Day 51 of 90: Moksha Yoga, “A” For Alice

Last updated on: August 30, 2013 at 4:13 pm   By David Matthew Brown

Day 51 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Moksha Yoga LA and I found myself with lots of energy after 3 days of drinking juice and water.  Feeling wonderful from the inside out.  It has been hot out here in LA and so I found myself resting a little longer outside in the lobby before entering the studio for practice.  I walked in and laid on my mat and closed my eyes, continuing my intention from last night... Read more

Day 50 of 90: Moksha Yoga, The Big 5-0

Last updated on: August 30, 2013 at 9:03 am   By David Matthew Brown

Day 50 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Moksha Yoga LA and I arrived to hear two people singing and playing a guitar in the lobby. Quite fun.  I am finishing my 50th straight day of hot yoga and love that after class I received a text message from a woman on the east coast who was inspired by my journey, and has enrolled in a yoga class to start her journey. Yoga inspires. Tonight I laid on... Read more

Day 49 of 90: Moksha Yoga, You Have The Power

Last updated on: August 28, 2013 at 8:49 am   By David Matthew Brown

Day 49 of 90 days straight of hot yoga at Moksha Yoga LA and I was up early. I entered practice today with teacher Joe and felt tired.  Today’s class was at 6 am but my day is busy.  So I laid down on my mat, and closed my eyes and just relaxed into the warmth of the room.  As we started practice I noticed some nice things starting to blossom in my practice. I am focused, gentle with myself,... Read more

Day 48 of 90: Moksha Yoga, Hello Down Dog

Last updated on: August 27, 2013 at 4:33 pm   By David Matthew Brown

Day 48 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Moksha Yoga LA.  I was reminded today of the simplicity of the word “Hello”.  When was the last time you simply just sat next to someone and said, “Hello.” But instead we are always concerned, “How is your day going? What to you do for a living? How are you doing?” In yoga we meet every pose with “Hello”, then we are silent with it and rest in the gift... Read more

Day 45 of 90: Moksha Yoga, Nonviolence

Last updated on: August 24, 2013 at 11:19 am   By David Matthew Brown

Day 45 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Moksha Yoga LA and as I entered the half way point of this adventure into vulnerability, compassion, and the life within, I realized that our culture which means cult, spends a lot of time defending the outer, and so when I mention nonviolence I  am sure the focus outside  goes to guns, wars, and all the rest of it. But in this blog we are going to focus on the... Read more

Day 44 of 90: Moksha Yoga, Courtship and Cupid

Last updated on: August 23, 2013 at 2:47 pm   By David Matthew Brown

Well day 44 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Moksha Yoga LA finds me in the middle of long courtship, a very long courtship.  I laid on my mat and closed my eyes and focused on my breath, and two strange questions came up, “Who would I be without my breath? Who would I be without my thoughts?” and so my journey started today from there. The funny thing was the answers, “Who would I be without my... Read more

Last updated on: August 22, 2013 at 3:52 pm   By David Matthew Brown

Day 43 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Moksha Yoga LA and I entered the practice of Yan/Yin.  A mix of flow and restorative poses.  I entered the studio and laid down on the mat, closed my eyes and relaxed, allowing gravity to pull me down. My life off the mat is starting to take shape and move and expand. It has been a long road and every step has been earned, and learned.  We are always learning... Read more

Last updated on: August 21, 2013 at 4:16 pm   By David Matthew Brown

Day 42 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Moksha Yoga LA and in yesterday’s post I talked about the idea of “granted” and today our teacher was Grant, funny, but an answered prayer.  Grant really enforced again, the power of the breath, and really reminded our class today of the moments we stop breathing. I notice in my life off the mat I stop breathing when I forget to allow life to unfold.  Grant has tremendous strength both... Read more
