It is my first day back teaching from surgery and I can't demonstrate very many poses, so therefore it was a grand opportunity to hone in on using language to communicate. I kept the poses simple and opted for a more meditative practice. I love the suggestion of Patangeli's sutra 1.33 of friendliness. Kevin Griffen in his book 'Burning Desire' discusses the Buddhist practice of friendlines as loving kindness, as well as compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity...almost a direct parallel to sutra 1.33. I resonate with maitri as a blend of maitri and metta. I think its significant it is the very first suggestion to guide one into the Yoga.
