Breathing in, I know I’m breathing in.
Breathing out, I know.
As the in breath grows deep
then the out breath grows slow.
Breathing in makes me calm.
Breathing out makes be ease.
With the in breath, I smile.
With the out breath, I release.
Breathing in, there is only the present moment.
Breathing out, it is a wonderful moment.

Our practice for these two weeks will include a little extra on the abdominal strength (Uddiyana Bandha anyone? : ) We’ll be doing some Ardha Chandrasanas (1/2 Moon balance), Virabhadrasna III (Warrior III) and Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana ( Extended hand to big toe pose). You know how kids can try some new thing like a handstand on the grass? They try, fall down, laugh and try again. Let’s find that old feeling and have fun with our practice without worrying about the outcome. See you all in class!

Knowing others is wisdom; knowing the self is enlightenment.
Mastering others is strength; mastering the self is true power.
