I taught my first private yoga lesson this morning and it felt very good. I showed up with an open heart and did yoga with a new practitioner, allowing her to show me where her body is at by guiding her through a series of movements yolked together with the flow of her breath. By observing her body's innate ability to move into postures and the letting go that accompanies intentional release, I was able to lead her into a body more fluid and less tense than when we started. "I feel good, looser," she said when we were done. I considered that an accomplishment on both our parts, hers in the surrendering, mine in the facilitation.
Then I held a make-up Baby Yoga class today for the snow day we had here on Thursday. One hoopster mom showed up with her darling boy and we spent the time talking and getting to know one another a little better... it was exactly as it was meant to be! I am honored to have shared tidbits of yogic lore and wisdom with her, and the shared feeling that we have a lot to learn from one another. She has been practicing yoga and hooping on the HoopPath for several years and taught both for many until she gave birth to her son. It makes me giddy just thinking about my connection with this amazing woman, mother, friend, teacher, wife, practitioner, hooper... I am so happy to share a community with her!!
All of that to say, I surrender... wholly, totally, completely to the life I am meant to live! Namaste, Brandi Miss
