The Things I Know

This morning I am grateful for the things I know. I realize I still have a lifetime, if not at eternity, of things to learn about yoga and the universe but I feel extremely blessed to have been taught when I know now and to have the desire to keep learning.

I love basically any yoga class I can get to. Especially because I can always make it my own. But I especially love what I learn from each class. Sometimes it's a new pose that I really needed and want to use (that happened today) and sometimes it's a great way to explain something or other times it's how not to do something. I like learning all of those things. I never mean them judge mentally because we all come from different places in our journeys. I just try to learn from where I'm at. 

Today I learned a new pose - straight leg forward, other knee bent on the grounds forward fold. Beautiful stretch for the front of my leg. Love it. I also learned some things not to do. Always be careful about which poses you ask people to do when there are so many students that you're hitting each other. Figure out how to teach shoulder stand. Always give easier alternatives as well as harder. Don't point certain people out, even for good things. Let people do their own variations.

I love my teacher from today. She has such a beautiful practice and love for yoga. She brings such light to her classes. I am grateful for what she teaches me. 

I am grateful for Bodhi and Syl and the many different tools that have come into my hands at the perfect moment to teach me. I thank God for the yoga I know and the yoga I want to know more about.
