Day Twelve

Tonight's class was amazing! There were more than 30 bodies in the room, which fed the energy in a very interesting way. I found the trick to staying cooler is to get in the front row, which is the farthest away from the heating vents (this is really good to know.) I felt much cooler the past few classes, maybe due to the front row or my body becoming acclimated to the heat.

The shear number of people showing up to this studio speaks strongly about this style. I have seen a lot more men in these classes. Josh and I discussed that men may be drawn to this style more for the 'workout' aspect of it. I say, hey, whatever gets them in the door. The more styles of yoga there are, the more people they can reach out to.

As I walked by Bar.Food after class, I was stopped by a man and his wife having a sip of wine on the sidewalk. (It is always the last thing you want to be doing when you look as if you just went swimming in a pool of your own sweat.) We pleasantly discussed yoga and how there is a style to fit everybody. I encouraged them to try it. I hope they do. I hope more people get outside of their preconditioned box and try things that they never thought possible. It is our self created fears and anxieties that prevent us from doing amazing things. That part of the mind that creeps up and tells us "You're not good enough."

Well that my friends is bullshit.

We are all good enough. Everyone that has been blessed to receive a human body that breathes air all by itself, deserves to be free of the suffering caused by the mind.

Get out of your head today; try something new. What the heck, maybe even take a yoga class.
