Thanks Nicole, I may try this tonight! sounds yummy
ReplyDeleteso I am at work in the city and eagerly awaiting today's post. The posts are a break for me as they transport me to my yoga space and instantly I am happy (those of you who sit in front of a computer all day understand how this feels). I am probably the least experienced yoga student of the Promiselanders. I become a student in July and have worked very hard to understand and practice yoga and have made a great deal of progress in every way. Thank you to the teachers for the help and encouragement.
ReplyDeleteNever would I have thought that I would be spending so much time learning how to breathe. This has been the most powerful of all the aspects of yoga I have learned so far. I tingle when I think of the power of my breadth, how it acts as a filter between myself the world as I experience it and how it gives me light. In class on Tuesday, Mitchell talked about getting "lit" from ones breadth--how it provides fire to you. I have carried this lesson with me. My promise is to find and maintain that light... and the "luck" that goes with it.
My best,
Andrea
