Yoga for Recovery 2.27.10

I've been travelling a lot and it was nice to be back at Lulu's. I didn't have time to 'plan' a class so I pulled some things that I love to practice.

On the road I learned a new way of getting into a supine twist but I couldn't remember exactly how it went so I only got there half way. The good news is that I didn't freak out about it, in fact I was fine with how it manifested itself. I think it helps that I was talking about sutra 1.13 (Abhyasa is the effort of remaining present) because I noticed it was OK to just get into the twist sequence half way. I went home and figured it out, and in doing so actually found something new that would be even juicer to teach than the sequence that I learned on the road.

I have a renewed interest in taking my studies of the sutras deeper. I am fascinated how rich they are.
