Both learning and teaching yoga is a great joy,! Sunday, October 12, 2014. Dear Ones, remind me of this day when I do not smile! Maybe it is the softer light of the overcast sky. Or the moisture in the air. That brings this day under my skin in a soothing magical depth. I feel closer to ones who have passed beyond: are they sending us blessings?

Then, as we develop, we move within our own skin and within the womb; though curled-up we moved in an incredible range of motion. We are arching our spines. We moved the muscles toward this man...
