To awaken the Bodhisattva within.

The Essence of the ten transformative practices.

Generosity  arises from the unselfishness and nonattachment.
Ethics  involves virtue, integrity, and self discipline.
Patience  requires resilience, acceptance, and fortitude.
Effort  means courage in joyous perseverance.
Meditation  implies mindfulness, concentration, reflection, and introspection.
Transcedental  wisdom inclues discernment and self knowledge.
Skillful  means arise from the resourcesfulness and imagination.
Spiritual  aspirations include noble intenions and resolve.
Higher accomplishments  require leadership, powers and positive influence.

Vani in Sanskrit is the goddess of speech. 

Vani is a vehical sent down from the spirit world as a messager of good will.  Vani's uses the voice for enlightment and transformantion. Vani is humble, loyal, sincere and grateful.

I am not full of ego or pride, I am not complex or complicated.   

I feel, I breathe, I live and I love. 

Making a difference in the lives of others makes for a happy Vani. This translates into making the world a better place.  My students are hungry for transformation and I gladly feed them daily.   

I am a yoga instructor, and live for my practice and teaching. But my other love is dancing.  I started ballet class again. And for those who know me well, know that I can dance till dawn. Black Rock City style funked out in fur, glitter and platform boots.  Dancing in the dust as waves of energy pull me deeper into the core of music.  I move, I feel, I vibe.

I guess you can call me an old raver.

World travel is very important to me. I have traveled far and wide, but still do not consider myself a world traveler. I need just two continents ( South America and Australia) before I can say I've traveled the world. But I've been to some far out places, and have seen some far out things.

I like to day dream most of the time and hide away from the world.  My favorite pass time, lying in bed with the warm afternoon sun on my body. I am a pleasure seeker, but a sensible hendonist.

I love being a woman and I'm comfortable in my skin. I  long for the human touch which is sensual and healing.

I see beauty in everything around me and find laughter to be good medicine.  I gravitate towards the light and follow the sun.   

I am so grateful for everything, but I am most grateful for each breathe that enters my body.

” Jai Guru Deva Om “.

May we find peace,
may we find blance,
may we find light.

But most importantly,
may the heart know love.
