LA Diaries; Day 1 - Big Time Love With My LA Tribe

{NOTE; i wrote this entry two days ago. what can i say? life in LA moves fast! much has happened since this entry, however, that is another story...}


"namaste
Thank you for a beautiful class. I'm not attached, although it is tough to
find a teacher with the sweet energy that you exude.
my love to you,
vicki"


tonight i walk the streets of North Hollywood, vibing on the Big City Vibe enroute to my favorite pizza hang. i look up. and squint...Grandmother Moon looks a lot smaller at sea level than from Kinlani's perch 7,200' higher than i am tonight.

Yet, make no mistake.
i love it here; in Noho (aka; The Valley of Stars...and NOT the celestial kind!).
Today was a Paycheck Day.
i was brave.
i brought the Love,
and to a packed Cave of my most cherished yogis...i truly felt the Love in every fiber of my being.

i brought the Chi.
and i felt the Chi returned to me. 1000x stronger.

say what you want about the HP Yoga vibe;
we are dissed, often disdained, and mostly ignored by the "popular" styles.

so be it.

i understand.

i ain't a fancy-smanchy, hypermobile asana teacher trying to bring some watered down version of the Dharma.

i am a Dharma Teacher that occasionally teaches asana.

i get it.

and, rightly; so be it.

for ours is a Warrior's tribe;
if it is one thing we do that hallmarks our tribe?
it is this:
we try hard...
