It's been a few days since I've shared my 365 day quest here, but happy to say it's still on. However, I haven't been particularly pleased with the practice itself.
Sure, trying out prenatal was interesting and helpful so I could become a better instructor and running straight downstairs first thing in the morning and getting my hour in before the day takes over is pretty nice and I am grateful there is that option. What I'm missing these days is a community and guidance from a mentor.
There is something to be said about going into a hot box and sweating it out with other hot yogis or dancing through a sequence of poses then lying in savasana offering up our practice to a greater good even if it's "oh, my thighs, I hope to have feeling back in my thighs..." Then there is the voice and touch of someone who moves a group through an hour (or more) of asanas with deliberate intention and mindful adjustment you just can't get when you try to squeeze in a practice because you promised you would. I've thought what should I practice, where should I go, where do I want to teach, who gets the regular swipe of my credit card?
I was reminded today that perhaps I'm giving this too much thought and to listen to where my heart leads. Ignore the shoulds, maybes, politics and go where my mind and body find each other and ultimately let go. It's what I try to offer people everyday, why not for me? So, realizing this I will find myself in a studio tomorrow and excited to share my entrance back in a place that doesn't offer anything but pure fuel and fulfillment for me so that I can spill over into yours and others lives.
