December 30, 2011

Aloha love,

Here we are, at the completion of another calendar year...

This time of year is such a perfect time for reflection back upon

what we created with the past 12 months of our lives.

Whether you are one to set goals, intentions or any other type of

structured way to put your ideas and dreams into a written form,

I feel one of the most powerful things we can do is acknowledge

all that you have accomplished already both inside of yourself

and out in the world.

For me, the real juicy goodness comes from acknowledging the powerful

expansion that occurs in our hearts, minds and souls.

Thoughts like, am I a more compassionate person then this time last year?

Do I have a good relationship with my father (mother, husband, wife, boss, etc)?

Have I been of service to others in a positive way,

when they needed me?

These types of thoughts make us realize the multi dimensional

creatures we are, and how everything affects everything.

So this weekend (or right now!), take this time, to sit with yourself.

All you need is a paper and pen and your own open heart and mind.

Write 3 headings:

1). What did I accomplish this year? (list EVERY LITTLE THING! you'll be suprised by all you have done, and it will boost your confidence to take the next steps)

2). Which relationships did I invest time to cultivate, strengthen &/or heal this year?

And then consider:

3). What am I most inspired to create with the next 12 months?

Every new year (and every day actually)

we get to start brand new, with a whole new set of paint brushes

and a clean canvas to create the landscape of our heart's desires and dreams.

*Create (Visualize)- What does your heart & soul desire to create in 2012?

*Partner (Give)- Who can you partner with to gain (and give) the support

necessary to take your ideas to the next level and manifest into the material world?

*Opportunities (Receive)- What opportunities are appearing for you now,

that may be in alignment for you to simply open the door

and let in the blessings you've been calling in?

*Let go (allow)- What must you let go of, that is no longer serving you,

that will allow your life to be more 'In the Flow?'

(ie - pride, ego, being right, etc)

And last but not least,

*Transform (Become)- What areas of my physical health must I address immediately,

since I understand that my physical health and condition is often

a map of my mental, emotional and spiritual self expressing itself through

my physical body. It may take some time, but now is the best time to begin!

These questions should keep you busy for a little while :)

It is my humble desire to help you in any way I can.

I have created a few new opportunities for us to connect,

if you wish to take our relationship a bit deeper.

Live Video Coaching!

We can now do online skype coaching here on my friends new website,

check it out and sign up if you are ready to meet me online. There are several categories

to select from, topics include: yoga, nutrition, guided meditation, career coaching for

yoga teachers and health professionals, and more :)

We're adding a Pranashama YTT in Miami Beach, USA!

If you didn't know yet, I have relocated back to Miami Beach, FL to live.

After almost 2 years in LA, I missed my warm aqua blue ocean,

clean air to breath and amazing sunshine. They don't call Miami

"Magic City" for no reason! It is truly wonderful here :)

I can't wait to share this place with you!

I've been scouting for locations to host a training,

and have found a perfect one!

This March (dates tba asap) I will host a 7-14 day

YTT program, which you can earn up to 100 hours toward

your yoga teacher training certification in the gorgeous Miami Beach :)

If you are interested in learning about this, there will be a limited

number of spots available and pre-registration must be made by Feb. 1, 2012..

so post on facebook or email me directly if you would like to be put on the

waiting list for that training. And stay tuned for more details.

2012 Scholarship Contest

The contest is going great. We have over 30 entries now, and growing.

If you have a desire to join us in Bali this June for the 30 day yoga training

retreat, but finances are an obstacle, please enter to possibly win a scholarship.

Keep in mind, we will award more then just the full ride. We also

are offering several $500 scholarships to help people out with tuition,

for this life changing transformational Journey of a Lifetime.

Aloha my love!

I hope you had a beautiful weekend.

I'm excited to share with you the new video I produced last week.

It's part of a Hugs & Love Challenge I created with Spaweek.com

and which is free to join and starting next week.

It's simple.

All you have to do is hug at least one person each day for 2 weeks.

This is perfect for the holiday times (and all year round) since this is such

a stressful time of year for many people, and hugging helps relieve stress!

Not only that, but scientifically speaking, hugging has been linked to improved

heart health and reversal of depression ;)

Need I say more?

Watch the video here:

(ps. I think you'll love the soundtrack I picked! :)

I'll send out the link when its ready for you to join, its FREE!

Dreams coming True! Pranashama Yoga on the Isle of Man, UK

October 20, 2011

When I was a little girl, I used to dream of visiting castles and horse back riding through emerald green fields along cliff sides and through Sherwood forest type settings.

This was inspired by British grandparents (from London), my love of Robbin Hood as well as the book Scarlett (the sequel to Gone with the Wind).

Back in those days, they were merely fantasies I'd entertain in my mind and hardly had a thought these dreams could come true and one day I'd be here, living my dreams to the fullest.

As a child we had very little money, my parents built our home deep in the forest miles away from everyone, to be more connected with nature and possibly so we didn't have to interact with the hectic stresses like other people in society. We had a garden, a wood stove to cook and heat our home and my mother always made our clothing and all meals with her own hands. As result of this, I had found solace in practicing yoga, hiking, swimming in the rivers and reading adventure fantasy and mystery novels from a young age.

The power of the mind is what fascinates me deeply more then anything these days. As soon as we allow a single thought into our mind, we are already on our way to creating the material manifestation in our lives. Most people go around doing this unconsciously, therefore are creating a life by default and wondering why things are turning out this way.

August 26, 2011 Travel & Tourism news in Los Angeles,California, United States of America

Dashama will visit 12 countries teaching Pranashama Yoga workshops and retreats during the Global Book Tour for the expanded edition release of Journey to Joyful.

Dashama's Global Book Tour for Journey to Joyful Scheduled to Include 12 Countries in Partnership with Yoga Health Foundation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Los Angeles, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) August 26, 2011 --LOS ANGELES, August, 2011 -- Dashama's Global Book Tour, Journey to Joyful, kicks off this September in partnership with National Yoga Month and Yoga Health Foundation. Starting with a 5 day yoga and thai massage immersion in Mexico, she will jet over to Europe at the end of September visiting Finland, Vienna, Paris, Milan, Spain, Scotland, 3 cities in UK, Isle of Man and Ibiza. Her only full week retreat scheduled for this fall will take place in Ibiza, Europe's choice for vacationing in the Mediterranean. The Ibiza Retreat will take place October 8-14 and is accepting a limited number of participants at their private villa on the ocean. Catered by raw organic and vegan cuisine, there will also be seafood options and the group will follow a special diet to help participants detoxify and drop body fat. 3 Yoga Classes per day will be available with plenty of time to soak up the sunshine and jog along the cliffs over looking aqua blue ocean views. On October 21 & 21 Dashama and Dave Smyth will cut the ribbon for the first Pranashama Yoga Studio on the Isle of Man. Located between UK and Ireland in the Irish Sea, Isle of Man is a hide-away escape for Londoners who are known to commute to and from work by a short 40 minute flight to avoid hectic city traffic. The ribbon cutting and workshops sold out in less then 12 hours, but there will be video footage captured and viewable, as the entire tour is being broadcast via Youtube and Dashama's Online Journey to Joyful Reality TV Show .

Journey to Joyful is being called 'The New Yoga Bible" by her publishers at North Atlantic Books and has been praised by magazines and her peers as an important book to inspire readers to live a happy healthy life, despite life's challenges and especially in times of adversity. Jetting back to the USA, Dashama will fly directly into NYC October 24, to attend 'An Evening with Ralph Lauren Charity Event', hosted by RL and Oprah Winfrey. "In times of great economic, environmental and health related challenges, such as those we are facing right now, it is imperative that we have great leadership to help people see a light at the end of the tunnel. Better days are coming and the next golden age is closer then we think. Right now, people are discovering the true essence of happiness and being encouraged to look within themselves for courage, strength and to discover their unique purpose. The more people who are ignited with purpose for their life, the better this world can become. When we allow others time and space to shine, we collectively create a more beautiful world for us all to live in. It's a win-win for all."

(Dashama near Kuta Beach, Bali 2011)

Aloha my love, I am writing you from Ananda Resort, overlooking the rice fields & monkey jungle

with the warm sunshine and breezes melting my heart more each day.

This journey has been far more profound than any of us had ever expected,

as the entire group has been experiencing the deep transformational

Pranashama Yoga program.

For the first week, each day was dedicated to one of the major energy centers,

as we dove in deep into our chakras to discover who and what we truly are creating in our lives.

Life long friendships are being formed, through the hours of laughing, crying, anger, bliss and a full spectrum of emotions have been arising for our group as we journey toward a more expanded state of living and being.

The food has been nothing short of DELICIOUS!

Far exceeding my expectations, we discovered raw, vegan, healthy,

seafood and many other options available at local restraunts in Ubud, to nourish our bodies and souls in alignment with the 3 Stage Energy Detox Diet plan. :) Yay!

Superfood smoothies each day for lunch has been the winning selection

to keep our energy levels high to practice yoga all day every day, (we've been starting at 7am!)

The group's favorite has been the chocolate butterfly... I will post some of these amazing

recipes in the 30dayyogachallenge.com members area asap when I get some time :)

30DYC Continues...

For everyone who is practing along with us from home to experience this 30DYC Lifestyle transformation, WE ARE SENDING YOU OUR LOVE!

There is still time to register and join in with the community from your home,

you can CLICK HERE to see both options and register now.
I was delighted to hear that our $1,000 winner from 30DYC early this year, is considering getting certified to teach yoga now as well. This is the life shifting that happens all the time with these programs. It is so beautiful to witness
someone become inspired and sharing information that can create health and happiness for others in the world.
Thank you for being the change we wish to see in the world.

The Highlight of our Journey so Far...

I will post the photos and videos from the life shifting experience we had at

the orphanage this week, as we were surprised to discover the entire group of children (30 in total) was both deaf and mute and for many of them, they were able to hear for the first time, when we played the high pitch healing sound of my Tibetan Singing bowl with the kids!! It was unreal and magical.

We also played ball with the boys at the orphanage and yoga, dance and much more.

So far, it was the highlight of our trip for many of the Pranashama Yoga students.

Follow Us...

I have been keeping some updates on facebook and twitter, so you can follow us there.

We also have a group page, but I have to admit we've been having so much fun immersed here, we haven't been updating the pages as much as we'd planned! ;)

I wanted to post some videos while we are here, but the internet connection is slow...

I will post them when I get back to the USA..

I have hours of footage already and only 1/3 through this journey of a lifetime.

I am also going to be making the decision to reserve Ananda Resort to host a Pranashama Yoga Training Retreat next summer, so if you are seriously, or casually considering joining us in the future, post on facebook or send an email and let us know you'll be joining us next year.

Today we travel up to the 2nd leg of our journey, at Mimpi Resort,

located on the ocean with natural hot springs on the property and home of some of the

best snorkeling and diving locations in the world!

18 days to go!

Sending you love and blessings all ways,

Love, Light and Namaste

Dashama
