I begin the new year working on my sankalpa. While I haven’t quite formulated it yet, I have made a good start at evaluating my dharma. For several years, I have been working on ahimsa, the yogic philosophy of non-harming. It is the first of the yamas and a very tall order. One year of work just doesn’t do it justice! But I have slowly incorporated this principal into my daily life (no, I’m not a vegetarian, yet) and use ashimsa to guide me. I think my sankalpa will be much the same in that it won’t be accomplished (! how un-yogic!) in a year.
2011 also heralds in another year of Monday Nite yoga at the UU Church of Fresno. This week will be a yin class to start off the new year! Please join us from 6:30-8pm in the sanctuary.

I am not totally sure what you are talking about (shoes on the other foot now eh?), but it sounds pretty cool! I didn’t know you were thinking about going veggie but I suppose that makes sense. Good luck with your studies – you seem to be devouring it ^_^

Yeah, your mommy is obtuse! Not really thinking about going veggie…couldn’t get RIck to do that. Just cutting way down on meat….except of course the wild pigs!
