Pigeoning Forward.

I went to Hatha Flow 1 last night with Beth instructing. I am beginning to feel myself settle into the ease of Hatha Flow 1. I’m preparing to enter into Hatha Flow 2 very shortly. 

Last night though I was able to perform most all of the asana, I found it hard. Yoga stretches you in more ways than that of the physical. Instead, I am beginning to stretch mentally and spiritually in my practice. It’s challenging and rewarding. 

Last night during lizard and pigeon poses I felt my emotional self want to run away from all of this stuff that I my body was allowing me to release. I didn’t cry but I had extreme feelings of both anger and fear in these poses. 

Yoga allows us to push through this experience using our breath. My breath saved me last night more than ever. The last thing I really want to do in a yoga practice is fall apart emotionally. But then again maybe that’s the point. Complete surrender.
