Let the source be with you
The theme at the new yoga studio on Canal Street is getting in touch with your source. They had a visitor offering classes over the past week, Lama Christie McNally. She was offering a class called Two as One and I went hoping to get closer to my relationship with my self and with others. It turns out the class was about moving through yoga practice with a partner. I, unfortunately, did not go with my partner, and ended up getting hooked up with an acquaintance who had to leave early. As I was moving through the same positions that everyone else was doing with a partner, I partnered with the wall. And I thought about being alone while everyone else was hooked up and I liked it and I didn’t like it. I’ve never had any issues with flying solo but I have to say I much prefer flying with a co-pilot.
Meanwhile, I took Aaron’s class a few days later and he introduced the idea of moving into uncertainty as yoga’s source and how tearing asunder forces you deeper into who you are. It made me think of myself and my relationships and I thought imagine I’m not who you think I am, that I’m better and let me imagine that you are better as well, then from here we can tear down what have now become expectations of how we are going to react, act, and deal with each other and we may grow.
Rock on.
