personal practice today was Stuck in the Body = Stuck in the Mind, by Heidi Sormaz. lifted into Wheel pose higher and more easily than ever before. floated into an effortless Bakasana, holding it without strain or tilting too far forward. taught a new student! the son of my regular student, he learned quickly and was very flexible. taught a modified beginners/intermediate class using Sun Salutations, Brahmeri, all three stages of Wrist Stretches, Dolphin, b-series with Eagle Warrior II, Reverse Warrior, Twisting Lunge, and Pigeon. savasan assists for all!
Last week, on Thursday, I finished the Embodying Enoughness (EE) series by Turbodog Yoga, Chicago. For persons who use yoga to heal themselves body and soul, I recommend completing two full rounds of EE in six weeks time, with classes four times a week. Using but a handful of meditations and just six different classes made up of Hatha yoga poses in the Forrest style (with some exceptions thrown in), the people at Turbodog Yoga helped me rekindle a feeling of wholeness and spiritual calm that I have not felt in years. Due perhaps to the great strength of my newly rediscoverd feelings but mostly to my tendency to try to operate in isolation, however, soon after completion I engaged in the harmful practice of excessive and habitual consumption of the sweet sweet sticky, which since completing my training I have been largely able to avoid. And, lo!, I am now laid up, sweating through two nights of fever-dreams and aching in muscle and bone, one molar infected and confidence in self and abilities wavering. Perhaps the lesson here is that the practice is the goal, and that few things come easily that are worthwhile. Healing oneself from psychological damage and harm done in the past is a lifelong endeavor, something one would do well neither to rush nor judge too harshly. Through practice man reaches god. Huzzah.
