A wise friend, mentor,  Baptiste teacher Brandon Compagnone told me always "Get CLEAR ON what you want, stay true to that, and watch THE UNIVERSE LINE THINGS UP FOR YOU"

Well, Brandon NEVER disappoints, even if my residual  inner critic was a bit skeptic at the time.. Earlier that summer, before I moved away from my old community, I went  as always to the spring to fill up my gallon jugs! Once you have mountain fresh spring water, pretty hard to go back to the town watah! Well, I am not special or unique, EVERYONE goes to the springs, That day while waiting my turn,   I was bored , no Yoga journal to read in my car that day, so,  I happened to write a bunch of hopeful phrases on my gallon jugs of water, things I wanted to manifest in my life. I somehow got this idea that   even famous people were people TOO, and also carried their own unique luggage even  in their first class lifestyle. I wrote "teach famous people" and left it at that.

I basically kept drinking out of my jugs, starting writing on more, but really just  forgot about it... "Crockpot cookery manifesting- fix it, and forget about it"

Apparently, the  universe wanted to see me get what I put out there! (A lesson to us all)    One day this past summer, while meandering through  my emails, I jumped on Facebook to receive a humble invite to teach a class at Meadowbrook concert pavillion...."He"y, are you available to teach a class at Meadowbrook at 2 pm?

" The class is for the crew of the rap group that's playing that night...Whiz Kalifa? "

I read it again, and again.. then I got it that I needed to NOT sit and keep reading it,  TAKE ACTION to what I had asked for  and FREAKING  respond!!!  So, here YOU GO.... THanks so much Lori, Bridget, Meadowbrook, Brooke, Luke, Brandon, Jade, and to Wiz Khalifa's crew for being straight up and humble... and such a privelege to teach me that no matter who you are, or how famous you are, we are all still HUMAN and still in need of breath and movement and time AwAY from all, yes even the spotlight, the fans , the crowd, the haze and the  blaze!!!  May we ALL reach for the stars and keep it REAL all at once! Let the music play!!! Love Aimee

Long before Mickey D's was giving you the greenlight on giving yourself a break, there was 5000 year old yoga!!!

Bottom line, if you have people that need your care, attention, presence.. you often won't have their sight to encourage you to take a pit stop for yourself... Before you get to off track in the drive thru of your own life, STOP! SLam on the brakes, and UNroll that mat.. Tell everyone that you will be MUCH MUCH Better for them after just a short time to recharge you! You may meet resistance but bottom line, if you lack aliveness, energy, focus, and clarity you will be soon resistant to the ship you gotta keep running soon enough. You know what they say, "never wait till one is thirsty before digging a well" ...

Your body is the prime source and well of energy, enthusiasm, creativity, focus .. and often as you forget, once your on this path yoga helps you to know BEING IN your body keeps you centered, awake, focused, clearly aligned in head, softer in heart, and clear with living and breathing and doing RIGHT.. DO your body good, take a time out for yourself.. I need my words AS much as I offer them.. So, we will do it together! Love Aimee xxoo THanks for the love and praise for my work. xxoo

We can show up in this life portraying things anyway we want. Often when asked how we are, we habitually answer "Fine" "Good" "Great" but on only yoga can TRULY answer how we feel! Here is your chance to have a space where YOU get to go underneath the surface of your words, your smile, your appearance, your thoughts, and REALLY get inside yourself and get to know what is REALLY up.. Underneath our habitual nods, shrugs, smiles, and response, and day to day living , there is something amazing that often we miss out on bringing to the surface and sharing with others.. PRESENCE, ALIVENESS, ENTHUSIASM, PASSION, CREATIVITY, JOY, LAUGHTER..

Yoga and I invite you to get real.. Get underneath the surface of anything your managing outside yourself, get underneath the surface of head chatter, habit and GET AUTHENTIC and CLEAR and in touch again with your FRESH VITALITY.. YOga is a great excuse to "freshen up" , to reset to ZERO, to dig inside and bring MORE LIVE US out there! You and your loved ones deserve to NOT let HABIT, and ROUTINE rule your life. Go under and retrieve your big SPONTANEOUS spirit! ALways remember , I could not do this work without YOU.. love you podcaster!!! From Dubai to Derry NH.. and everyone and everywhere in between! Namaste, Aim

"We are shaped just as much by those who leave as well as those who remain" ... This power yoga class is warmly dedicated to a fine lady, mother figure, and friend that the world lost this year, Miss Barbara June Griggs. Barb was a powerful and influential woman in my life who taught me at a young age the value of serving love, not serving fear! What made her so unforgettable to me was that she did this by the way she lived and showed up for me in my life, not just lip service. Barb was a woman who we lost to soon, and who deserves to be remembered WELL... TO all of you who have lost someone the world could use more of.. It is my hope that this class will gently, warmly offer you the space to remember that incredible character that came onto the scene of your life as well. What is this life for if not to make it less difficult for each other? For all those that turned out for this class, I thank you as well. Love you all. YogaAimee
