Stay Updated with Steadfast and True News!

So excited to be in 2012!

Happy New Year, everyone! I think this year is going to be a blast. We (Steadfast) have so many things to share this year. It's going to be hard to contain all the excitement. I will try to channel all of this energy into a usable format…most likely on the mat.

The new studio is finally starting to feel right, for me at least. I am not going to lie, the move was really hard on me. It didn't hit until about the second week in December but it was a shock to my senses for a while. Not visually, the studio is beautiful, but physically, it didn't feel like me. I couldn't figure out which way I wanted the students to face, I had a hard time finding my Drishti on the orange wall. I decided I didn't like cleaning the bathrooms, and even with the bigger space I felt caged in. I was over-thinking everything, hearing more noises, smelling more smells (cake, ugh!), thinking more thoughts, umm…

I wasn't practicing. I had gotten so busy with the move and my teaching schedule, and during the holidays. I wasn't practicing (and when I say practicing it doesn't mean asana it means I wasn't practicing yoga). I wasn't sitting in the space and letting it absorb. I hadn't meditated, sang, danced or laughed loudly in the new space. I hadn't let the new Steadfast have me yet…and of course, it has nothing to do with the actual space at all. I knew/know this, but sometimes you just forget when it gets hectic.

The truth is we teachers can talk a good talk but are we living the words, ideas, and practice what we teach??? (multiple questions marks, uh-oh, she's serious.) It was only a short time when I got lost—maybe just a few days—but it sucked. I am happy I have great friends, teachers and an amazing family who support me and remind me "where I pull from." And that's from my practice. So, I've been practicing in there the past 10 days, living in there and letting it have me. It feels good, you should try it sometime. And I don't mean Steadfast. This isn't a marketing ploy to get you into the studio, I mean the practice of uniting yourself with the divine and letting it take over until everything feels right. One moment of righteousness might last a lifetime…maybe not, but I am gonna' keep trying to find out.

Blessings and all that goodness,
—Gillian

See you on the mat!

GROUPON is back again!

We did this last year and met a lot of really great people out of it. It's going out on Saturday the 8th. Now please remember, this is for new students only. But if you have friends that have been wanting to try out yoga this is going to be the best way to do it. And by "best," I mean cheapest. So if you are new to Steadfast, grab a GROUPON, or if you have family or friends who could benefit from then yoga spread the word!
