yesterday was a very difficult day for me. I resigned from Trufusion and Yoga Unlimited. I have kept 2 classes at the Grateful Yogi because they are close to where I live, enjoy teaching, and can still do so at this time. I want to thank everyone that I have met and worked with over the past year. Its been a wonderful opportunity and something I enjoyed very much and learned a great deal from. I have chosen to leave strictly for a lifestyle decision. I had an unfortunate experience of being dropped on my head and sustained a concussion and subsequent subluxated ribs and nerve issue in my neck. Im doing much better and will be ok. What resulted because of this was an examination of how I was living and working, and realized that I didnt have the financial means to take care of myself when life throws a curveball. I have tried to sustain myself working full time as a yoga teacher in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, what was quite simple for me in NYC and the Hamptons is not so in Las Vegas. I entered the fitness industry in 1992 as a personal trainer and massage therapist. I found Yoga when I sustained an injury from overdoing and overuse. I was incredibly attached to the physical and deeply embedded in a pursuit of perfection. Finding yoga shifted my world. I fell in love with this practice because it taught me how to be kind to myself, that Im never going to be perfect and that it was all okay. I started becoming more forgiving of myself, didnt need a perfect body and so an incredible journey of introspection, vendantic philosophy and a quest to experience life in a more loving, balanced and honest way began. I travelled through India, studied with incredible teachers who challenged me and opened my mind and my soul to different possibilities about life in the world. I try on a daily basis to be kind to myself and others and to live as honestly as I can. Im allowed to make mistakes, and its all okay. I am very far from being perfect and will never be.Throughout my journey I have learned that there are good days and bad, that I am highly capable of loving and sharing and that not everybody is going to love me and its all okay. I wish I was a little less sensitive still but I also recognize its what makes me capable of having a loving partner in my life, family, friends and students that I share wonderful exchanges of all kinds on a daily basis. Ive never been competitive with anyone but myself and thats my own shtick that has varying degrees of intensity. I have made the decision to go back into luxury sales because I can financially support myself this way. I can still be creative and share my art, teaching, and have right livelihood without financial fears. The pantyhose are a bummer but I can live with it))) I will miss what Ive been doing but understand that this is a healthy choice I have made and am looking forward to my next opportunity. Its important to practice living truthfully, experiencing love and the freedom to pursue things you enjoy doing in life and being kind to others. Big Huggs Alicia
