I had totally forgotten what it’s like to have those “first time” nervous tensions swarm over me. You would think at my age and after all I have gone through in my life that these would have dissipated by now.

However, getting ready for YogaHub’s first Teleseminar Series was not – I repeat – not easy on my mind, body, or spirit. I was rattled for several days. I felt myself going through all sorts of emotions and feeling physically nauseated. And my spirit…well, where on earth was it? (more…)

Okay, do you remember one of my previous blogs about social networking?

I couldn’t believe that I didn’t know what to do in MyYogaHub. I didn’t know how to use it even though it was a tool we had built for the community.

I was frazzled!

I was petrified! (more…)

I had such a good laugh out loud today as I was perusing through our new upgraded YogaHub Site. This site has been my vision for so many years and we have the most incredible team of individuals striving for its success.

Well, my goodness! Did I ever, ever feel totally embarrassed!

Would you believe that I did not even know how to make friends in MyYogaHub social networking space?! (more…)

Do you own a yoga studio? If so, how would you feel if you were told you’d have to start charging a sales tax? Yes, that’s right – the tax man cometh!

Charging their clients a sales tax is the dilemma that yoga studios and teachers in the state of Washington are currently facing. Recently, the Department of Revenue in that state notified the owners of yoga studios that they would have to start charging a sales tax. Why? Because it was decided that yoga is considered a form of exercise and therefore, under the law, it is subject to sales tax. (more…)

Who doesn’t want a local yoga studio in their neighborhood? Easy to get to and close to other daily conveniences, a local studio could also encourage more people to experience the benefits of yoga. But what happens when a yoga studio is not considered an acceptable retail service under the township’s code?

That is exactly what the Township Committee of the Cranford, New Jersey community has been debating over the past few weeks. (more…)

It’s easy to take mindless action, to keep moving the wheel forward. However, this tendency for motion serves us best when it is tempered with reflection. (more…)

Yesterday, you read about inquiry as a means of side-stepping those dastardly “to-do’s” that try and detour you from your main goal. There’s more to say about them… (more…)

Yesterday, I had a conversation with a yoga teacher who was having a problem making progress on her goal of getting a website. Every time she started to take a step, another step would arise that needed to be addressed. It was one step forward and two back. (more…)

Yesterday, I wrote about hyperlinking back to your site when you comment or post in the YogaHub blog to gain visibility with both real people and those invisible spiders. I realized afterwards that this could lead readers to try and force-fit a sentence to include a hyperlink into the writing, even when it doesn’t fit with the content. Don’t force it – it makes your writing stilted and leaves the impression that the only reason you posted was to plug your own agenda rather than participate in a community. (more…)

For 17 days straight, I have written about how I have approached my goal of filling the Training the Trainer course. In all that time, I have not mentioned what’s been right under my nose: this YogaHub community. (more…)
