Yoga for Recovery 11.28.09

Forgot to blog after class last night. Best I can recall, here is what we practiced. We talked about noticing how we feel and connecting to ease and serenity.

I noticed that the most difficult pose tonight seemed to be the supported bridge. Sometimes it is hard to communicate the landing of a restorative pose. But I also noticed that those who had practiced this pose before didn't struggle so hard. It is evidence that it is true that relaxation takes practice.  

Not only have I observed this as a teacher, but also as a practitioner.
