I've been attending and leading yoga retreats for many years.

In fact, it was from some of my world travel experiences that I made the decision to become a yoga teacher and lead these transformational retreats as a career.

I had experienced such a depth of understanding about myself, the cultures of this world and a deeper appreciation for the magical mystery of life during these travels, I knew I had to share this with others.

Thus, my company was created, back in 2004.

When I was a little girl, I used to dream of visiting castles and horse back riding through emerald green fields along cliff sides and through Sherwood forest type settings.

This was inspired by British grandparents (from London), my love of Robbin Hood as well as the book Scarlett (the sequel to Gone with the Wind).

Back in those days, they were merely fantasies I'd entertain in my mind and hardly had a thought these dreams could come true and one day I'd be here, living my dreams to the fullest.

As a child we had very little money, my parents built our home deep in the forest miles away from everyone, to be more connected with nature and possibly so we didn't have to interact with the hectic stresses like other people in society. We had a garden, a wood stove to cook and heat our home and my mother always made our clothing and all meals with her own hands. As result of this, I had found solace in practicing yoga, hiking, swimming in the rivers and reading adventure fantasy and mystery novels from a young age.

The power of the mind is what fascinates me deeply more then anything these days. As soon as we allow a single thought into our mind, we are already on our way to creating the material manifestation in our lives. Most people go around doing this unconsciously, therefore are creating a life by default and wondering why things are turning out this way.

August 26, 2011 Travel & Tourism news in Los Angeles,California, United States of America

Dashama will visit 12 countries teaching Pranashama Yoga workshops and retreats during the Global Book Tour for the expanded edition release of Journey to Joyful.

Dashama's Global Book Tour for Journey to Joyful Scheduled to Include 12 Countries in Partnership with Yoga Health Foundation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Los Angeles, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) August 26, 2011 --LOS ANGELES, August, 2011 -- Dashama's Global Book Tour, Journey to Joyful, kicks off this September in partnership with National Yoga Month and Yoga Health Foundation. Starting with a 5 day yoga and thai massage immersion in Mexico, she will jet over to Europe at the end of September visiting Finland, Vienna, Paris, Milan, Spain, Scotland, 3 cities in UK, Isle of Man and Ibiza. Her only full week retreat scheduled for this fall will take place in Ibiza, Europe's choice for vacationing in the Mediterranean. The Ibiza Retreat will take place October 8-14 and is accepting a limited number of participants at their private villa on the ocean. Catered by raw organic and vegan cuisine, there will also be seafood options and the group will follow a special diet to help participants detoxify and drop body fat. 3 Yoga Classes per day will be available with plenty of time to soak up the sunshine and jog along the cliffs over looking aqua blue ocean views. On October 21 & 21 Dashama and Dave Smyth will cut the ribbon for the first Pranashama Yoga Studio on the Isle of Man. Located between UK and Ireland in the Irish Sea, Isle of Man is a hide-away escape for Londoners who are known to commute to and from work by a short 40 minute flight to avoid hectic city traffic. The ribbon cutting and workshops sold out in less then 12 hours, but there will be video footage captured and viewable, as the entire tour is being broadcast via Youtube and Dashama's Online Journey to Joyful Reality TV Show .

Journey to Joyful is being called 'The New Yoga Bible" by her publishers at North Atlantic Books and has been praised by magazines and her peers as an important book to inspire readers to live a happy healthy life, despite life's challenges and especially in times of adversity. Jetting back to the USA, Dashama will fly directly into NYC October 24, to attend 'An Evening with Ralph Lauren Charity Event', hosted by RL and Oprah Winfrey. "In times of great economic, environmental and health related challenges, such as those we are facing right now, it is imperative that we have great leadership to help people see a light at the end of the tunnel. Better days are coming and the next golden age is closer then we think. Right now, people are discovering the true essence of happiness and being encouraged to look within themselves for courage, strength and to discover their unique purpose. The more people who are ignited with purpose for their life, the better this world can become. When we allow others time and space to shine, we collectively create a more beautiful world for us all to live in. It's a win-win for all."

Daily Meditation: Loving Kindness & Being with What Is.

"To solve the human equation, we need to add love, subtract hate, multiply good, and divide between truth and error."
-- Janet Coleman

Aloha My Love,

How are you?

Since I have been back from Bali,

I have been waking up at the sunrise and being still with the silence.

Allowing my mind to go in whichever direction it will,

and bringing it back to the center, back with my breath --gently.

I'm really working on being more gentle with myself.

And I would offer that we can all benefit from this practice.

Loving kindness with what is.

Whatever is occurring for you.

Whatever is arising in your life.

Surrender and stop for a moment.

See that it is all divine.

All that is happening --these forces are from a greater power at play.

Allow these subtle messages to be your guiding angels.

Listen deeply and sincerely and know that the

answers will all be revealed to you, in the stillness of the present

moment.

All we have to do is: ASK.

Ask for help, ask for what you need.

And expect that you will always be given exactly what you

need.

Not always what you WANT.. that is the hard part for most of us.

I ask and sometimes things show up so quickly I'm shocked!

And then sometimes I'm asking in 10 different ways and

the messages are not getting through, or so it appears!

So, then I am reminded:

All occurs in divine time.

Be patience and grace -- allow for the unfolding of

the beauty of the master plan of your life and

all your heart's desires will come to fruition.

The key is trust, clarity and emptiness.

We must empty our cup of expections and projection.

Release the traumas from the past and let go of our story.

Be open to receive and the blessing will surely come in

a more beautiful package then we could have ever envisioned!

Empty my cup and fill me with love.

Guide me with thy will and reveal to me where I am needing to grow.

Then offer me the options that I may take advantage

of the resources this abundant life has to offer.

What must I let go of to create space for the greater more

expanded version of who I am, who we are as a human family and as a

global community?

These have been my mantras, my meditations this week.

The answers that came to me:

One thing that has come to me is that many people ask if they can get the

30DYC home study course for the discount price, even after the sale has ended.

This has urged me to create a new option, which lowers the price and

gives you a 2 payment option, so you can access this transformational

home study course without money being an issue.

You can see the new price is lower and you can pay in 2 installments,

for even greater accessibility: http://www.30dyc.com

Another thing I have created, in response to the inquiries about Europe

and Mexico training options are 2 week long Pranashama Yoga

Training Retreats, you can see the details and register here:

http://www.pranashama.org (check the calendar for Mexico Training)

and click the link to see info, pics and to register for the Ibiza Training Retreat.

These will both give you 50 hours toward your Pranashama Yoga

Teacher Certification and also can act as a catalyst to help you

create what your heart is desiring right now.

Even if that is just some peace and yoga in paradise :)

Last year we really had an amazing time in Ibiza.

One of the hugest breakthroughs I had in Ibiza was in relation to

abundance. I even wrote an amazing article about it, called

"A Beggar in the Kingdom" which I will release to you one day...

or perhaps it will be a chapter in my next book :)

If you didn't know already about my story, I actually grew up very poor.

We bought our food with foodstamps and received the government WIC free

cheese and milk as well. Since we didn't have funds for new shoes, we always

wore hand me downs. My shoes were so tight growing up, some of my toes

got cramped and it took me years to uncramp them through some yoga foot

exercises. That's why I laugh sometimes when the foot fetish viewers

comment about how cute my feet are on youtube!! :) hehe

My mother received an SSI check due to her clinically diagnosed schizophrenic mental

disorder, and that was how we got by. I can remember walking 2 miles

to the local mini part, Mr. Pope's to buy an orange orange sherbert push pop for 1

food stamp dollar. Mr. Pope didn't typically take food stamps, since his shop was a

gas station, but he made the exception for us. My sisters and I were a sight to see!

4 tiny little girls walking 2 miles in the summer to buy an ice cream cone with a food stamp!

I'll tell you one thing:

I enjoyed and appreciated every single last lick of that push pop,

EVERY SINGLE TIME.

It made me a more grateful human being to grow up with nothing.

I wouldn't change the past for anything in the world.

So, for me, the process of allowing abundance into my life has not been easy.

For years, I wanted to give everything away all the time and had a terrible time

charging a price for anything I did. As a result of that, for many years I was broke

and struggling and in debt.

Another thing that has taken me my entire life so far to do is to

ask for help.

Growing up in foster homes, I didn't know who I could

trust for help or support. So, I learned very early to do everything for

myself. That was a good thing to a certain extent, as it made me very self

sufficient. Most people can see how much I can create on my own.

But now I am being called to co-create and collaborate.

I want to work with many others and am breaking through my

trust barriers all the time. I am excited about the upcoming Journey to Joyful

book tour, since I know this is the first big step in the direction toward

the vision of global unity that I have been holding so closely in my heart

all of these years. I made this video a few years ago, if you didn't see it

check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9VPm5eMVAw

I know it begins with me, it begins with YOU and together we

can make it a reality.

Over the years, I have been blessed with the courage to seek guidance

and find mentors who would help me along the way.

Although when I did have the money, I have always preferred to go to live

trainings with my teachers, as these catalyze the greatest shift for me...

Many times, these mentors have taught me through online courses,

which were the only things I could afford.

I got scammed online a few times, at the age 18 I paid over

$4,000 for a program I didn't have the money for,

and later realized it wasn't even something I really cared at all about.

So, I have learned through the school of hard knocks and I know what it is

like to be on both sides of the stick.

Being broke sucks.

And to have abundance is great, but it can make people

act differently toward you as well.

So, there is a careful balance we all must find in life.

This balance must take place in the mind first.

We see ourselves in one way--

and we hopefully behave in alignment with that vision.

This is true balance.

Mind, body, heart and soul in alignment.

One common vision bridging them all together.

This is a strong force and nothing on earth can ever

stop such a force from reaching the brightness of the sunshine

or the radiance of the star-shine, here on earth.

You are a star.

You are meant to shine.

So, shine on you crazy diamond!

I hope to meet you sometime soon.

Blessings and Love all ways,

Namaste,

Dashama

***PS. The affiliate program is a winning idea so far! My long time friend and co-creator Ryan, who also joined us in Bali to share some of his brilliant internet marketing strategies with the new Pranashama Yoga Teachers, is also the master mind behind the Affiliate program.

If you learn the system (and it is super easy btw) you can make BIG extra income. Dave Smyth earned $900 his first week in the program by referring 2 students to the Bali Yoga Training retreat next summer. And you can do this too. Here is the link to register:

http://www.dashama.net

Contact me or Ryangunness@gmail.com if you have any questions. He's going to be providing support in this arena, and we'll give more info later.

PPS. We are looking for few new blog contributors for both perfect10lifestyle.com and 30dayyogachallenge.com. Both of these get thousands of visitors each month and

I don't always have time to post new blogs each week.. although I try, there is only so much time in the day.

So, if you are a great writer, passionate about what you do and

can write about topics like yoga, health, fitness, mind, body, spiritual or even eco fashion and nutrition, I would love to connect with you to see if your blogs would be a great fit for the community.

One of my new Prana Shaman, Dave Smyth from Isle of Mann will begin blogging for us soon, so that is very exciting! He is not a 500 hour registered yoga teacher as well as a very accomplished musician! His CD album is at #3 in Europe for Classic Rock right now! Go Dave!! You are so awesome :)

We can all share and in that sharing, there is tremendous growth.

You can gain exposure to a wider audience and we all benefit from your brilliance.

Email me or lacey@30dayyogachallenge.com if you want to know more.

Be sure to join us on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube where I post all the new pics, videos and info.

Blessings and Love xoxo
