One of the Buddha’s well-known quotes is “nothing is permanent“. It’s true, with time everything eventually changes. As humans, we are constantly evolving. Our physical bodies change over the years. Our life experiences change how we perceive the world and our everyday relationships. We have career changes. Our beloved bank merges with another bank and now there’s a new debit card and website. Or the best yoga teacher you’ve ever had decides to move to another country. On top of all this, technology is constantly driving changes in how we shop, communicate and simply live life.
So here’s where my new changes come into play…Almost 7 years now, my easy to set up “yoga blog by abellaYoga” allowed me the freedom to start blogging about anything and everything related to yoga – teaching yoga, questions from students I received, the business of yoga, yoga philosophy, meditation, etc. Fortunately too, my simple abellaYoga.com website also worked for what I needed during these last several years. And as much as I held on (with a tight grip!) to keep my simple website and blog running “as is”, it became clear over the last couple years that big changes in how I presented abellaYoga were looming. My template-driven website no longer fully represented the professionalism of my mobile yoga service – nor did it express the extent I have grown as a yoga teacher and student in my yoga journey thus far.
So here I am unveiling a new look to abellaYoga.com which includes the abellaYoga blog as being fully integrated into the new web site. Bad news is if you’ve been subscribing to abellaYoga.wordpress.com, you’ll experience some changes. For instance, those simple emails you use to receive with my latest blog posts are fading away until I figure out how to set up a new email subscription plug-in/widget/whatever into the abellaYoga.com/blog Oh yeah, and there’s a new blog address: abellaYoga.com/blog
Change is great but it often requires patience, particularly on my part as I attempt to live right now in a tech hat instead of on a yoga mat. So as I navigate through these tech changes over the next few weeks, please be patient. Check back frequently. The old blog address will automatically be redirected to the new abellaYoga.com/blog in the next day or so. I have at least figured that out!
Change can be scary but it’s often exactly what we need to take us to the next stage of health and happiness in all arenas of our lives -personal, professional and spiritual. Change is inevitable and we’re all going through it more often than not. It’s best to stay positive, remember you’re not alone and keep in mind nothing last forever.
