Gratitude is the Key! No days off a Yoga Sadhana
Obstacles to well being are fear, greed, anger, hatred, all of the negative frequencies that can come up for us that are all stopping us from experiencing peace in our hearts. So as I said, I could have spoken this entire talk in five minutes because it’s overwhelmingly simple. It all comes down to, “Can you use awareness to improve the quality of your daily life by suspending your thoughts when they’re not related to gratitude or surrender or compassion?”
Can you practice asana everyday so that you can sit still? This is a spiritual practice. The word is called Sadhana. If you don’t know it, you’ve got to write it down. Sadhana is your spiritual practice. It’s a daily thing. So in our teacher’s training, our sadhana, a lot of it, some of it will be on the mats, there will be meditation at home. I will give you what your Sadhanas are. The sum total of everything that I tell you to do for your spiritual practice is your sadhana. There are no days off for sadhana, ever.
You already had your last day off from yoga. You already took it. Now your days off in yoga are over, every single day for the rest of your life, no exceptions. This is yoga. This is the real spiritual practice. If your physical practice is just physical and you go to the gym, say you’re really disciplined and you decide “I’m going to go to the gym every day for the rest of my life. I’m going to the gym; I’m going to work out every day.” Work out, physical stuff. Well someone gets in the way one day and tells you “It’s not easy to work out.” So what do you do? Just skip it! Big deal. Seriously, who cares? I dieted 58 straight days, I’ll get a day off. It’s not a big deal, who cares? Sadhana never takes a day off.
You don’t take a day off in giving thanks to God.
Forgiveness has nothing to do with the other person!
When you’re not forgiving somebody, it’s because you’re holding on to hatred or you’re holding on to some sort of animosity. You’re holding on to a negative energy inside yourself about that. There’s something about them that when you think about them, you get mad. You get angry. You have not forgiven them. Now, who is suffering when that happens?
You.

Kenya Yoga Safari - Africa New Years Retreat with Fred Busch Power Yoga
Travel to Africa - HELP WILDLIFE CONSERVATION and AFRICA YOGA PROJECT! This is a trip that will help make the world a better place for local Kenyans and Kenyas efforts for conservation by supporting a local Wildlife Ranch run by Far-Sighted Kenyans who want to preserve and conserve the wildlife. Join us on Safari that will make a difference and see Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Leopard, Giraffe, Hippos, Crocs, Impala, Hyena, Cheetah and so much more!!!!
The Kenya Yoga Safari will be a world class trip! I just got off the phone with my team in Nairobi and we are headed to a private game camp which is literally impossible for anyone without my connections to get to. It is in the 'BUSH' and it will be our home base! I can not express how excited i am to go there and bring my friends and students! I have two of my best friends in the world guiding us and the trip is literally gonna be UNBELIEVABLE. This area we are going usually prices at about $700 per night but with my connections we are going to a place that is run by local MAASAI and is absolutely pristine. I am giddy with excitement to bring people here!
Deposits are coming in now! Join the small group going to spend New Years in Africa for the Kenya Yoga Safari with me and my incredibly close Kenyan friends.
We will be guided and spending time with Maraka, Mboya, and Kwame, friends who have been like brothers to me for over 18 years.
We will be bringing donated yoga mats from the states to support the Africa Yoga Project, and hopefully raise some small donations to assist their world changing mission! And in addition to our two big safaris, we will tour their Nairobi yoga classes and meet local Nairobi teachers who Paige has tranformed their life from street kids who would sniff glue and be hopeless, to Yoga Masters! It is literally beyond our imagination how beneficial the work that Paige Elenson is doing in Nairobi and beyond. I hope we can all support them as much as possible and get sponsors and raise some funds so that our trip will have a real positive impact!
