Our Origin Stories

For those of us who are familiar with superhero myths, we know all about the significance of the superhero's origin story. There would be no Superman if his planet hadn't been destroyed before he was sent to earth. There would be no Batman if his parents hadn't been murdered in front of him. The superhero wouldn't even exist without a potent origin story, and we come to understand them better through the psychology of their back-stories.

Angie and I are not superheroes, though not for a lack of trying. We have done our time in Siddhasana in an attempt to cultivate our supernatural powers to no avail. Yet.

I digress... although we are not superheroes, we DO have personalities and teaching personas that you have come to know. Some of you know both Angie and I, and some of you only know one of us. For those of you who don't know this, Angie and I have been great friends for years, and our yoga paths have crissed and crossed many times over. And it just so happens that at this point in our life paths and yoga journey, the timing is right for both of us to make a trip to India and study with the Iyengars.

We are excited to be planning our India trip for October 2013 as a collaborative effort with each other. We are also thrilled to include our teachers, friends, and students in our planning and preparations. This is our opportunity to introduce ourselves to those of you who we don't know, and to more fully acquaint ourselves to those of you we already do know. This is our opportunity to share our origin stories with you!
