Dedication

Lately, in my teachings I have been loosely using the word dedication. "Take the time to dedicate your practice..." or "You've dedicated the time to come to your mat....". Both of which are quite crucial, in my opinion yet I finally took a step back today in my own practice and noticed dedication.
In Sanskrit (as I have this love for languages) dedication is transliterad, if you will, to SamarpaNa. A newly aquaint4ed friend has re-opened my eyes lately to dedication. I have dedicated myself to teaching yoga. Lately, however, I have not dedicated my time and space to my personal practice and sharing that passion here.
We can all find that hour or so in our day to dedictate time to ourselves. The toughest part is getting there. Now that I have practiced for the day, my body alive, my mind quieted, and my soul revived, it seems so simple to take just a few moments more to dedicate here.
There is no time like the present.
