I love yoga! There. I said it. Like all beautifully complex things, I believe the more I learn, the more I realize how much there still is to know! Yoga is, for me, a process of discovery. Each day I come to my mat, I learn something about myself. But after 17 years of practice, I think the best thing I've learned is to pay attention! Sometimes this means I need to concentrate on my physical practice (as you may hear me say in class-- "this balance pose is just a party trick-- the concentration it takes to stay in the pose, that is a life skill!"), but other times, when I'm attentive, I know I need just to breath, to be still, to listen, to rest. Yoga has taught me this. And, as my favorite poet, Mary Oliver once wrote, "To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work." So each day I get on my mat, I pay attention, and I learn something new. And as a teacher, I get to share this always new and amazing, infinitely unfolding practice with my students-- and be a small part of their journey as well! What's not to love about that?!
