Living Boldly and Laughing Hard!




Yesterday, the teen yogis asked "Are we going to do something exciting??!!" They know that their class is not a typical yoga class. They know we usually jump off a lot of bridges, and they know that I will push them beyond their boundaries.
But yesterday, all I had planned were balancing poses.
Yawn....Boring.....(optional eye-rolling here..)
Little did they know that THESE balancing poses were far from "typical." We made a table out of bodies, a triangle of down-dogs, and a 7 person pyramid of inversions.
NOW, who's yawning?!
"As we grow up, we put away our laughter and our silliness and our childish noises, the great sensory hilariousness of our young lives. We pick up a few notions about proper behavior, like what books to read and how to go about getting married and buying a home and being polite and having cocktail parties....and the next thing you know, the little child--who was also an enormously alive sensory apparatus--is just another boring adult going to work in a seersucker suit with a briefcase."
John Rosenthal, "Amazing Conversations"

When was the last time YOU played? Would you like to? Why not join us for another fantastically hilarious and riotous 108 Sun Salutes on Saturday, July 28th, starting at 9:00 am. I guarantee a great time! (And, no, you don't have to do all 108. Do as many as you feel like, or just hang out with good friends!) Our last gathering for 108 Sun Salutes was an absolute blast, and this time we will have food too...Bring a favorite dish, and come share laughter and silliness with your yoga community....

Come Play for a while! Come Dance and Sing! For all we are, It's Beautiful...
One Giant Leap

See you there! I think I'll go play hide-n-seek now...
Grinningly,
