Yesterday i planned on hiking to the summit of mount jumbo. Did not make it. Hardest climb I’ve ever tried. Maybe by my birthday ill be able to make it. Plus my Odie dog still recovering from knee surgery didn’t want to push him but he trudged up the hill with me. No switchbacks just up. The view and wild flowers were amazing. I did make it past lake Missoula high water mark of 4200 feet.

My sweet Odie had to get knee surgery Wednesday. They thought it was a torn acl. Turned out to be his knee cap. So collar for two weeks. No running or jumping 6-8 weeks. Turned my house into a doggie safe zone. My Mattress on the floor, blocking off the couch, rugs everywhere and a sad homemade doggie ramp.

Took a break from Blue Mountain today and went up the south hills trail system. First time up there it was nice but i took a wrong turn and followed Hillview to the end.

Three months into a life changer i have started walking for a healthy change. My goal is to increase steps each month. So far so good. Three months consistent behavior 3 times now to walk to PetSmart to getthe dogs toenails clipped. But because we do so much pavement walking no longer do i need to take them in monthly. Change in a healthy way, continue to evolve. down 25 pounds. My dogs are happy, my brain seems to be working better and gaining focus and energy. My clothes fit better, my belt is at a new hole

Went for a late hike up blue mountain. It was awesome until I took a wrong turn. Popped out by the frisbee golf course which is about a mile from the trail head. Had to walk through the forest in the dark and no trail. Heard owls and coyotes and screeching. Kinda like they were ushering us out of the woods. Creepy but exhilarating

Greetings long time since I posted. There has been a lot of changes and I never knew where to start.
I changed from manipura yoga studio to yoga movement Missoula. I will soon be a non profit. There will be a webpage and a store selling hand made yoga crafts to help fund getting yoga out into the public. As a yogi I look to take the practice to who ever wants or need so if you know a deserving organization let me know.
Quick bit about me. I've been teaching for 11 year, more than 10,000 hours taught. 500 hr training completed from kripalu health and wellness in western Massachusetts. I teach studio classes at the university of Montana rec center, Missoula martial arts academy and Ridge Fitness.
I "inked" a deal with ridge fitness to teach private classes as well as my studio classes. They are giving me my own private room. This is a fantastic opportunity for all of us. Yoga is not normally billable to insurance but gym opportunities are which is a great loop hole to have.
I teach a feel good style of yoga, kripalu style. Its about what the posture is doing for you not what it's supposed to look like. Yoga is for everyone. One of my specialties is chair yoga, if you sit in a chair you can do yoga.
I also teach breathing, meditation and stress relief. When life gets crazy I will give you the skills to relax unwind and enjoy. Please get in touch with me about anything and everything yoga. Jai Bhagwan-victory to your light

Warm weather is here, the flowers are blooming and its always time to think about your yoga practice. I am thinking about offering morning yoga to anyone who wants to show up. Also maybe some yoga in the yard a few afternoons a week too. Depends on interest and commitment. let me know
