Resting Frog Yoga Studio is closing on March 31, 2021
With another lockdown it's sort of closed already.
I have been musing on many thoughts.
This Covid pandemic has truly brought some focus to what is important. I haven't taught a class for almost one year. I've looked at the path of yoga and what it is. It is an individual path. It was originally taught one on one between teacher and student. For the past year I've gone back to this original teaching. Private or semi private sessions. It has been enormously wonderful to teach this way!
I recognize that all the really important things I have learned in yoga has been from my own experience of it, that is, when I've been sitting or lying on my own mat and paying attention to what is present. Yes, I have had many guides, the best guides, and I couldn't have experienced yoga as profoundly without them, yet, it's all happened while doing yoga. The most important thing is to step on the mat. And begin. It's not so important where, or how, or what, or even why. Stepping on the mat, breathing, moving, noticing, breathing, moving, noticing, letting go, letting go, letting go, noticing, breathing...........being absolutely attuned to the moment.
Yoga is about one simple thing - attention. This is awareness. This is here and now. This shows you the stillness that you are.
