Strong Vinyasa 12.20.09

We swam in the joy of the practice. I didn't plan on theming that, and it just came right out of my mouth. There was a playful air in the room and even though the standing series was somewhat vigorous, it flowed with a lightness and some fun.

For years I've loved moving from 3 legged dog to 3 leg plank to lower to vinyasa. This morning it came out in class for the first time. I didn't plan this either. All and all, it was just that kind of present moment class...
