Casa de Esperanza: Dual Diagnosis 12.02.09

In these treatment centers there are always new faces, and some of the regulars move on or leave the center for a variety of reasons. I am grateful for familiar faces; they help carry the others. (But I do enjoy the newbys too!).

Yoga is SO amazing. Its only been few classes and these peeps are already starting to move with more freedom and flow. What a gift it is to watch the magic of yoga do its thing right in front of my very eyes. 

I was a little unsure of how it would go today; you might say I was a little nervous because the therapist who usually oversees the class told me I was flying solo today. But it was all totally cool, in some ways even more relaxed. In fact, after class today peeps hung out on our sofa cushions- turned- bolsters for about 15 minutes and we talked about yoga, Krakatoa, and art. I enjoyed our sangha!
