I taught my second class today up at Med Mount. The universe teased me into submission this morning. It was one goofy thing after another until I finally started laughing and again remembered that I am not in charge. The theme for me this year.
I taught a class that I did not want or expect to teach but I had no choice. I would be too much effort to resist. Med Mount is a super easy place to teach. The vibe is so awesome. The space holds you still. The peeps that showed up were the sweetest most open loving group. And I had enough "anchor tenants" to feel safe. So there was very little to do but pay attention and follow instructions.
Talking points were on the morning's events, the effort of effortlessness, relaxation takes practice...things like that...again, it was not what i wanted to teach, but it was what i taught.

oh man that was a great class.
hi from the toyko airport! i fell asleep in my airplane seat in badhakonasana (there was no one next to me so i got to use two seats!) i brought your TT manual with me, which by the way, weighs like ten pounds, and i'm using it as a guide and reference book on my yoga journey through asia. yay! other guide books on my journey include erich's book and bob dylan's memoir. word.
i'm so tired and so happy to be in japan, which means i'm one day closer to being in singapore, but sad because it means i'm two days past the crib, which was AMAZING. thank you thank you thank you!
love!
