Day 41 of 90: Moksha Yoga, Granted

Last updated on: August 20, 2013 at 1:03 pm   By David Matthew Brown

I walked into day 41 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Moksha Yoga LA and placed my mat down. Laying down in the room, and following my breath, I focused on the abundance of breath that is breathing me now. How much I take my breath for granted, how much I take this life for granted, even how others have taken me for granted, or I have taken others for granted.  So I was led on my mat... Read more

Last updated on: August 19, 2013 at 1:02 pm   By David Matthew Brown

Today marks number 40 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Moksha Yoga LA and it also marks opportunity.  As I entered my 40th day, I also entered a day which has many different options. We all make plans and then those plans shift and we have to go with the flow. I have learned and continue to learn to fly with it.  Be with it. And most importantly as I am with it, whatever it is, I am... Read more

Day 39 of 90: Moksha Yoga, Yin and The Plant

Last updated on: August 18, 2013 at 4:54 pm   By David Matthew Brown

I moved into day 39 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Moksha Yoga LA with a gentle practice called YIN.  I was looking forward to this practice with a busy week approaching. YIN is a practice that has long holds, and helps in restoring the body with longer stretches and breathing.  I like to do this practice at least twice a week. It helps me with clarity and peace of mind.  It has been beneficial in a lot... Read more

Day 38 of 90: Moksha Yoga, IS?

Last updated on: August 17, 2013 at 10:45 am   By David Matthew Brown

As I entered day 38 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Moksha Yoga LA  I was a little sluggish but excited for my practice.  I laid briefly on my mat this morning and contemplated the warmth of the room and the word “IS” entered my mind.  I love yoga. I love it because everyday on my mat there is something to be with, explore, and most importantly breath with as well.  As I sat with the word “IS”,... Read more

Day 37 of 90: Moksha Yoga, What is my motivation?

Last updated on: August 16, 2013 at 12:36 pm   By David Matthew Brown

I walked into day 37 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Moksha Yoga LA with a thought moving in my awareness, “What  is my motivation?”  As I continue to practice on my yoga mat, I am noticing the benefits off my mat as well, including patience, and mindfulness.  An example of this was last night, I was about to say something to someone and stopped, then the question came, “What is my motivation here? Is this the right... Read more

Day 36 of 90: Moksha Yoga, Gravity and Breath

Last updated on: August 15, 2013 at 4:41 pm   By David Matthew Brown

I walked into day 36 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Moksha Yoga LA with an intention to extend.  I laid on my mat and closed my eyes and focused on my breath. As I laid there resting in my breath, I became aware of my legs extending, my arms extending at my side, and the breath extending.  I felt gravity pulling me down on my mat, and the space of the room around me.

Last updated on: August 13, 2013 at 8:57 am   By David Matthew Brown

As I approached day 33 of 90 straight days of Moksha Yoga LA I was tired. I entered the studio at 7:30 am and laid on my mat and closed my eyes.  Feeling the floor below me, and letting gravity pull me down, I focused on the breath.  It was here I noticed the shift from feeling tired to feeling a little invigorated.  The invigoration was the awareness of commitment.  Here I am committing to 90 straight days of hot... Read more
