Looking Back; Looking Forward
2012: A Year in Review
A year for travel, finding myself, getting lost and finding myself again: by all accounts, 2012 was an incredible year. In 2012, I visited Thailand, Haiti, Canada, China and all over the US. I raised over $3000 towards yogaHOPE’s work in Haiti. I studied metta, meditation and Thai yoga massage in Thailand. I fell in and out of love, again and again, eventually falling into a deeper understanding of love (the only way out is to share). And I returned to Boston to teach yoga full time.
In a year’s time, every aspect of my life has changed. In many ways, 2012 has been about gratitude. Before I left Boston for Western Massachusetts and later Thailand, I believe I took my community, friends and work for granted. Not seeing the value in all that I had built for myself in Boston in the eight years since moving here in 2003, I left without really understanding what that would mean. In returning home, I’ve found myself consistently grateful for the people in my life, the studios I teach, and the delicious and accessible food (read: Indian buffet). By traveling, I reconnected to home, love and gratitude.
2013: Looking Forward
It’s often easier to look back than it is to look forward, especially over the course of a year. As a yoga teacher, I set intentions on a weekly or sometimes daily level. It’s a regular part of my practice. So the idea of New Year’s resolutions sort of falls short, when you rededicate yourself to an idea or a direction on a regular basis.
In this moment, what sticks out for me is the idea of collaborative co-creation. Perhaps AcroYoga is at the root of this intention, but for 2013, I’m aiming to be a participant. In my interactions, in my teaching, in my relationships, in my writing, I aim to be a mindful collaborator (or co-conspirator) of awesome. 🙂
Sure there are specific goals, I’d like to work towards this year. 2013 will be the year I develop some control in handstand, the year I get my full straddle split back, the year I start that book idea I’ve had for a few years… But all of that will require deliberate co-creation with my body, with my support structures, with my mind and ego. So that’s the aim.
