Sweet Vinyasa: Surrender and Santosha. Monday, November 2, 2013

It is said by those in Chinese medicine that the kidneys hold our fear. We spent a lot of time making more room in this region and in the heart to help us increase our capacity for surrender.

I didn't intend class to be about surrender and death, but the mention of fear tethered me to it. Oh well. Its not the most crowd pleasing of topics, but on the other hand it is one of the skills absolutely necessary on the path of yoga, according to the sages.

I lost a little track on the second standing series and forgot some poses. I get to practice surrender today by not letting it bother me and instead learn from what happened so it can be better next time.
