Heather’s Kundalini Yoga Blog Kundalini yoga, passion, joy, fulfillment - sharing lessons I’ve learned

          Six months ago I fell into a deep depression. On Christmas Eve in a matter of minutes my pelvic floor collapsed while menstruating and I was unable to walk.  If you log onto my web-site you will read my journey with menstrual problems and why I created my first DVD.   I knew this wasn’t a physical problem , but more of a spiritual one.  I lost my purpose and faith in our society.  I have a strong will so I began to heal myself and dig even deeper into my meditation practice.  Austin Texas came up one morning. Hm. Maybe I am suppose to move there?  I went online and ordered a tour guide of Austin and decided at that moment I would take a trip. The next day I was invited to a professional tap company audition in Austin Texas.  I have been tap dancing since age 3 and created a Guiness Book of World records in tap shoes while having a great career in New York City.  Hm. Maybe I am suppose to tap dance again. I booked my trip.  It is always helpful to take time out for your self and venture somewhere new and Austin had a great energy for me. I showed up at the tap dance audition. I was deeply disappointed in the experience and felt even a lack of soulfulness that I thought would be there. In the middle of the audition I thought to my guide Yogi Bhajan-master of Kundalini Yoga why did you lead me here.  I walked out of the studio and asked the owner if there is a yoga place in this area. Yes-it’s 2 blocks away and if you walk straight ahead you won’t miss it.  I had my Kundalini Yoga DVD in my bag and thought well let me see if I can drop it off and maybe the owners might think about selling it in their shop.  I entered South Yoga Yoga which had a great vibe and I was able to leave my materials at the front desk and I walked out with a brochure.  I arrived back to Pittsburgh a few days later went onto Yoga Yoga web-site and read about the owners journey. The couple were a  student of Yogi Bhajan and their story hit to the core of my soul. Long story short their marriage was struggling and they were feeling a  tough time with life, so as a last resort they put all their money and energy into learning everything about all styles of yoga . They started a business in their home using one of the bedrooms as a yoga studio. They crammed in 7 students and as time went on they manifested 65 a week and then began the journey of opening their first commercial business. Wow!  Inspired and moved I realized I can do this too-and so I gave away half my furniture in my apartment , painted the walls, and created my own yoga space. The joy and excitement I have lets me know that being lost sometimes is necessary in order to know when something feels right!  keep searching. Keep up!
