COURTNEY ROHAN YOGA

"Ya Devi Sarva Bhuteshu Matru Rupen Sanstitah... Namastasai Namastasyei Namastasei namo namaha."        ( I bow to the divine feminine conscious that is within us all, over and over again. ) I have always been nervous about chanting. I am not anymore. I know that we are always saying things over and over again in our heads with intention, and that is chanting. And some of the things we are constantly chanting are unfortunately not that nice. On the other hand, when is there a time that you deliberately entice the divinity within yourself and others? When do you take the time to acknowledge that the love within you is also the love within others? Or that the God that rocks out for you, rocks for both of us in equal strength and power? Do you take time to say things like these, over and over again? I used to be scared of the idea of chanting because growing up in a Christian household, I thought that this was idol worship. I thought that this meant I was not worshipping

Trust Yourself!! Answer the following questions orally as quickly as you can. Don’t get stuck on any one question.  Just answer each one and then move on to the next. Don’t scrutinize your answer or think about what someone else would say or do. If you feel like you can’t find an answer, say anything (even “blah, blah”) and then move on. What does loving yourself today look like?  Do you want to change anything about yourself? If so, what? Would you say that means you don’t love yourself? Do you find that you spend most of your time competing with others? About what? Do you try to change people? Why? What would happen if you spent each day doing the things that make you feel good? Can you do that? Have you ever done that, even for half of a day?   Would you say you are more selfish or selfless? Why? What kind of person are you? Do you feel good about yourself when you answer these questions? Your answers to questio

For years, Courtney Rohan thought that she was just a middle school teacher, who taught yoga. Now she knows she is just a teacher. Yes, she is that. To the core of her being, she is a teacher. She thrives when others learn more about themselves, can think differently or more intently about things, and when one remembers who they really are. It satisfies her to offer insight into a situation, pose or thought. So teaching is what she does to remind people that they are not their circumstance, body or thought, and they are capable of change if they desire. For over 10 years, Courtney has taught middle school English and yoga to a variety of teachers and students with varying needs. During this time, she has enjoyed living up and down the east coast from New Hampshire to South Carolina, providing students multifaceted uses of yoga to address life, singing, writing and delving deeper into spiritual practices. And her teachers are just as varied as her students and offerings. Courtney

The summer is here! Woo! There were times over the last couple days of school that I really wanted to call a time out.

Where do “valuable” feelings originate? And, mind you, they are all “valuable”; it is how quickly we can make sense of their value by feeling them that is really the key. Now is always the time. _______________________________________ There is a continuum of thoughts and feeling that we pattern, that we experience throughout our lives, daily, and moment by moment. They change. They begin again. This is scary for some to consider because most do not like the thoughts that they think very much. However, if we are the ones thinking them, then we have control over the attention we give to them, and therefore, control over them.  And that is the best thing to know about this idea of thought patterning; we are in control. We are the creators, and that’s really most of the answer.  These thoughts, all of them come from inside of us to produce a feeling, or the feeling produces the thought, that is map to our manifestations. So though these two things (thoughts and feelings) are

I want to tell you that I am going to tell you how to find a Soul mate, but what I have to say is more than that . I KNOW, right!! How do we fall in Love, literally fall into IT? How do we fall in Love in stance and thought…? How do we fall into IT so much so that we become IT?  I’ve been contemplating this lately as I realize that sometimes this presents a struggle for us because we are not sure what to think, and therefore travel down pathways that lead to an unfolding, manifestations, before we realize we went anywhere at all. Or before we realize we went the long way. We take trips in the other direction, away from Love to see what some thing holds, not maliciously, most of the time, but aimlessly, thoughtlessly. And, then we wonder how we got to the juncture at which we stand. I just came back from one the other day, a trip that is, when I rushed out of the house after a trying night of events, got to work later than I wanted to, got a call from my son’s nurse

I was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2011. I had just turned 32. There is a lot to say about that because I was doing yoga, and I thought I was breaking through the stagnant energy. I was young. I ate relatively well for my constitution. However, I felt the resistance in my experience deeply, yet, I still thought because I was continuing to move my body and at times feeling free in thought, that I was healthy. I was moving things around, but not out, so what I was thinking was gaining momentum and eventually manifested in my reality. It took some time before I realized all that. And if someone would have told me that when I was diagnosed, I would have been mad! Twelve years ago, before my son, I went to see a surgeon about my swollen lymph nodes. He told me that if I was not feeling symptoms, I should not cut into my body to see what was there. He did not think it was a problem; lymph nodes do swell. But I knew what I had been thinking, which is why I went, in retrospect. I used to
