Getting Out of My Head


After this morning's yoga class, I noticed that the class itself is different for me now than it was before I started teacher training. It used to be that when I was practicing yoga in class, and for many hours after class, I found myself in a blissful state - just flowing through the movements, allowing my mind-body-spirit connection to take place. That's why I love yoga so much. Class has become a lot different for me now, though. I find myself in my head a lot during class, listening for cues more than listening to my breath . . . thinking about what the next pose is going to be instead of fully engaging in the current pose . . . and wondering how I will lead my class similarly or differently from the teacher who is guiding the class, instead of just being guided. It just made me realize even more how much I love practicing yoga, and more importantly, why I love it. Pure bliss. How exciting it is to me that one day I might be able to bring that awareness to someone else.
