Yoga Playdate

In the hustle and bustle of the holidays, my dear friend Donna and I treated ourselves to a day together playing in New York City. It seemed impossible and I worried about timing, but we slapped the To Do List to the backburner, wrestled the clock for an opening and brushed aside doubt. And I am so glad that we did. (That's me, beaming on the right.) The highlight of the day, which I still label a treasure of a gift bestowed, was a spirited, beat bumping yoga class at Laughing Lotus taught by the saucy and sweet, Dana Trixie Flynn.

I don't recall the exact theme. And I couldn't tell you how many times I nodded along, in expression of solidarity of all those themes expressed. I remember my body, how the thoughts landed in conjunction with the words and how I felt a synergy. Yoga can be soft and slow, quiet and solo and it could be an electric. I love that range and I love an occasional circuit breaker party.

This is Donna, showcasing her Be Bold themed prowess. (Look where she just happens to be pointing). Don't you just love that wall?? It's in Laughing Lotus' "dance hall" room. Disco ball included!

Lesson remembered: always leave a little space, for possibility. You're invited to the party. RSVP yes sometimes.
