Sweet Vinyasa, Monday 8:30am

27 Peeps
6 Drop Ins

So many out of towners. I did not feel like I got to connect as intimately as I like to. This seems like a new practice. The local regulars were teasing me about the crowd. A woman who I adore came up from LA and brought her pal. Her pal left in the middle. And while I am always glad that people feel free to take care of themselves, sometimes it's tough. Cuz you want everyone to have a good time, but you are not in charge. And mostly I felt like I had let C down. It took me a little bit to relax and let it go.

Main awareness on balancing the front and back of body and hanging in the center of the spine.
