I had a wonderful time in Mexico City; as of now there are very few pictures, but we’ll have more soon. I got to teach with David Light and Sharon Gannon, which was a wonderfully magical and inspirational experience. I ate lots of good Mexican food and spent a lot of time speaking Spanish, which was very good for me. I loved the adidas team there!

Jade and I shot “Good Day Colorado,” which should be on air on Christmas morning. YAY! If you live in Colorado, look out for it on FOX 31. I spent Thanksgiving with the family in Vail, where I also spent a lot of time sleeping in bed. I also got to meet Rocky Mountain Sports and teach yoga to ten editors at Natural Solutions, which was fantastic. It was the first time I’ve ever seen a whole magazine team so truly into the practice.
On Sunday, October 19th, 2008 I attended the Santa Monica 5000. Although it was an early rise, it felt good to be a part of a drive for St. John’s Hospital, a place that I myself have been grateful for after a late-night fall or a mishap with a splinter. It felt great to be amongst such great athletes and to support great causes – St.John’s, Santa Monica, and a healthy community.
On November 18th we attended a party for Apl de.apl of the Black Eyed Peas-it was his birthday party and the launch of his Apl Foundation (committed to giving back to communities in the Philippines and throughout Asia). Wearing my new favorite shoes, I grooved all night long to performances by Apl, Taboo, Mosaic, and Carmit of the Pussycat Dolls. It’s a wonderful cause and was a wonderful night!
The whirlwind of the last month since Korea has been an incredible experience. I am glad to finally have this moment to catch up on my blog.
Upon returning to America after Korea we went to the evolutionary Raw Spirit Fest in Sedona. The full moon over the vortex of red rocks was enchanting and inspiring! The food was delicious and the people were bright wondrous lights of health and beauty.
It was an honor to be a MC (master of ceremonies) and to personally introduce some of my very favorite artists, such as Shimshai, Donna Delory, Singing Bear and the Jah Levi.
My daughter was swept up in the arms of a very safe fire dancer (of course we were nearby, all watching mesmerized), while my mother taught and rawked her message to the people.
I taught an hour-long meditation in a geometric dome and yoga classes on the green lawn. It was literally raw, grass roots and fun.
I teamed up and joined in on a play for the Sunfood Warrior Protein powder company and got to read about superheroes on the main stage along with a mini yoga demonstration.
There was also some time that had to be filed between acts, so we found ourselves rapping, chanting and singing on stage, which was a ton of fun for me to be living out of my own box. Alex sang the chorus to the song I wrote and I rapped it out.:) The song is called, Freedom song.
This was the third time I have made it to what is a groundbreaking series of films and filmmakers making movies to “ELEVATE”. Everyone participated, from Shiva Rea, to Michael Beckwith and Apple from the black Eyed peas.
We were moved to tears by the heart-warming films that people wrote from the depths of their souls. One man named Chris, began a long walk to the country of Brazil. By going beyond his beliefs and limitations, he is hoping to inspire the same in anyone who tunes in to his trek.
Elevate – Keep them coming and I hope to always be a part of what you are doing.
