Reason #83 for winter yoga

------/||Yoga Fridays`2009`.` ```)~~

Yoga friends,

It's still winter.
Instead of reaching out, yoga practice hunkers down,
bending and folding inward, slow, close to the ground.
Classes are small and poses fit
tight, breathing becomes intimate.
There will be class on Friday, 7pm.

What is our karma for being present when
being present detaches us from our karma?
(from Swami Bhenenjerri in Koan of Koans)

When are we the event, not the involvement?
From standing, sitting or laying down,
in the joined focus of mind and body-
our physical and mental frame of reference begins
from a point of contact with a mat or the floor,
information that tells us what and where
in a most fundamental possible way.

Watching within our body, inside our mind, we recognize
our presence in this moment and move in a positive way,
co-ordinated, purposeful and not distracted.

Class once a week is a guide. Help with a home practice
or class twice per week is a remedy for serenity.
A flexible body is the garden for a pliant mind.
Plans to add more classes begin
with a Friday approach to health.

Be resolute and enjoy mindful practice.

Obamaste, :)ohn
