Yoga Basics, Monday @ 5:15pm

10 Peeps
3 New

Again, I was inspired to try to share a little of the work we did in the Tuning workshop on Sunday. The energy of the folks was really divergent and it was the kind of class that required me to "just keep going". This combined with the effort to share some new subtle ideas made it especially challenging. By the end, there was a collective calm, but it took a lot to get there.
