Observing

Teacher training all weekend this past weekend, 10 hours both days. Classes included: Pranayama: breath and ratio, Pranayama: breath and movement, Deepening in meditation, Sensory systems, Sun Salutations, & Basic Yogic Philosophy. Now that we are about 1/3 of the way through this journey together, we are all starting to get close. It feels kind of like summer camp:)

Tonight I observed my first Ashtanga class with my mentor. I have to say it was a truly inspiring experience. Thank you to everyone who practices Ashtanga for being such an inspiration. Watching a group of people practice in synchrony was beautiful to behold. So many different bodies, so many different versions of the same posture, all beautiful.



Om.
vande gurunam charanaravinde
sandarsita svatmasukhava bodhe
nihsreyase jangalikayamane
samsara halahala mohasantyai

abahu purusakaram
sankhacakrasi dharinam
sahasra sirasam svetam
pranamami patanjalim
Om

Sending thoughts and prayers to Guruji. Namaste.
