Soft Vinyasa, Saturday 9am

23 Peeps

Such a soft open vibe in the peeps today.

Felt like love.  Felt sweet and tender and moving.  

I have been reading Aurobindo's "Secret of the Vedas" and saw Slum Dog Millionaire Last Night and yesterday afternoon I got to listen to a little Ravi Ravindra.  So the talking themes were:

- our life is providing us with the answers to the questions

- no mountain is worth climbing if we can see it's peak

- the scriptures come alive only when we have the ground of experience to understand them

- tenderness and delight are essential on this path

We focused on lots of side waist opening, twisting and hips and tuned to the quality of listening.  A class can be "good" for many reasons.  Something magic happened today.  And it had nothing to do with anything we did.
