A Complaint Free World

Amanda / Reflections, Thoughts, Writers / , / 0 Comment

The book, A Complaint Free World by Will Bowen recently came across my radar.  The title really intrigued me, so I decided to ingestigate further.  Basically, one undergoes the challenge to not complain for 21 consecutive days.

A few months ago a good friend of mine gave me a Louise Hay cd on how to use daily positive affirmations.  Shortly after beginning the practice of using  my affirmations, I became very angry at myself for  just how negative most of my thinking actually was.  Here I thought I was a positive, glass half full kind of person?  However, this was a catalyst for me to begin to change my thinking.  I am a true believer that what we think about manifests into our lives, whether they be good or bad.  I believe this is why the book came to me at this time.

“Complaining is thinking about things you do not want rather than what you do want.  When we complain we are using our words to focus on things that are not as we would like.  Our thoughts create our lives and our words indicate what we are thinking.”  Bowen, Will.  (2007) A Complaint Free World (Kindle).  Retrieved from http://www.amazon.ca.

I have decided to embark on my own complaint free challenge.  I will blog about my adventures at http://www.westofyoga.wordpress.com.  Please join me in the challenge.  Maybe we can start a complaint free movement here in Vancouver?

a confession.

katiedouglas / Writers / / 3 Comments

my name is katie and i am by no means an ‘enlightened’ yogi.

i am exactly what your yoga teacher tells you not to be:  a type-A, power-vinyasa-flow-loving, cursing-because-i-can’t-kick-up-into-handstand, multi-tasking, most-people-annoy-me-because-i’m-grumpy-if-i-don’t-get-to-practice, yogi.

case in point:  i’m typing this at the airport while waiting for my flight, eating breakfast, texting my brother, and struggling to not get annoyed at the 12 year old across from me popping his gum.

live in the moment?  i live in about 15.

by day, i’m a hard working, 20-something (i have two more years to get that in there) female struggling to find balance between the fast-paced industry i love, and the practice that has proved so beneficial to me in my life.  by night, i get the chance to be the side-crow rocking, vinyasa-killing rockstar yogi of my dreams.

(that last part might be a bit exaggerated, but this is my mental fantasy, so we’re just going to go with it.  this yogi-super hero image i have in my head also has the stellar rockstar yogi body of sadie nardini, but again, let’s just go with it.)

i’m excited to have this opportunity to join one of the several other newest bloggers on the vancouver yoga review as their saturday sweet-spot.  i can’t promise words of infinite wisdom (i can actually guarantee there will be few), tips on meditation (at which i’ve failed at, successfully), or new recipes for vegan cupcakes (i like meat, although i am intolerant of wheat…but perhaps i could give you a take on some wheat free cake after i learn to bake?) but i can promise some laughs (hopefully) and an honest take through my yogic journey.

Meet a Blogger!

Alison Boons / Writers / / 1 Comment

I am elated to join the Vancouver Yoga Review team, and am excited to share my experiences, thoughts and insights into the world of yoga with you!

My name is Alison Boons, and I have had a personal yoga practice for almost 8 years, and have completed my 200 hr Teacher Training (Semperviva) as well as an additional 35 hr of Kundalini Teacher Training (Semperviva). I teach at a small studio in Coquitlam (www.therecroomyoga.com) and am the Teacher Registry Coordinator for Yoga BC.

As we all know, Vancouver has a thriving yoga community with many different styles, flavours and personalities to make it ever the more interesting. With events from workshops, to the yoga conference, to yogathons as well as many different styles of classes to try & explore, I look forward to sharing some of these experiences with you.

I have a strong passion for the philosophical and history of yoga and the exploration of the many different forms and styles, to the power of meditation. Look forward to a wide variety of topics and feedback on Vancouver’s beautiful yoga community.

So, stay tuned! More to come from me every Monday, or to read more about me, check out my website at www.sundarayoga.ca.

Namaste & Sat Nam!
