Namaste Noble Warriors!

“There is the practice of yoga

of the body, mind, and atma (soul) –

always fruitful, and it gives to each

through practice what he seeks.”

-Yoganjalisaram by Krishnamacharya

In ten minutes, my beautiful Greg “Kalyana Mitra” Diaz will finish teaching the inaugural class at my brand new High Performance Yoga� studio on Ventura Boulevard, in Tarzana, CA.

As surely as today’s ambitious sun dances upwards into the tired reach of night, a new chance for positivism, personal growth, and peacefulness arises in LA from a small space where formerly, none existed. Ripples make waves. If but one customer starts to feel better about the quality and potential of their life and begins to feel their natural state of unconditional Joy…even if for a moment…then my job, and the efforts of all the angels who helped me created this ripple of yoga in this big city, has been faithfully served.

Before leaving home at age 17, my mom told me, “Steve, just be good, and do good. Just try to be kind to people.”

Now, forty-one years old, i still do my best to uphold those noble instructions. It’s difficult making one’s unique, self supported Way in the world by being honest and kind. Dragon forces are everywhere. For me, i sliced my way through the Darkness by competitive outdoor sports which were masking themselves as a gateway into yoga. Really, each are one in the same. All paths lead to yoga, say the Masters. What they meant was, “Whatever you do, do it impeccably and with devotion and perseverance you will ultimately find union.” Well, today, and at least for the next four years, you can enjoy practicing yoga with me and my truly gifted staff as we help each other along the amazing Way of our unique and sacred journeys.

I bow to you. I know how hard the struggle of awareness is. It is as difficult as living a good and noble life. But the difficulty is intended. It separates the warriors from the quitters. By devoting ourselves to Difficulty we find ourselves in fact, freed from it. Let’s help each other get free, okay? I am here. My studio and international tribe of Wholistic Fitness Warriors are here. Direct Lines is here. You have many allies for your ascent Higher. We will help each other be good and do good. The kids of today need a lot more peaceful, weaponless spiritual warriors as role models. If not for yourself, then for them…do the inner work.

See in you in class…i hear there is a kickass new yoga studio in town…
