Breakthrough
The San Francisco Public School District introduced a meditation program, called “quiet time,” to four of its schools, including Visitacion Valley. Over a four-year period, suspensions decreased by 79 percent and attendance and academic performance noticeably increased. Burton High School extended the school day by 30 minutes for meditation time, which resulted in better academic performance and a 75 percent decrease in suspensions. And students say they’re more conscious of their actions, calmer and less angry.

Testimonial on Coaching
“If it wasn’t for Cary Bayer’s business coaching I wouldn’t have been able to sell my two yoga studios during Covid. I had tried to sell the House of Yoga in Stafford and Fredericksburg before but had no luck whatsoever. I was prepared to just let them go as the pandemic raged on. Not only did I sell my two yoga studios during Covid, I also sold them for my six-figure asking price. And within the space of just 30 days, no less!
“I consider myself to be an expert in yoga and wellness but selling businesses was not one of my gifts. Cary gave me the courage, clarity and confidence to move in that direction even though I wasn’t confident in my abilities. He also helped align my consciousness through affirmation and visualization to help make the sale possible.
I’m grateful to Cary for giving me that push and reminding me that I had what it took! I have gained so much from our sessions and recommend him to anyone in business! “
–Linda Osorio, founder, The House of Yoga
certified Yoga Teacher Trainer, and massage therapist
Stafford, VA

Syndicated “Life 101” Column
The column below ran in syndication in a variety of wellness publications, including Together Arizona http://www.togetheraz.com/ in the past
Article: Your Cat, Your Dog, & Your Yoga
“Two dogs and a cat come to the gates of heaven where their lives are assessed for entry by God, who is sitting on a heavenly throne. The Golden Retriever says, ‘I’ve tried to be a loving presence in the family.’ The German Shepherd says, ‘I protected the children and was a scary guard dog.’ The cat says, ‘Why are you sitting in my chair?’”
* * *
I love dogs. I extend my hand to almost every dog I meet. I do this because I think they’re such beautiful beings, full of love, joy, and goodness. Is it any wonder the English word dog is the English word god spelled backwards? As much as I adore dogs, those who know me well know that I’m very much a cat person. Always have been, always will be. My love for cats started in childhood when I played with the cats of my grandparents and aunt and uncle. I lived with my own cats for 30 years. I’ve never lived with a dog.
After taking care of my friend’s dog for three days, I’ve come to see how cats and dogs complement one another and embody for us—are you ready?—two distinct paths of Yoga. By Yoga, I don’t mean the postures of your Yoga studio’s Hatha Yoga—namely, Downward Dog and the Cat Pose, not withstanding–but two distinct, very specific paths to spiritual development. Any serious Hatha Yoga practitioner or teacher would love to have the extraordinary flexibility that dogs and cats have in their bodies. The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit yoke or union; Yoga means to unite your individual consciousness with the Universal divine consciousness. That’s how I’ll refer to Yoga below.
Your Dog, the Yogi
Dogs are like the seekers of Bhakti Yoga, the Yoga of love, service, and devotion. It’s hard to find more devotion than that of a dog to his master. The Bhakti Yogi serves his master (or God) in human ways, while a dog serves his master in canine ways. Can a creature express more love to another being than a dog does to the people who care for him and with whom he lives? A dog’s tail wags excitedly when he gets to serve and love his master.
Dogs are also excellent examples of Karma Yogis, the Sanskrit term for spiritual aspirants who do good works to make the world a better place. The obedience of a Golden Retriever fetching one tossed ball after another ad infinitum or ad tired “armum” or other trained canines who bring their masters their slippers and the proverbial morning paper (provided it’s not an online version, as you don’t want your smart phone in your dog’s wet mouth) speak to the standard of Karma Yoga.
Your Cat, the Yogi
Cats, on the other paw, are like the aspirants of Raja Yoga, which is defined as the way of control and non-attachment. Meditation is the typical tool of the Raja Yogi. It’s hard to find a being more detached than a cat. A cat’s tail might be wagging simply by hanging out by himself. While dogs love to be hanging out with their owners, and most certainly accompanying them on driving errands in their cars, cats are quite content to sit by themselves, and certainly stay home during such driving errands, enjoying the mellow spaces they’ve carved out for themselves.
We’ve all heard the expression, “It’s raining cats and dogs.” Yet we don’t have a similar expression like “It’s training cats and dogs.” That’s because while dogs are eminently trainable, more than happy to do your will, not so with cats. Canines surrender to their masters, just like the true Bhatki Yogi does to his. They also happily submit to obedience training, sensing that that’s something that will make their masters happy. The popularity of obedience training programs for dogs testifies to this point. As for felines…well, that’s a cat of a different color. You’ve never heard the expression “herding dogs” because that’s simple to do. Just don’t try to herd cats
because their claws might come out from such an insult and hurt you. As the popular express goes, “Dogs have owners, cats have staff.”

Referral Fees
When I ran my own marketing/PR firm, I loved thanking anyone who referred a new client to me, by sending a check for 10 percent of the fees generated. I have a similar policy as a life coach, a meditation teacher, and the writer of books for others. If you inspire someone to become a client of mine for coaching or book writing, or a meditation student, you’ll receive 10 percent of the fee that that person begins with me at. That could easily mean a check for you of $105 or $65 for coaching, for $50 for meditation, and hundreds of dollars for book publishing. It’s my way of saying, “thanks.”
My thought is simple–who couldn’t use a piece of unexpected income?
