This past weekend in Teacher Training my students had an opportunity to take a really intense hot yoga class... and by intense I mean, hot with a 10 minute malasana thrown in there. These guys were challenged not only by the heat, but with holding long hip openers, and then the frustration that comes from a 10 minute squat!The next day, we learned about Chakras. What an eye opening experience for them to not only learn about chakras but be able to experience what can happen when you tap into them through asana... it's a game changer!
Understanding that every day we have choices that we make. Society has taught us that there are things we have to do. But in real life, we always have a choice. We can choose to sit in malasana for 10 minutes and be miserable, or we can choose to stand up and honor ourselves. We can choose to sit in malasana for 10 minutes and wear our xray glasses to observe what we start to feel, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
When we stand back and observe our own behavior, that is when the yoga magic happens!
