Strong Vinyasa 8.13.09

Still in my twisting and breathing explorations. The mind can tell so many untruths about myself and my body, but the breath always likes to play and is in love. Therefore, I like to stay breathing!

Had the Charlies Angels of yoga in class this morning, AKA, the three graces, and the female energy in class was pronounced.
