Summer break is officially over. Happy Fall.
We had a good retreat. I recommend practicing in paradise as soon as possible.
Paul and I discovered the joy in the three-hour practice.
We're already planning the next yogic escape. Stay tuned for that.
My summer sadhana was terrific.
Kurmasana (Tortoise pose), dropping back to Urdhva Dhanurasana (Wheel),
and Eka Pada Raja Kapotasana (Full Pigeon) all
became very close friends.
In my on-going quest of union with the divine I've enrolled
in the All-Faiths Seminary for this year. I'm looking forward to
expanding my practice in new ways.
