There are many different experiences we have in our life that helps to shape us. And those experiences can be very safe and repetitive, or they can be calculated and examined for months before pulling a trigger, they can be impulsive and reactive or they can be intuitive and clear. I’ve had experiences from all the situation listed about. In this photo I used my intuition. (there are people in the raft barely hanging on) I rafted the river with my husband and two boys up until the waterfall were we were given a choice to walk around or go over. All three guys without hesitation wanted to go over, including my husband, which concerned me. Myself, as soon as he said I could opt out, i thought, yep, that’s what I am doing. The guys were so excited and I wanted so badly to be a part of that and share in their experience. Needless to say, I am the one who shot the picture. Trust you gut, your intuition as it will never fail you. If you can’t make your mind up regarding a situation within seconds…forget about it, don’t do it.

First off I am really excited to be
adding a Saturday 9:30 AM class. We start this Saturday @
Village Green Yoga in Issaquah and this Saturdays class will be
FREE! My friend Gina and I will be sharing the class. Some weeks it will be her teaching and some it will be me! You are going to get the best of both worlds.
Hope to see you this Saturday!
Read on if you want to know how
White Tantric was…..
The last few WT’s I have done have been fairly civil. But, this one kicked my butt. It was a very very long day.
We started off with a really nice balancing meditation for 31 minutes then were told to take a 30 minute rest. Seemed long but we were told we would need it. That should have been a clue. Then we did two back to back 62 minute meditations (we didn’t know they were going to be back to back) with almost no rest in between and the hand positions was fairly challenging but not horrible. During the fist 30-40 minutes my mind would not shut up. I thought, I am doomed. Done, and it’s only the second exercise! I prayed, chanted with the other 100 + yogis and made it through. That’s the beuty of WT.
After lunch, two more 62 minute meditations but with a short break in between, the second one being annoying as all hell. Then baby pose for 31 minutes and ending with shavasana for 31 minutes. Let’s just say when it was over most of us were not completely on this earth. So we chatted, laughed, hugged and said our goodbyes which grounded us all and I hit the trail home.
Discipline is my challenge. When I complete a WT course, aside from cleaning out the subconscious mind to the point where everything gets so clear and I feel squeaky clean, it’s the victory of completing the day that can not be taken away.
Vancouver BC, November 20th 2010, join me and see for yourself! You now who you are…

Spring Equinox is this Saturday. The days leading up to and after are a perfect time for reflection. I will do my best to honestly look at what has been going on in my life and around me and plant new seeds. If I do not consciously set my intentions, set my goals,
plant my seeds…..it makes things much harder than they need to be.
Plug into your intuition, see what it is you need and let it come to you. This weeks celestial balance of light and dark is the perfect time to do this. Letting it come to you is not a passive posture as it still requires action. We have to be aware, pay attention so when it does come to us we can grab it! How many time have we realized a missed opportunity? too many I fear. Set the wheels in motion. Set our intentions/goals. Generate the thought. Organize it and boom…Deliver it through our actions. (GOD)
I love teaching during the equinoxes. They are always such powerful classes. You (and I) always leave class with warm hearts, bright smiles and a bit sweaty! Don’t let this special time of year slip by without notice. Come to class and plant your seeds for the upcoming months.
Love,

Are we as good, as kind, as compassionate as we can be?
Are we taking the time notice both the challenges and the triumphs that we all encounter. I believe these are the steps we take to evolve as humans. Being conscious, aware, understanding and living the best life we can. And as we take these step in human revolution our goodness, our kindness and our compassion grows and widens! Notice the changes and watch yourself expand. Pushing yourself to go beyond the physical space you occupy. You may not notice it at first but I promise those around you will.
The Winter Solstice and New Year is a great time of expansion and reflection. Taking stock and reviewing our life and the past year. Our behavior towards people, where our goals met? Going back and looking at our life patterns. There are some things that we keep doing over and over again, because the repetition is comfortable, even though it may no longer benefit our growth and the graceful flow that we are seek in life. This is a time to look back at what is no longer serving us and let it go, making room for greater and more satisfying opportunities. Again, watching ourselves expand.
The science (and it is exactly that, a science) of Kundalini Yoga is one way by which your energy channels are opened and a beautiful clarity begins to come into your consciousness. And you begin to know what your next steps shall be. It is such a wonderful tool you can use to unfold a beautiful, conscious transformation.
I am here for you, teaching Yoga in support of your continued journey into 2010.
May all that you need come to you this New Year.

You’ve heard it before and you have all ignored it too.
Your day is moving along splendidly. You are getting your work done. Nice and smooth, nice and easy, no confrontation or conflict. You come across a moment where you need to make a decision. Everything is making sense. Your mind checks and cross checks to be sure and you move forward with your decision, it makes good sense. However, for a moment, you hesitate and you begin to hear your inner voice. Damn, just when your intellect, your mind has got it all sorted out. You don’t have time for this! You took all the right steps, your decision is sound. You stick with it your decision and move on with your day. Most of the time when this happens, you will regret the decision and wished you had listened to your intuition. You need to trust your intuition, that inner voice, your gut…whatever you call it. It is there to serve you. It’s very real and can be a powerful tool in your everyday life.
Yogi Bhajan said “The greatest tool you have in your life is to listen. Why? If you listen you will listen sensitively. And you will be shocked at how fast you will become intuitive.”
I have been practicing Kundalini Yoga for 14 years now but life still will challenge me each and everyday. I have to remind myself: Listen closely. Pay attention. Slow down. When I am tuned into my intuition it is pretty wonderful. No question about it and the bonus of no lingering doubts quite sweet.
In the upcoming weeks I will be focusing our classes with kriyas and meditations to help you tune into your intuition. The sixth chakra, the pituitary gland. It’ll be good, I promise.
Listen up!
Many blessing and lots of love,
Sosie

June could not have been any better weather wise. Seems I’ve gotten a bit obsessed with the sun over the last 4 years or so…I can’t help it.
July started off brilliantly. I celebrated my 50th birthday on the 3rd with an intimate groups of friends and family. It could not have been more perfect. My husband Robert, whose forte is not exactly throwing dinner parties did an amazing job and I love him that much more for hosting such a lovely party.
I spent the evening with people I adore and love. Each on of them have touched my life in a positive, loving way. The next day I begin thinking about the company we keep, the routines we adopt and the words we speak. They all have a vibration attached to it. And those vibrations can be both good and bad. I know I’m not getting to woo woo with you, you know what I’m talking about. You know when the vibe is good. It’s moving through you and you’re feeling at home, easy, maybe even transformed. I love it! We have to make the time and consciously surround ourselves with as much of that good energy and vibration that we can. And if you are able to, dish out some of that good energy too.
For those of us that are tuned in, doing our yoga and meditations…it’s right there within seconds, you know it and can feel all different vibrations, your computer, nature, people, whatever. It’s pretty good radar, telling you when to step into that vibe and when to walk away. We all have it but, when you really develop it, it’s pretty cool.
Friday night was filled with the love vibe. I highly recommend it!
