The thought crossed my mind that I should introduce myself, and my purpose in writing this blog. I will keep the first part brief, because who I am will inevitably unfold with my posts. For now, I will say that my name is Caitlin. I am a writer, yoga practitioner, teacher (I try), runner, dancer, novice musician, quiet contemplator, friendly conversationalist, and an avid lover of: cats, cooking, road trips, wine, the written word and my Husband. Yes, I capitalized that last item because he's my favorite.
As for my purpose in writing this blog, bear with me while I get my thoughts in order. What exactly is my purpose? The last two years of my life have been a whirlwind; I've recently reached a space in which I can take a breath and a look back over my shoulder. Now, a hypothetical look down at my feet: here I am; married, teaching yoga classes, smiling, breathing, enjoying, loving... Blissfully settled. I prefer not to delve too much into my personal journey right now - perhaps it will come out in time - but I will tell you that a couple years ago I was singing a different tune - as a sad, confused and searching young girl.
Love, Yoga and a Determined Heart turned out to be the tonic I needed to get back in touch with myself. The love turned me upside-down and shook the sadness from the small corners and crevices of my being. It reminded me of the great beauty of this world. It presented me with self reflection and made me want to present my best Self. The Yoga revealed my best Self, and the possibility of attaining it. The Determined Heart keeps me on my path when I falter.
What I'm trying to say is, I've learned a thing or two in the last year, and as a result (or cause? I'm not sure..) I've deepened my yoga practice. I've experienced some amazing, ground-breaking, Caitlin-evolving life lessons in the realm of yoga - on my mat and off. The lessons that I have (painfully at times) taken to heart have launched me into this beautiful life I'm living now. Through this blog, I want to share my teaching and practicing experience, along with little yogi tidbits - revelations, lessons, laughs, advice, thoughts, questions - that I collect along the way. EEE... We shall see what unfolds.
From My heart to Yours,
Caitlin
