Sept 1, 2021 - This week was the beginning of teaching my classes at UVM, and something I’ve asked all the students is to share a moment that they felt really present. People shared about being on beaches or climbing a mountain, but they also shared about watching kids play, walking their dog, sitting quietly in their car, almost falling a sleep, almost waking up.
What it make me think about is that, maybe, every moment has the potential to be special. You know, just because you are on the beach doesn’t mean it is going to be amazing, but it might. And, just because you are standing in a grocery store line doesn’t mean it has to be awful, maybe it will be amazing!
Today we do our best to make the yoga practice one of those amazing, present moments. I hope you watch and enjoy.
