Stiff White Guy Yoga, Sunday 10:00am

7 Peeps

I read a great tweet this morning from Leslie Kaminoff as he quoted from Sonia Nelson's closing speech at the Yoga Journal Conference.

"The student in front of you is the object of the teacher's meditation. The teachings are behind you."

I LoVE this. I love the continuum it expresses and if we are not paying attention to who we are sharing with, we are blocking.

The request was for posture work. We focused on allowing the posture to be supported down through the legs and then expressed with the breath.
