The Noodle
The reason this blog is called, JL's Yoga World... and Beyond! - is because I wanted to be able to write about things in my life - not directly connected to yoga. Though my whole life is yoga right?
My sweet son, Ben, will turn 8 years old on Wednesday. He was sent to me from God, from the Universe. I have no doubt. This child helps me grow everyday - as a mom, a yoga teacher, a friend and as a person. Every day - he amazes me. Every day - I am grateful he is in my life.
Many of you know his birth story because it is so much a part of my yoga story. But just in case you don't - here goes:
Back in 2001 - right after 9/11, Greg and I were, like many people, reassessing our lives. We were living the 'High Life' in San Francisco. Making loads of money - spending WAY more than we had... just living for us. But we were incomplete. We wanted more. We had already been trying to have a baby for two years - since our wedding on 10/9/99. It just wasn't happening. Greg was laid off on 9/12 and we were struggling. I felt like I was losing my 'soul' in TV News. I was becoming someone I did not recognize. I told Greg I wanted to change. I wanted to be a mom and a yoga teacher. Together we planned our future.
But it took a few months - until March of that year - when Greg was offered a job here in Seattle. This was our chance. I quit my job and applied to Yoga Teacher Training. From March to June we lived apart as I closed up one life to begin anew in Seattle. On a weekend in May, Greg flew back to SF to help me sell our stuff in a yard sale - Clean slate, ya know. A couple came asking for baby things in the yard sale. We said we had none - that we 'had not been blessed yet.' They asked us if they could hug us and pray for us. Look, Greg and I are not religous people - but we agreed.
Three weeks later, I found out I was pregnant.
Ben is an old-soul in many ways. He asks questions about God, about reincarnation, and about being a baby and how he 'chose' us as parents. I really believe he did. I often will share little 'Ben-isms' in Yoga class... he is brilliant in many ways. But yet - still a little kid. He is complicated and loving. He is funny and cozy. He has even invented a few yoga poses that I use in class.
This week - I honor my wonderful, loving son - Ben. He is the light of my life. Oh yeah, and I call him 'noodle.' :)

New Year, New Horizons
It's been far too long since I 'checked in' with you all. It was a hectic holiday season. I worked nonstop - and it was awesome! Thanks to you all who made it in to see me and for making yourself a priority at this time :)
So much is happening....
Today hauteyoga QA revealed details of a teacher training program that will begin in March. Silvia Mordini and I will co-host, co teach, the four month program. Details will be here by days end:
http://www.hauteyogaqueenanne.com/
I am deeply honored and excited to embark on this new journey. I hope (and know) we will have an amazing group of trainees to join me on this trip :)
In just over two weeks... I will lead retreat in Sayulita, Mexico. Leah and I have an exciting plan this year for those joining us - Extra treats like a 'Body Prayer' workshop, an opening Cocktail party and much more!! I cannot wait!
Finally, I always look at Yelp and other feedback type sites to see what people are saying about me and hauteyoga. I try to be on top of it The sensitive side of me gets a bit wounded, but I try to open up and hear what each person is saying and do my best to continually improve. As my students are truly so so important to me. I am here each day on the mat to guide them (you) and bring joy and happiness into their (your) life. I will strive to be better each day. I hope you will continue to be open to me and my teaching... because I love seeing you all.
Hugs - love and Light -
