i have a new infatuation (well, besides UNMATA.. ): yoga. for years i knew that it was something i should do. but kinda like going to the dentist=really uncomfortable. i had a huge block about it in my head for the longest time. i am realizing it was my EGO, b/c i've never considered myself very flexible. i knew it would be challenging~~awkwardly exploding out of "tree pose", having my heels way up off the mat in "down dog". finally, i'm allowing myself to enjoy this process. i love it! just like the super-green, dis shit gotta be good fo you! i feel like i'm giving my body a gift everytime i practice. after a few classes, it's exhilarating to see what my body can do. and what a satisfying work-out. i haven't felt this full-body worn-out since i was an avid climber. my teacher, leah, is really passionate about it. it shows. when we're all doing our thing, it feels a lot like dance. her body glows with the flow of it.
what did they say, in hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, was the answer to life the universe and everything? i think it's yoga.

hey tif!
i'm a lifelong yoga-file.
welcome to the flow-ing!
one night yoga helped me beat a drunk-driving rap when I waz real young: the cop asked me to stand on one foot and count to 30. i was really drunk but had the yoga training in the tree pose (the roots going down through your foot WAY, WAY down into the earth)... i counted, reached 30, kept my foot in the air and asked if that was all... he let me go without another word.
tee hee
i started a new regimen about 2 years ago, a combination yoga first and pilates to finish. great for my abs and thighs in the middle years.
energy and light,
