What’s in a Name?

What’s in a name?  Why did I choose Waterfall Yoga Therapy as my business name? My infatuation with waterfalls started when I was little. I wrote short stories about them, drew pictures of them, saw images of them in my mind. And as I grew older and learned to meditate whenever I imagined my safe quiet space, it was next to a waterfall. The sounds, colors, smells, smells and sensations all came alive in my mind during meditation, just like when I was a young girl. Then one day we decided to look for land to retire and build a home. We searched over a long weekend in the cool, rainy December in northern AL. We are from Kansas originally, but of all the places we have lived, Alabama was the one place that felt like home. We love the people, food, climate, and the ability to drive to the beach or the mountains in just a few hours. On the last day of our search, it appeared, an open space nestled among the Smoky Hills outside of Huntsville AL within the historical Trail of Tears. The rain clouds literally parted and the sun streaked through and I stepped out of the car to see a for-sale sign and to hear the sound of rushing water. My first thought was, “if I can’t live on the ocean, then this, among the lush rolling hills and the sound of running water was a close second.” A few weeks later we took the plunge and went under contract, only to find out, that the water I was hearing was a full blown waterfall. I realized at my first yoga therapy training in Austin, TX during an exercise with our teacher Durga Lee on Yoga for Addiction that all my life, I have been manifesting that waterfall and here it was. One literally fell into my lap (for a few thousand dollars). And thus, the name Waterfall Yoga became the perfect name for my growing yoga business. And the dream of one day opening my Waterfall Yoga Retreat and Therapy Center is now one step closer.
