Greetings!
YBB is getting RED-HOT!
Red for celebrating friendships and love and HOT for the yoga! YBB will be offering HOT YOGA classes soon because you've asked for it, because you love it, and we love it too!  I have to say after our youngest child, Jai, decided to ween himself, walk, and sleep through the night, I feel like I'm waking up from a looong dream. Now I feel I'm on fire, wanting to arrange fun things to share with you at the studio. Since its hard to travel when you have little ones, I said to myself: "If Muhammad can't go to the mountain, let's bring the mountain to Muhammad"! I am very pleased and excited to announce we have several amazing people coming to Lincoln to share their wisdom, their passion, their love! What better month to start than February, the month of love and friendship and relationships? I can't wait myself to be in their presence and take classes with all the great teachers who are coming. Valentine's Day or not, make sure you always do something special for yourself and for others. Let loved ones know as much as possible how much you care, how much you love them, not by words, but by actions. Show them your love! Happy valentines day! Tataya

May
Nova will come from Glenwood Springs Colorado to offer a life changing experience May 9-10. She will guide you through a Tantric Goddess and Anusara Yoga immersion that you just can't miss!
September and November  The last weekend of September (25, 25 & 27) and the first weekend in November (6,7 & 8) we have internationally known teacher Anthony Bogart presenting the principles of his new Health & Freedom Yoga Therapy Manual. Anthony gracefully invites us to "fall in love with life again," and this training is not just for people who are ill, but for anyone. To quote Anthony: "Albert Einstein said that problems cannot be solved on the level of consciousness at which they were created. All of our challenges bare invitations to change into a more fully evolved being. Move into desire to heal and allow space for becoming your own surprise." So get inspired and fall in love! Don't miss it!

from Thomas
"Daddy, are you happy?"
 Our daughter, Oliva, has begun to ask a very telling question. "Daddy, are you happy?" WOW. This question has made her my little guru -- not only the question, but her timing. Let me tell you, for all those interested in your own spiritual evolution, children put forth very little effort to turn it into a revolution.
Am I happy? Of course, she is asking when I'm not. So how do I answer? Ah, yes and here I am in the middle of my off-the-mat yoga practice. Satya, truthfulness, is the first thing that comes to mind. Telling the truth to Oliva at times calls for a little evasiveness, but more importantly, "What is truthfulness to myself?" Growing up, I was blindly happy, never sad, right? Today growing truthfulness to myself means being brutally honest, recognizing, and then acknowledging the current situation.
Surprisingly there are days Oliva can ask this question four or five times. It's like having a monkey on my shoulder, whispering, "Are you actually enjoying your life?" It is on those days Satya doesn't get easier, but it does become clearer. Through these eyes tapas comes next. Tapas is usually translated as "effort" or '"internal fire." In this case, I use it as the burning desire or the direction and effort I take my own learning and growth. I could ignore the anger and focus on Oliva or see where this ride will take me.
Svadhyaya, self study, and I roll through and number of questions to break down my current state of perception. Why is it I'm unhappy? Why am I wishing I were doing something else? What situation am I still holding onto? Who am I still blaming for my being upset? It is always a pleasure to find a resolution for the anger (resolution for the situation or whatever caused the anger in the first place), but more important than resolution is being present with my daughter because that's the way she likes me. Alas, if I can truly throw up my arms and let go at the top of the first big roller coaster drop, the ride is swift, fun, and I've lived. Life is fun. The more angry I may be, the more fun I'll have when I turn it around. When I hold on, I white knuckle it all the way through. My teacher in Colorado always used to say, "The best way to the resolution of a situation is straight through."
So it is, and there I find Santosha, contentment, contentment in accepting life. Accepting life -- we'll talk on that next month. In the mean time, I'm sure my little yogini daughter will keep me on my game, in my life and loving it. I hope the love of your life brings you the truth of yourself too. We can all spread a little more love.
