Whats up . . .

Wow, I haven't written the whole new year and its February already! Not sure why, I've been plenty introspective, but maybe the things just haven't formulated themselves into words just yet, who knows. Or maybe they are now, here I am, sitting and typing...

So, lots going on this year, I've been busy with subbing classes, teaching my own classes (which have been much busier than usual) and doing more thai yoga massage. And more importantly, enjoying teaching a lot more again. I've dropped a bunch of my kundalini classes that just weren't working, but have added some more hatha classes, that are working in a big way, actually. I'm also taking part in a hatha teacher training that starts next month, one of four people leading it, which I'm excited about. All good on that front.

I've also been busy practicing more yoga than I have in many, many years. I've been of course doing my kundalini yoga every morning, but have deepened that with the new book of Yogi Bhajan's teachings around Rebirthing, clearing out the subconscious crap that can pile up, they have been awesome.

I also though, have been practicing ashtanga again. With friends, a couple of younger male friends who are interested in learning it, I've been practicing with them and its been nice to get back into my body in a way I forgot about. But this time the experience is much different than before. I used to feel it muscularly only, completely, now I feel the energetics of it and the emotions of it much more. Maybe after digging into the kundalini yoga in such a way, cultivating that prana awareness, it has given me a new depth. Not sure, but I love it much more now than I ever did then.

I'm still not practicing ashtanga alone daily, like I used to but I am practicing some asana almost daily, along with the kundalini kriya work that I'm still in love with.

Its most fun to get back into something only to find out that its a whole different experience this time around, but I'm sure that its better this way, if it had been just the physicality all over again, I know I wouldn't be enjoying it like I am now.

So, how's your new year going?!?
