Following my lead...


So I have been working with a friend, a private client who has witnessed so much grow from her practice and maintained her independence. Basically proving that the biological ageing doesn't have to run as fast as the chronological timekeeper. What was interesting to hear her say today was what came to her mind as she waited for her doctors appointment. He kept her waiting for 30 minutes, so she decided to do some yoga in his office, while she waited! Mostly breathing exercises... and I loved how she has caught on to my technique that "everywhere is a good place to do yoga." :-)

We learn so much from each other, though we may be different genders and generations... mutual respect and admiration makes life feel so rewarding. I am blessed to have this friend sharing my life and this wonderful gift we call "yoga." It's many branches seems to shelter us from most of the harms society seems to dole out to the public. I think a sense of curiosity, a willingness to view past, present and future, plus faith in the divine Spirit creates a sweet nectar for enhancing our time on this planet. Compassion and patience also comes in handy too!

I share this poem:
Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the Truth. It always hopes, always preserves. LOVE NEVER FAILS!
-Paul
