Turns out, you really are just your ego .... HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!

Though I'm not exactly sure what the exact origins of April's Fools Day are I am pretty sure that it has got to be one of the most light hearted holidays around. It's only 9:30 a.m. and I've already prank-ed my parents, my boyfriend, 3 other friends and my dog.

I think what I like so much about this holiday is that it gives us the opportunity to not take ourselves quite so seriously all the time.

Learning to laugh at ourselves rather then always beating ourselves up over our perceived "mistakes" (of which, of course there are none.) or failures is a powerful tool to help us cope with the challenges we all face and to gain a little bit of perspective as to what is truly important in life.

So get creative, nothing mean spirited or malicious, but share a laugh with someone laugh today!

p.s. a new podcast has been posted (seriously).

Sofi is an advanced certified Jivamukti Yoga Instructor who has been teaching Yoga since 1997. She was first certified by Alan Finger in the tradition of Ishta Yoga, and soon after found her foremost teachers David Life and Sharon Gannon, co- founders of Jivamukti Yoga. Along with David and Sharon, Sofi sites senior Jivmaukti instuctors Uma Nanda Saraswati and and Ruth Lauer-Manenti, Seane Corn, and Paul Grilley as her main influences. Sofi is also the founder and co-director of "I'll Yoga For You" - Yoga Vermont's community outreach program.

" The underlying theme in all my classes is devotion. I believe that the amount of happiness and freedom we experience in our lives is deeply linked to our ability to dedicate ourselves to something greater then our own personal gain. Through devotion we are able to reconnect with the Infinite wisdom that dwells within the heart of each one of us."

In her classes, workshops and retreats, Sofi combines a deep understanding of sacred Yoga texts with creative asana sequencing, chanting, music and meditation to provide students with an enriching and heart-opening experience. Her goal is to clearly communicate the traditional ancient teachings of Yoga in a way that will assist students to understand and reflect upon them so that they can be used to enrich their daily lives and lead them to their True Nature of Oneness.

Sofi and her family

Sofi lives in Burlington, Vermont with her daughter, Delia, and her poodle, Penny.

Sofi teaches both private and group classes. She also travels nationally and internationally on a regular basis to teach workshops.
