Fully Rely On God



Meet my yoga frog that I bought for my office. I just love him. He reminds me to Fully Rely On God. Plus he is just too cute.

My yoga practice just keeps getting better and better. On most days I practice around 5:30 am. I still go to many yoga classes at Midtown. I also still teach at the studio SASY in West Memphis. I teach once a week now. I am very happy with my practice. I get to explore what my body wants to explore each day. I have been adding more breathe work in my practice. The Kapalabhati breath, in particular, I have been adding more and more. I am also working on relaxing more in my arm balances. I find that the arm balance becomes easier when I can just relax. This leads to an important question. How much time and energy do we waste when we try "too hard". When I get busy trying to control everything around me, I become very exhausted. On the other hand, when I just ride the life wave and trust in God, looking at doing 'the next right thing', and just focusing on the moment, then I have much more energy. This just goes to show that what I get to learn on the mat, I get to take into the world. For today, I will just move with grace.
Namaste!
