Transitions

Last class at planet granite today. It was like saying goodbye to an old friend. Yes, we'll call, but it won't be the same. 

Part of the practice is to be ready to move to the next thing. To know when the inhale is complete and it's time to exhale- not in mid-breath, but to allow the transition to happen without choking, gasping, or holding the breath. Because one thing is for sure, as long as we are alive in a physical body, we keep breathing, and as we breath, we embrace the ebb and flow, the in and out. We embrace those pairs of opposites that Patanjali talks about in the yoga sutras. We embrace duality. 

Embracing duality without becoming attached. That makes for seamless transitions. Joy.
