My morning practice was slow and undecided.
I am trying to incorporate more standing poses into my practice...for two, of probably many, reasons:
1)Students tend to love them..I suppose it's where they feel grounded in the practice; knowing whatever I may offer to them before or after, they are able to stand in their place for the moment. I practice what I teach. Often obsessively--just to make sure it's safe and playful.
2)I need to ground myself more often. I am airy. Creative. I love vinyasa movements, linking my moves as if I'm dancing through my practice--how I most often approach life...but sometimes I need to stand still. Stand up. Be planted in my views and know it's ok to feel the way I do, even if it's only a present moment. Placement.
Once I got moving, feeling the space--I found some fluid movements...working through spinal rolls, twists, incorporated backbends and side stretches into goddess.
I enjoy creating what seems to be new approaches to me to the simple movements I've done for 15 years...it adds that spark to my moment..to the beginning of my day.
