\nI discovered yoga through Kino\u2019s work at Miami Life Center. It\u2019s been an ever-evolving journey.<\/p>\n
\nI feel increasing peace, love, and joy.<\/p>\n
\nYoga is practicing the presence of God (peace, love, and happiness), which we are all infinitely and eternally one with.<\/p>\n
\nMy first class was a meditation class, and I feel completely overwhelmed with gratitude.<\/p>\n
\nI was a guy deeply dedicated to being happy, but still finding my way.<\/p>\n
\nAs a child and young adult, I was deeply depressed and suicidal. Through practice, I became a much more present person.<\/p>\n
\nMaking sense of all the seemingly different and disparate teachings.<\/p>\n
\nHaving a random stranger tell me he decided not to kill himself that day because he met me.<\/p>\n
\nThere\u2019s nothing else to do, literally.<\/p>\n
\nBecause I can\u2019t not teach.<\/p>\n
\nDivisiveness (illusory perceptions of separation).<\/p>\n
\nI love Ramana Maharshi\u2019s \u201cBe As You Are\u201d Osho\u2019s \u201cThe Path of Yoga\u201d and \u201cThe Alchemy of Yoga,\u201d and \u201cThe Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nPracticing the Presence.<\/p>\n
\n(1) Do it for the joy of it and (2) think of the world as your mat!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/omstars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/live-class-IG-feed-rob-mack2-300x300.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\n
\nTwo new books will be published this upcoming year (2021), \u201cLove from the Inside Out \u201c and \u201cSuccess from the Inside Out.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThat\u2019s like choosing my favorite organ! Ha! I love all books by Joel Goldsmith and Eckhart Tolle, \u201cBe as You Are\u201d by Ramana Maharshi, \u201cThe Cloud of Unknowing\u201d by Anonymous, \u201cPracticing the Presence\u201d by Brother Lawrence, \u201cWhite Fire\u201d by Mooji, \u201cA Return to Love\u201d by Marianne Williamson, \u201cAshes of Love\u201d by Rupert Spira, \u201cMediations\u201d by Marcus Aurelius, \u201cAt Your Command\u201d by Neville, \u201cTeachings of Sri Ramakrishna,\u201d \u201cAwareness\u201d by Anthony de Mello,<\/p>\n
\nA protein shake.<\/p>\n
\nEVERYTHING is yoga-related in my head! Ha! But I lift weights and read, too…<\/p>\n
\nMy mom and dad.<\/p>\n
\nWhichever one I\u2019m featured on that day. Truthfully, I\u2019m more of a reader or even audiobook fan, though.<\/p>\n
\n2 of my favorite books and a boat to drive home.<\/p>\n
\nA professional basketball player.<\/p>\n
\nThe Last Dance, Limitless, The Book of Eli, Horrible Bosses, and the Matrix (sorry – couldn\u2019t choose just one!)<\/p>\n
\nThe Blacklist, Billions, and Cover Affairs. Don\u2019t judge me.<\/p>\n
\nJay-Z, Drake, Michael Jackson, Norah Jones<\/p>\n
\n\u201cEmpire State of Mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cYou are what you seek, and you seek what you are… stop that!\u201d\u00a0 Also, \u201cBe still and know that I AM.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWhat\u2019s this all for?<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
