January 17, 2007I totally love teaching beginners. There’s an earnestness that I’m inspired by and a wonder that makes me remember. They exclaim things like “I can’t believe how good I feel!” and “I can feel the openess in my body for … Continue reading
Uncategorized | Leave a commentHappy MLK Jr day.
January 16, 2007For a while now I’ve been wrestling with the paradox of practicing at your edge AND resting b/c you’re listening to your body. At the surface the two commands appear contradictory, and depending on the teacher uttering them, they can … Continue reading
