Introducing Vincent Henry Cariati

Born July 17, 2011

After the most transformational three months of my life I am now emerging from my cosmic cave and ready to share again with you beloved yogis. I will be starting back with a lighter class schedule while the PURE Yoga Teacher Training I am co-teaching with Claudia Fucigna is in session.

A wise woman once told me that when you give birth you are able to re-birth yourself, well, I sure feel like I am certainly discovering a whole new aspect of myself and new depths to loving.

Looking for a warm and tropical getaway this winter? Celebrate and nurture your beautiful lives with us on retreat in Central America!

2010 - A TIME OF TRANSFORMATION

2010-01-08T16:11:00.000-08:00

"You must be the change you would like to see in the world" -Gandhi

Changes are occurring all around us at a an alarming rate. We must be prepared to consciously evolve as well, in accordance with the world around us, to achieve harmony and health. We know that change starts from within but we cannot forget the power of community and the degree to which we are all interconnected. In order to be the pillar of strength and support we'd like to be we must work on ourselves, on a deeply internal level.
I took a very inspiring class at Golden Bridge with Tej this morning about building our own self confidence and lifting the curses that keep us from being as powerful as we really are.
"Om Gum Ganapatayei Namah"- The mantra for clearing away obstacles, keeping in mind that our biggest obstacle might be ourselves, a-hem, our egos!
