Day 28: Moksha Yoga, Wrestling With Yourself

Last updated on: August 13, 2013 at 8:55 am   By David Matthew Brown

I approached day 28 of 30 straight days of hot yoga at Moksha at 6 am.  As walked to the 6 am class, I found myself arguing with myself, more like wrestling with myself.  Weighing my life, weighing this blog, weighing my choices, weighing lots of things.  Lots of weight I was carrying with me.  Every once in a blue moon I have this kind of argument with myself. But I am wiling to admit it.  Not hide it, escape... Read more

Day 25: Moksha, Yoga Is Divine

Last updated on: August 13, 2013 at 8:55 am   By David Matthew Brown

Well my day started in the valley giving a talk on faith, seeing fear as inverted faith, and then going to stand in it. Day 25 of 30 straight days of hot yoga at Moksha Los Angeles continued with another YIN practice. Yin practice is a practice designed for longer holds, deeper, and it helps you get into the tissue.  When I arrived at the studio I placed my mat on the floor and laid down and I might have... Read more

Day 23: Moksha, Giving Birth On The Mat

Last updated on: August 13, 2013 at 8:55 am   By David Matthew Brown

I recognize that on my mat as I practice and blossom; that each pose is a like a mini birth, as I feel into and with the sensations of the body, I begin to birth a new me. A me that can handle things, breath with them, breath into them, and relish peace of mind, rather than allowing the pettiness of the mind or others to disturb this inner peace. The peace is the strength and when nothing can disturb it, then life has a new vantage point to express from. Read more
