I love the line in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, “put a little Windex on it.” Got a pimple? Put a little Windex on it. Feeling sad? Put a little Windex on it. Okay, maybe not…but on to yoga. Practiced today at Central Street in Kitty’s Tuesday Ashtanga class, and it was really fun. Shifting my traditional (preferred?) practice style into something a little more zesty and quick. Though it was 74% humidity in Maine today, so zesty and quick was pretty relative. But I noticed that this unfamiliar practice style had moments of peace, where I was tuned in to the instructor’s directions, and simply moved my body in space, without overly focusing on the form, or the people around me. It did become meditative, and I did find the focus on breath and the bandhas extremely satisfying. Lesson for today? Put a little yoga on it-even if it’s not your typical practice, because it might be exactly what you need!
