welcome the benefits that stay...

gentle yoga Fridays... the end of the week surrounded by long flowing white drapes and candle lights.... the end of the week.. stretching.. breathing in and out through my nose.. because that releases tension... listening to sweet Shannon's lilting voice as she talks us through poses to release stress.. strengthen our core..

Shannon's voice lifts at the end of her sentences... she speaks slowly, steadily and at the end there is a bit of a raise in the melody... it leaves you waiting for the next sentence to flow out and guide you through the next pose.. gentle yoga Fridays.. stretching.. breathing in and out ... 

She tells a story in a singing sort of way......like the melodies I remember from Mark .. my youngest  lotus blossom's instructor.... soft.. persistent.. how this opens the flow of the energy in your body.. how your body will find its place.. your breath along with it.. relax into it.. give in.. let go..

"it is not really about flexibility".. she says.. "it is all about adaptability"... let yourself adapt.. your heart .. your mind and your soul.. give in... let your body find its place.. and in the end of each experience.. "say goodbye to the experience and welcome the benefits that stay" ~ Namaste
