Inspiration

I just returned to the beautiful Sunny Slope Farm after the most wonderful yoga class. Jill Loftis, founder of Uttara Yoga in downtown Roanoke, led us through a heart opening and heart warming hatha flow. The space is utterly gorgeous, light beaming in through huge windows facing Kirk Ave. Wood floors that instantly root your feet into the ground, soothing music and a vibrant energy filled the room. At the closing of class, Jill passed around the 'quote bowl'. It was like a fortune cookie without the cookie. Mine was as follows:

Seek the wisdom that will untie your knot

Seek the path that demands your whole being

Leave that which is not, but appears to be

Seek that which is, but not apparent

-Rumi

I loved it, looking around the room, it appeared as if everyone else loved theirs too. The perfect ending to a perfect class. Namaste

  1. I have been very emotional lately...I don't know why. But that just made me cry. If you get a chance, tell the teacher that that quote gesture through her and your blog, reaches many :)
    NAMASTE
