transformation. bringing up the OLD and creating the NEW. i recently experienced an overwhelming cry session. sessions. it was the wind removing pose. when i heard my teacher say, "be thankful for this full lung breath. you are capable, you are doing it right now. full capacity."
well, i started balling. it brought my back to the moment i put my dog down. on the beach at our local surf spot. the sun was rising over the eastern hills and ... wow! it tripped me out. i felt as if i were holding my dog, bear, into my chest not my knee. i could feel his last breaths against my body and after the first set i was very confused. second set - i accepted my action of 'doing the right thing' and breathed with my dog, bear, into that painful place and my spine opened up. just a little bit, but it opened. my emotion had released from this space. trippin'.

it is a journey. beautiful, painful, ugly, awkward. each day is different. that day was fear and doubt. was.

bless you in your journey. (in and out of the yoga room.)

I read somewhere that the heat is supposed to replicate doing yoga in the heat of India......
