When you feel strong and flexible in body and mind, it’s a sign the yoga may be working. Should you push your way through, or pause and breathe deeply, letting prāṇa and apāna join together to do their thing deep at the root of your navel? Kicking up dust or letting it settle? This world could use a little lest dust and a lot more calm.
Ironically our May Studio Talk was titled Abhāsya Vairāgya and the Net of Time! I found myself kicking up all kinds of dust to make it work before teaching the next day in Santa Fe, as both of us settling back into the US after months in Asia.
We set schedules, goals, deadlines and fantasies for ourselves of what should be. Important, but less so than recognizing when these things are causing undue stress and that we are the ones who’ve set the parameters that are causing ourselves stress. Maybe the yoga’s working because suddenly we’re feeling a bit of flexibility of mind.
Our newsletter content is ready, and our talk semi organized, but we’re putting it on pause. We ask for your patience as we settle and take a few days off. So, no Studio Talk this month, but we’ll see you on June 3rd instead.
Make effort. Take time too. Let dust settle as you take care of yourself and others.
Stay tuned for new online and in person teaching we’ve got coming up this summer and in the fall. You can watch our Youtube channel in the meantime and we’ll be at the Asheville Yoga Festival in July and much more!
