Welcome to our community blog!

Hello everyone,
I'm so excited to put together our community blog. I hope this can be a forum for us to stay in touch. This is where we can inform each other of workshops, studio news, etc. As we get certified, let me know and we can add a new topic called "Certified Teachers". I started a Book list section with the first book being 'Radical Forgiveness' which Ted recommended. If you have books you'd like to list or ideas for other topics, let me know and I'll add it.

If you have photos, please email me a .zip file with your digital files. If it's easier for you to put it on a CD and mail to me, that'll work too! I'll get it formatted and add it under  "Photos from Montana". Darren has already mailed me his CD, so all of our photos are here for you to look at.

To add a comment to a topic, click on the 'comment' link (below) underneath the topic. It'll take you to another page where you can fill in your name, email address and  comments.  Please let me know if you have ANY questions at all and I'll try to help. This application is pretty new to me as well so I'm trying to learn as I go.

It was fun loading my photos on the site to share with you all. I loved reminiscing on what an amazing week it was. I loved meeting all of you. A lasting impression on me was one of our last exercises about "Being Seen", I have an imprint in my mind of each and every one of you ...and your eyes…how each of you looked into my eyes. I was and am still deeply touched by that experience.  I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of this community. Thank you for 'seeing me.' 

I miss you ALL and can't wait to see you again.
With Love,
Anna C.

Namaste,

what do you guys think about having a few more sections. Here are two that I thought woudl be great. Certification Process (a forum to discuss questions/concerns/progress on all cert requirements) and Sutra/Gita Discussion group (a place where we could discuss and analyze the works)
Just a few ideas that are more targeted to specific topics. What do you think?

[Greg Burkett]

This is great. The more evidence that that week really happened the better. This is really special Anna. I miss you all, Greg

Hello everyone, and thank-you Anna for creating this great site. It is very nice to see everyones pictures, it helps me anchor in the memories. I feel truly blessed to know each of you and look forward to meeting again. I purchased the book, "Iron John," that was recommended and now I am working out my ideas for the "Wild Hairy Man" clothing line and accesories. I will keep you posted! Greetings and best wishes to you all.

Anna, thank you for creating this way for all of us to retain the magic of our time together in Montana. I think most of you will agree that together we created a magical, safe, wonderful, perfect little world. I miss it very much but am also glad to be finding a way to fit back into the real world. That week is a special time that I will always be willing to re-live... thank you all for being a part of it! I MISS YOU!!! The photos have made my day.

I am volunteering again at the Omega conference in Miami in november. I hope to see some of you there.

Part of my ggrowing up since returning home is to redefine my studio from the identity of being a Bikram studio for the past 3 1/2 yrs to something new. Thank you Kat for helping with name suggestions. I have chosen to be called Evolution Power Yoga because it so fits my evolution both personally and within the world of yoga. It is funny, after I chose that name two different students commented to one of my teachers that they have enjoyed being part of our evolution.

I have been working very diligently on my certification. It is a lot of work but seems to be helpful in continuing the process of Montana. I have already taped my class twice but had a few technical difficulties... trying again tomorrow morning! Wish me luck!!!

Love You All,
Lisa T

Anna,
You are AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for all you have done in putting this together. The pictures really capture so much of our experience, as well as the beauty and mystery of the Feathered Pipe Ranch.
To my local fellow teachers-Dave& Anne,Let's get together sometime. I'll come to Denver and we'll check out dave's new studio!!
Keep in touch all of you.Thanks for sharing your love and light.
Smiles,
Glo Jones

Hi Everyone, It is great to hear from you all and see your pictures. I will attempt to send some pictures soon, I'm not sure I know how to zip, but I will give it a go. If not, a CD will be in the mail to you soon Anna. I miss you all and feel blessed to have this website to stay in contact. I came home from level 2 feeling very open and raw. I am recovering and making changes in my life as a result - all very positive. Plus, I spent five days in Las Vegas last week and it was just what the doctor ordered! My husband and I brought the kids and went for a friend's wedding, so obviously didn't behave too badly. I was grateful to get your email the other day Ted. I would love to hear from any of you, any time. I will be on this website often! If any of you are ever in the Boston or Cambridge area to visit the studios, let me know,I would love to get together. I believe there will be a yoga journal conference in Boston in the spring - I will definitely be there. Well, I am off to pick up a copy of the Gita and the Sutras, as well as Radical Forgiveness. Mark White -your website is georgeous! You look hot in those photos!! Blessings to you all! Love, Jen

Unbelievable!! Anna--this is so terrific...thanks for being the glue to keep us together. Ted- you are sooo organized... ugghh..well..it sure gave me some inspiration to get moving!! Miss all of you!! Looking at the pix, reminded me soo much of, well, everything......what would we be doing at 10pm on a Wednesday night!! hehe...Hugs!Trish

Thanks Anna for doing this for us, it's just great. Hello everyone. The best part about level 2 for me was all of you. What awesome people you all are.
On this very day, I sent in all of my materials for certification.
I know, it's sick, but I started back in May. I taped my class last Friday night, watched it last night, wrote my critique this morning and sent it off this afternoon. I share this with you only to offer any of you who wish, help. Reading the Sutras and the Gita took time, so start early. Writing the paper isn't that bad once you've read the books. Also, I see Anna recognized my book recomendation. This book was like a lightning bolt that changed the hell I was in two years ago. Not even the whole book,just the very first chapter.
It's almost identical to what happened in my life. We all know things can go really bad as quick as a phone call. Well, they can also turn around for the good that quick too. If you think I can help you in any way, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks to all of you for such a great week. I learned so much from each and every one of you. Ted
p.s. I need to build a web site for my studio. I would be grateful for any help in pointing me in the right directtion.

[Dave Farmar]

I too am too tech-challenged to figure out how to post a top-line item, but I'll follow Angela's lead by posting a comment . . .

Yes Anna, you definitely do rock, this is a great site!

[Angela Barrese]

hmm i tried to post once so I Hope this doesn't repeat. Anyway, thank you so much Anna, YOU ROCK for doing this. I have really been missing everyone lately and this came at a perfect time. I hope everyone participates and we can keep our community alive!! Anna, I am emailing you a zip of my photos right now. Love you all-Angela
