Ona je obraz Pangea Organics; vodi priljubljen newyorški joga studio; je avtor , filmski producent in življenjski trener; Nacionalno kdo je seznanjen z zdravjem in kondicijskim vplivom; In morda je le najbolj kul oseba, ki jo boste kdaj srečali. Elena Brower: Superwoman? Ne, samo jogini, ki služi kot sijoč primer, da če imate jasno vizijo, kaj želite, je mogoče ustvariti življenje velikega obilja in izpolnitve.
Z Browerjem smo se ujeli ravno zanjo SV v živo! Newyorška delavnica Če želite izvedeti, kako ta zasedena mama, učiteljica in podjetnik vse to naredi - in ohranja takšno milost v tem procesu.
Stylesway VIP: Kdaj ste vedeli, da želite biti učitelj joge?
Elena Brower: Sometime within the first 5 minutes of my first class. It was at the first Yoga Zone on 56th Street in New York City with a teacher named Michelle. I saw my own capacity for elegance, and it gave me that feeling of all-is-possible that I hadn’t felt in that way prior. I knew I wanted to be able to give that to others.
SV: Kaj najprej naredite, ko se zjutraj zbudite?
EB: Prilepite s sinom (Jonah). Nato meditiram 20 minut.
SV: Kako žonglirate s starševstvom z vsem drugim, kar počnete?
EB: Potujem samo enkrat na mesec, tako da sva z Jonah skupaj preživela super čas. Jonah je zdaj star sedem let, njegov oče in jaz pa sta draga prijatelja. Trdo smo se trudili, da bi svoje življenje postale zelo ljubeče in hvaležne, in to lahkoto lahko občutimo-večina časa!-Jona je vedenje in razumevanje sveta.
SV: Ste velik zagovornik meditacije. Kakšna je vaša meditacijska praksa?
EB: Vadim vedsko meditacijo od Thom Knolesa, mojstrskega učitelja, ki me je naučil, kako uporabiti mantro, da se presežem tam, kjer sem, ko so stvari težke in vadbe brez napora. Thom uči tudi nevroznanost, ki mi je pomagala razumeti prakso s fiziološke perspektive in mi je omogočil lažji dostop do tega temeljnega, temeljnega stanja zadovoljstva, razkritega z meditacijo.
SV: Ste tudi življenjski trener. Nam lahko poveste, kako se v vašem življenju sekata življenje in joga?
EB: Life coaching is what helped me close the gap between who I could be as a teacher and who I was being at home. The two personas were not woven together and it was creating a real divide and conflict at home. Coaching has taught me how to have a vision for everything from my behavior to my relationship to time, from my relationship with my family to my relationship to money, and this has yielded a real comfort and ease within myself. Which has made me a better mama, a better daughter, and a better teacher.
SV: Kaj je vaša skrivnost, da ste tako produktivni?
EB: I love my work! My dream, or my vision, for my career is something I take very seriously. We all need to learn to dream up our highest possibilities. The first part of my mission is this: I am inspiring millions of people to be remarkable in their families, to tell the truth, to have the hardest conversations, by gathering people to practice, meditate, and be together, both virtually and in person.
SV: Pred kratkim se je pojavila novica, da se bo Virayoga, studio, ki ste jo ustanovili v New Yorku, zaprla. Zakaj ste se odločili, da ga zaprete po več kot 12 letih? Kaj je naslednje?
EB: The rent was going up. My business partner, Lynn Hazan, and I had the same thought at the same time: To celebrate for the entire spring, and then let go of the studio at the end of June. We’re open to whatever is coming next, but there are no plans to open another space anytime soon. It’s bittersweet, but I’m already seeing the potential of other ways to work and play in the city. Starting in the fall, I plan to teach a class at Katonah Yoga, where I have dear teachers who have strongly inspired my practice.
SV: Kateri je vaš najljubši način, da preživite svoj čas, ko niste na preprogi ali poučevali?
EB: Rada berem, študiram in beležim zapiske; Takšen sem trpki glede svojega dela in preživim veliko časa za česanje knjig in iskanje navdiha. Rada potujem, še posebej s sinom. Rada preživljam leno popoldne v hiši mojih staršev. V trenutkih po prihodu sem ponavadi globoko zaspal. Rada preživljam čas s svojimi puncami - to so moje srce.
