why we do it

i was brought in to help lead some yoga for people who had walked 20 miles in one day for breast cancer research. Yes, the Susan G Komen 3 day event. 

What was so great about it?  The people of course. Helping people 1 on 1 or in small groups as they came in from their walk. Some had back pain from sleeping on the ground. Others blisters. Others just pain in general. Others, they just wanted to feel better. Meeting everyone where they were, asking how I could be of service, letting them know that there is no right and wrong in yoga, and reminding them that they can't mess up, that their voice is worth hearing, and that it's ok to listen to their own voice, walk to their unique drum. 

And laugh. Providing a space where they can lighten their load, lighten up physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Even just to hang out and lay on a mat enjoying the sunshine. 

Yes, that's what I do. Why I do it? The Love. Because I feel a love that is impossible to express in words. A connection without attachment. 

Bhakti.
