Coming Back to Movement

In hatha yoga, teaching, Uncategorized, yoga on January 9, 2011 at 10:12 am

It has been awhile since I’ve posted on this blog. A combination of life changes, including other writing demands and severe illness, interrupted my time with this writing space.

I am very grateful to be back to health and to a multi-dimensional yoga practice. Many of my students shared my hiatus and are also experiencing what it is like to come back to their yoga bodies.

It is a real process to return to movement. It can feel like breaking through ice to move in ways that you haven’t experienced lately. For me, it was almost as though I could feel my fascia straining and complaining as I began to incorporate asana back into my life. I realized just how much my bodily world had shrunk due to limited movement.

Movement is like lubrication to our bodily selves. We are built to move! It is part of the practice of being deeply human.

As I (and we) continue on a journey back to movement, I invite you to practice compassion, curiosity, and fascination at the process.
