Abhyasa

So I'm still on a high from the weekend with Amy & Christina (along with all my other yoga friends)! Even though I couldn't make all the sessions, I enjoyed both Saturday and Sunday mornings immensely. It was great energy and self esteem work, not to mention just a bad ass practice! I did finally get my feet to touch my head in Rajakapotasona which I'm hoping to see a picture of on Christina's blog soon!

These practices were pretty intense and it got me thinking, especially after I followed the weekend up with a Charlie Pivert practice at noon today. I'm still going through the Sutras and I've arrived at the discussion on the importance of abhyasa (practice). It sort of goes along with the Anusara "A" of action. Sure you can set intentions and study the theory, alignment, etc., but nothing really happens until you actually DO something. Today is MLK day and my friends were quoting him a lot today. And there were great intentions behind those quotes as well as plans to see them through. But what if nobody actually did anything?

So as I tend to procrastinate sometimes, I decided to stop and get my blog entry in today. Now I'm going to teach and get some work done for my other job tonight. As Amy said in our workshop, I'm going to keep cleaning out drawers which in turn should continue to elevate my self-esteem. I hope to see you in practice soon!
