The more I learn to listen

Date: Feb 23, 2008

The more I learn to listen, the softer my yoga classes get.

Last class...
Began with our breath observed, how in and exhale create subtle movement thruout the thorax and abdomen, the breath resonating further across soft tissue, deeper inside cell membranes.
It's not much more than watching.
Maybe that's the point, without much else going on, we have the chance to listen, to release and recharge.

Class ended with humming breath on long exhales while our hands rested above our heart, below
our throat. Vibration for several minutes over our thymus gland. Some higher pitched humming,
hands alongside temples. The class seemed to help us let go of some anxieties or at least feel
strong enough to look current worries in the eye. Sometimes, as yoga opens up our interior spaces, the distances between ourselves grows smaller.
