Dear First name / friend,
Today was one of those days I'd like to repeat and repeat and repeat.
First on my schedule was to teach a Fundamentals Class. It went well and I truly enjoy the community that has been created not just by this class, but by
Sage Yoga. It warms my heart to walk into the room and hear students sharing information about happenings in the community with one another, and welcoming the new person to the group.
I went to my office afterwards for an appointment. Be still my heart! The gentleman coming to see me chatted and laughed, then we did a bit of work during which I talked about hips. All of a sudden, he is making his way to the floor !?!?!? He has not done that in my presence before (or been willing to).
Once there, he lay back and we proceeded to do some hamstring stretching, moving on to succirandrasana (thread the needle). Then – the moment of truth – got to get back up. We took it slow, step by step (roll to his side, push to sitting, come to hands & knees, and - placing hands on chair - he stepped one foot in, then the other and stood up). I am still smiling!
Not just that he did all of the above, but that he was brave enough to give it a try.
