Happy Monday yogis, yoginis and friends!

Today's Inspiration: Staci, my powerlifting super hero. Her story embodies all that WILL Yoga is about - grabbing your life by the *cough - can't think of appropriate word to put here - cough* and making positive changes! Also, Staci's story has actually inspired me to start my own power lifting routine. Guess what?! It's only been about a month and it's already taken my yoga to all new levels. Give it a try, ladies (and gentlemen)!

Ladies, meet your new hero. Men, prepare to be humbled. My friend Staci, or Spezzy as she's known around the Nerd Fitness community, has one of the best

I'm talking about WILL tonight for the first time in front of a group full of complete strangers. Does anyone have a mantra for stage fright they would like to share? :)

So. It's been a few months since I made it out of law school alive. I've had time to get back into life and I'm remembering as well as learning how important good habits are. Whether it's law school, an abusive relationship, other life trauma or just a plain lack of motivation, life gives us all kinds of opportunities to slack off and not live to our full potential. I would like WILL Yoga to be about all types of good habits. As for the page, I would like to start posting things that may help inspire followers not just to do yoga or give me money, but improve their lives through better fitness, nutrition and habits. What better place to start than one of my favorite websites, zenhabits. There are tons of useful posts, but I'm linking you to their "get started" page to begin exploring. Enjoy!

While some of you have been following Zen Habits since its early days (beginning of 2007), many of you are fairly new readers.

Happy Monday everyone! This is a great post I wanted to share. Any post that contains the phrase "Then they responded with, 'She can,' 'She will,' and 'Kiss my ass'" is automatically going to be a favorite of mine, but it's honestly a great read. It will inspire whether you're considering running your first marathon, joining a gym, climbing your first mountain, or going to your first yoga class!

On refusing to settle and the incredible power of denial -- how denial can be a powerful weapon.

My abuser was a martial artist who thrived on domination and control. In the dojo, he taught me how to face an opponent. At home, he taught me what humiliation tasted like as he broke me down behind closed doors.

It's been awhile since I've posted anything, but I'm still doing this! Does anyone out there have a friend/family member/connection who could help me set up a blog/website type of thing and would be willing to get paid in good karma?

It's been a great week for WILL so this song may not seem appropriate, but it's awesome (and in the opinion of WILL's founder, Johnny Cash is always appropriate). So, enjoy.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have PROGRESS!! I worked out an agreement with a local yoga studio. I can use their space and resources. I am putting the tax emption stuff on the back burner for now. The important thing is we will be able to start holding classes very soon! Next step is reaching out to the contacts I've already made and start identifying participants. WILL is finally happening!

I just had an epiphany! I think there's a way to leap frog a lot of red tape, be able to legally accept tax deductible donations and get this bad boy rolling already without compromising any of my goals for the program. Stay tuned for updates!

A strong woman. Rest in peace, Etta James. I loved you.
