bhayanaka - fear in practice.
We have been talking about fear or the rasa "bhayanaka" in Rasamaya Yoga teacher training lately. As always when you practice any of the rasas as a daily sadhana (practice) they seem to come up in your face again and again. It forces you to face them whether you want to or not. I came across this quote this morning which is helping me face my own fears as I practice this sadhana this week.

Landing gear. Hi God... I'm listening.
I just received the strangest message on my phone at the most poignant of times...
"I just wanted to let you know that I am sending you pictures of the landing gear. I just wanted to let you all know it's on the way."
It's definitely a misplaced phone message from area code 321. But somehow tonight it felt like God calling. There was a part of me that wanted to pick up the phone and call back to say, "are you there God, it's me Carrie... I'm waiting for the landing gear."
And then of course... this started up while I was typing this post - it's "Such Great Heights" by Postal Service.
Andrew my beautiful partner tells me all the time that worry is useless, and that we will always be fine. So I am going to stop paying bills and worrying and go to bed with the sweet vision that there is truly an angel on my shoulder guiding the way. At least for right now.

whirlwind - here comes hurricane carrie.
As is standard for me, I am finally crossing "write on your blog" off my honey-do list somewhere around 10:00 at night. It's only been on the list for two weeks. Needless to say, my life has been in high gear for the last few weeks.
I recently purchased a lovely studio in Newburyport, MA which will become the first true homebase for Rasamaya teacher trainings and classes. It has been yet another of life's gracious gifts which quite literally landed in my lap out of thin air.
Kerplunk.
As is my pattern, when I jump off the bridge into something risky like a new business venture (that makes sense no where on paper but everywhere in my brain), every door opens. It is my truth. Follow your heart I suppose is the deeper message.
I know that right now I am sitting on the brink of discovery and a new amazing chapter of my life. Open arms full of hope (let's be real for a minute - what else can you do when you take big risks - it's either eating hope for breakfast or a cardboard box on the side of the road - I'm going for hope with a side of buttered toast first. Box second.)
Today I started with a new group of teacher trainees. The first time a new group teaches their first Rasamaya warm-up it just makes my heart sing. I can appreciate where they are starting and I can see so clearly where they will end up. It's a gorgeous thing to witness. My great joy and maybe my best gift is helping teachers find their voice. I am so excited for this new group, what a lovely bunch.
I remember my first teacher training with Kathy at YogaVermont. I was thirsty for knowledge, and yet apprehensive of what I was getting myself into. And perhaps I should of been apprehensive, what I didn't know is that the decision to lead a life led by a constant spiritual pursuit leaves you never quite satiated. Every day I strive to learn more, teach more, learn more. It's an obsessive pattern. They say that those that can't do teach... since enlightenment isn't within my "do" I teach everything I learn. Really I'm nothing more than a talented parrot.
Living a life that allows me the opportunity to use movement as a path to my own searching for spiritual enlightenment is a gift. Movement simply provides a platform for me to ask the hard questions of my own life... to the point of exhaustion. I wonder what life would of been like if I had chosen the life of a financial planner (which was the other option at the cross roads decision point where I decided to follow my heart to teach yoga).... or if I had become a marine biologist or doctor or lawyer. I'm sure somehow I would of ended up right where I am today.

Getting over the "they"
Has it really been so long that I have written or said anything of any substance? I have to admit in truth that I have shied away from writing anything that has any weight because I have been advised otherwise. The "they" of business society informed me that it was a bad executive choice to be authentic or share too much about my personal beliefs. For the last six months I have faltered between believing that I am brave enough to weather any kind of storm and believing that I have everything to lose from the wrong swipe of a pen, or in this case a keyboard.
The truth is since my trip to India last December I've held back a lot. While I was there I fell in love with sitting up at night locked in the silence of a hotel room where I could pour my heart into random thoughts on the screen that I thought no one would read. Sadly, some of those posts are now erased because of the "they." When I came home I was shocked to find out that so many people actually read my blog. Its amazing to find out that you may have many, many more "followers" than your blog might lead you believe. The amount of people that asked me to continue to write because I was able speak some small piece of their voice was astounding and shocking. Others followed my stories mostly out of human curiosity and others because they felt obligated as my friends and family. Regardless of the reason when I took a count, there were well over 100 people I knew reading these posts. That's scary. So when I came home I asked the "they" their opinion of such popularity - and as such I stopped writing.
Until last week.
I went back through musings I didn't publish after India. Half written comparisons of life to shoes, my feelings about being silenced, my thoughts on occasionally drinking too much wine, or crying in the middle of the day over despair for things beyond my control. I read each one to my lover and to myself, only to realize that there was still the same voice I had while I was away - the only difference was that she/me couldn't finish a complete thought because she/me didn't have the permission.... because "they" told her not to.
I wonder at what point my good Catholic upbringing became so imprinted on my persona that under the outward persona of fierce independence I actually was still the child that said "yes ma'am, no ma'am, and excuse me." I went through a phase as a child where I apologized to inanimate objects if I bumped into them. Now I find as an adult that I am just bumping into the contents of my own head.
So to my readers - I'm sorry. I know the dribble for the last few months has been boring. Sure, the playlists and announcements that promote my popularity as a movement teacher are lovely and all, especially if you know me and I am lucky enough to have you as one of my supporters. But in the haze of this field of creative movement, it's really mindless garbage and not what really most of us are thinking about. In some horrible business-driven mentality, it's almost as if when you don't speak your truth you are somehow better. Especially (and sadly) in the field of holistic wellness. It is easy for us as a society that constantly strives to "be better" to assume that anyone who has a nice public persona is "perfect" and therefore we should aspire to be them. As if the Gaiam poster child is something we can all obtain. So we don't talk about it. Or worse for those of us who write and teach in the field we end up talking about our lives in some other third person narrative as if we aren't actually talking about ourselves. For me, enough is enough.... time to write again.

yoga journal conference: business of being a yoga teacher
I am presenting at the Boston Yoga Journal conference this weekend on the business of being a yoga teacher. Today I had the great honor of sitting on a panel with Lynne Beiger of Back Bay Yoga in Boston, and the well known Natasha Rizopoulos. We answered questions in turn regarding social media, networking, marketing, hiring processes, etc. The responses were poignant, and many times we came up with different views and answers. That said - there was one consistent thread among our voices... authenticity of self in your marketing and business choices. If you don't want to twitter - don't. If you love to write newsletters - do it. If you would prefer to stand on your head in the middle of the street holding a sign between your toes that says "come to my yoga class" try it out. But whatever choice you make in business, let it come from the heart.
I had a woman come up to me after the panel who told me she only had a few students in a new workshop she just started offering. Slightly discouraged, she was considering that maybe it wasn't exactly worth it to continue the program. My response - "You had more than one! That's great! Keep going..."
Jen my partner at Dover Yoga & Pilates and I were talking this morning about choices in business on the drive down. She remarked that too often we are all too quick to change gears in business and not be willing to weather the storm to see the other side. I don't think this could be more true. Anytime that I have more than five people show up to listen to anything I have to say I consider that a triumph. We can't expect to start out with a village, perhaps we start with only one person. But if we nurture and put our effort into sharing our passion with that one person it may just turn out that she is the Queen in hiding who has an entire village of people that she knows... and so your class grows.
The question I believe we have to ask ourselves on a continual basis, especially when we are ready to throw the towel in, is whether or not we love what we do? Is teaching this workshop really making me happy or am I resentful that I'm not home with my children? Am I teaching yoga out of a place of love and joy, or because it's the latest thing I chose to do to make ends meet? Somewhere in the middle of those questions there is a balance. If you love what you do and it comes from the heart, it shows. The joy that you exude will overflow out of you and will spread to your students, and then from those students to their families and loved ones. That is simply bound to multiply. It is the perfect equation.
Never doubt the power of your ability to teach others, or the strength of manifestation that comes from leading life guided by only your heart... authentically.

March & April News from Rasamaya
Greetings!
"Beauty is a form of genius - is higher indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon. "
~ Oscar Wilde
When I think of the springtime I think of beauty. The budding flowers, the return of the songbirds, the warmth of the sun on my skin. These simple pleasures always offer me a renewed sense of hope, mission and freedom. A chance to be reborn from the cozy shell of winter. Springtime is the opportunity to clean out the cobwebs of my heart (and my closet) and to beckon in the new.
For myself, I have all my sights set on Rasamaya's continuing growth throughout the New England community. As many of you know, this is the first year that Rasamaya will be included as a class in the Boston Yoga Journal Conference in April, which I am so graciously honored to be a part of. In addition our own family of presenters and workshops continues to expand and grow and I am so pleased to announce that our 200hr teacher training program will not only include Dover, NH this fall but also Brattelboro, VT and Salem, NH.
I hope that this springtime offers to you all of its gifts, all of its blessings, and a chance to go play and enjoy.
love. love. love.
Carrie
Founder, www.rasamaya.com
P.S. A side note for my past and current teacher training students - don't forget to register for the Rasamaya Star Island retreat in August this year. Oh, and remember that database I promised you? It's officially in the works and should be operational by fall (all things considered).

Rasamaya Flying Aerial Yoga Workshop this Sunday
Workshop This Sunday! - ONLY A FEW SPOTS LEFT!!
Rasamaya Flying Aerial Yoga with Carrie Tyler & Crissy Trayner
See our video interview with Portsmouth Herald's Gossip Lady on YouTube
March 21 10-12am at Tristar Gym
Cost: $40 and $35 for members and students with valid ID
Ever dream of flying like Peter Pan? Now you can! Take your yoga practice off the ground and into the air… Aerial fabric flying is an outward body and mind expanding practice that utilizes a partner as a base to help the flyer experience gravity defying twists, backbends, and freedom. Safe mounting, dismounting, and how to base with confidence and trust will be explored. Aerial yoga focuses on the beautiful art form of how to move on circus silks. It is a very inward focused practice which becomes a dance between you and the fabric. Basic footlocks, climbing, and fun asanas will be explored.
This is a wonderful practice for couples, parents and children, old friends and the making of new friends. Space is limited to 25. Class is appropriate for all levels (except those with heart conditions or those who should not be practicing inversions).
This will be located at Tristar Gym, 66 3rd Street, Dover, NH 03820-3337. To register www.doveryoga.com

Happy New Year
i am running into a new year
Lucille Clifton
i am running into a new year
and the old years blow back
like a wind
that i catch in my hair
like strong fingers like
all my old promises and
it will be hard to let go
of what i said to myself
about myself
when i was sixteen and
twenty-six and thirty-six
even forty-six but
i am running into a new year
and i beg what i love and
i leave to forgive me
and the old years blow back
like a wind
that i catch in my hair
like strong fingers like
all my old promises and
it will be hard to let go
of what i said to myself
about myself
when i was sixteen and
twenty-six and thirty-six
even forty-six but
i am running into a new year
and i beg what i love and
i leave to forgive me
