Joyful yoga

I talked about the joy of practicing yoga yesterday in class. It was funny because we worked very hard and at some point I looked at the students and was pretty sure what I saw on their faces was not joy =) But determination, yes. And when we finished, several students came up to me and told me that they did in fact enjoy the class. What a relief!

But then I should know better. Some of my most enjoyable classes have been the ones that I worked the hardest. And I'm sure my face wasn't the typical picture of joy yet deep down it was a purer joy than when my face is all lit up. I've been experiencing a lot of this deep joy lately as I have been really committed to my practice. And my teachers have been great about leading me through - Jeremiah, Chris, Christina, thank you all so much!

Speaking of joy, Lululemon's "Yogasm" is coming up =) I put it as an event on my facebook page. It sounds like so much fun! Great teachers, lots of fun activities and MC Yogi! What's better than that? I will definitely be there. I hope you all can make it!

Finally I just want to say thank you to all my yoga friends who have been so supportive and loving recently. I have become closer to you all and am so grateful for your friendship. You all bring out my joy along with yoga.
