Reflections on Four Decades of Yoga Practice

Who reads blog posts these days? We have so little attention span past the first three sentences or paragraphs, I know, because that is what I tend to do! So, I have decided to write for myself.

Reflections on four decades of yoga practice –

Why practice: to cultivate a sense of Center, a hub in the midst of an increasingly chaotic world. A Center that anchors me so that I pause before I speak or act impulsively. A Center rooted in values that embrace generosity, gratitude, justice, love and listening. A Center where I can return to replenish body, mind and spirit.

How to practice: first, I connect. Connection is how we grow, through relationships. A hub is only a hub when it has spokes. Whether I connect to a person, a tree, a way of sensing, or my breath. Connection based on the dance of listening and responding, a rhythmic attunement to sensation and change.
