Strong Vinyasa 7.19.09

Early Sunday morning at Lulu's in Ojai has great energy. There's something about the Farmer's Market right next door; the sounds and  the smells and the bustle (it's as close to bustle as Ojai gets) that creates a great sense of a loving community. I felt so grateful for the opportunity to sub for Uschi and participate in the Sunday morning Matillija Street going's on today. I found myself using the word 'delight' a lot!
