Rasamaya Teacher Trainees - does this video remind you of my Rules of teaching? 1. it must come authentically from the heart 2. You need to recognize you are 'on stage'when you teach - as such your personal luggage never has a place in the space you are holding for your students 3. never use phrases such as 'er' ...'um' and my personal least favorites 'i want you to' and 'now we're gonna'."

Rasamaya Movement Center Newburyport instructor Robin Marino talking about "Core""Many people have been asking me what the difference between Core & Barre is - Think Barre, but *more*. We still go through all parts of the body, but there's no barre to rely on - all standing work is done free-standing. Sometimes people refer to this as "Standing Pilates", but whatever you call it, it's an

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. “

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

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.

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

I know the trains in India are next to impossible to understand, and I have been warned intently time and time again since arriving that the trains are not safe for a woman traveling alone. However, the organization I used to reserve my travel arrangements booked two legs of my journey on a train, so I just

Today was Sanjay my driver’s birthday. For his birthday he really wanted to go see a Bollywood film. He kept insisting I needed to see the theater in Jaipur. I'm so glad I agreed. It was absolutely gorgeous, two floors, with state of the art sound equipment, dark wood sculpted paneling in the lobby, and white sculpted wall interior. I understand why he was so excited to show it to me. The cinema

The poverty here is deafening. That is the word that keeps coming up when I try to think of how to describe it. It shouts out at you from every single city block, every corner, every side street, and every monument. I cannot even begin to describe it. I am trying to capture it on film, but until you experience it firsthand there are really no words. There is housing constructed of old pieces of

"Wanna pet my snake?" If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that line I'd be a rich lady. But this time, I'm afraid it was for real. I've been hanging my head out the car window trying to snap images of Indian life, when I'm whipped back into reality by a "holy man" with a giant chocolate colored snake at the driver window. Sanjay my driver quickly grabs a coin touches it to the snake and

Delhi."What's that? Is that Hanuman?" I am pointing at a 60 foot tall giant pink monkey sculpture in the middle of downtown Delhi. "It's a temple" says my guide and with eyebrows raised - "wanna go see?" How could I say no - it's a 60 foot tall sculpture in the middle of insane traffic. After we navigate the traffic and the beggars, I'm instructed to wash my hands, take off my shoes, and in we go

"Shit!" Milan Kumar, my young driver exclaimed as he mutters a quick prayer and makes the sign of the cross or just an "x" on the windshield. A striped tabby has just run in front of our taxi. "I thought only black cats were bad luck," I pipe up from the back seat. "No. No. Lady - all cats... very, very, bad luck." Excellent. We are just leaving the airport and my trip hasn't even started.India

So finally after five years of trying to make space for this trip, I am leaving for India in a little less than two weeks. I booked this trip on the heels of big changes in my life, as an almost impulsive gesture. I think there are just times in your life that you can't deny the deep voice inside that says "just go." There is a big world out there to experience, and sometimes you just need to
