In my home practice this morning I had a startling revelation. Towards the end of practice I was resting supine, knees bent, feet flat and feeling the space in my low back and sacrum the practice created. I often point to this when I teach. This morning I took it a step further and realized..the space has always been there. Everything I've been looking for/longing for is inside. The techniques of yoga continually point me to the truth. The more I learn to relax, the more becomes revealed. Opportunites to flow with love open and present themselves all the time.
I've recently entered into a love affair with Yin yoga. I've been attending Kira's class on Mon and Wed nights since November. Yin for me has been a gateway to meditation as well as helped me land with less vrittis in my yang practice. I feel yin could be powerfully useful for recovering peeps. Not particularly for treatment centers, but more once they got the gist of sobriety and were on steady ground. I'm taking this idea for a personal ride at the moment and have been thinking a yin teacher training might be in my future.
It was an intimate class. YIN was particularly requested. I've never taught it but it felt like time to dive in. This is what I had inside, and this is the sequence that came out. Don't know it if was right or wrong, but it was straight from the heart.
