Any Alan Watt’s fans out there? He was a self proclaimed philosophical entertainer back in the 1960’s and 1970’s. There are many recordings available online you can check out. One of his ideas hit home to me.

“Life is a dance, and when you are dancing you are not intent on getting somewhere… The meaning and purpose of dancing is the dance.”

Am I a good dancer? No. Do I dance often? No. But the concept is something I completely understand. I’m constantly trying to complete a task off my to-do list. Thinking that I am one step closer. Close to what? I’m not sure exactly.

It feels good to complete a task! However, Alan’s quote reminds me that I don’t need to be in a rush to complete my life. I will have a to-do list the day I die.

When we dance, we don’t rush through to the end of the song. When we dance, we don’t race to the other end of the floor to win. When we dance, we are living in the moment. It’s not important where we are standing when the song ends. It’s important to enjoy our time dancing.

This Week’s Classes

(Las clases de esta semana)

This month is all about creating a routine. In class we have been repeating simple ways to move the body, making it a bit easier to create a home/travel practice. Below, you will find a few short videos to help you find a basic home/travel practice.

Homework/Tareas

We took time this week to warm up, stretch, and strengthen the wrists. A commonly overlooked part of the body in yoga. The way you use your hands in yoga postures is important. For many years I would place too much weight on the wrists. Doing so would make postures like Down Dog very challenging.

Take a look at the image below for more imformation.

Maybe this week you can find some time to practice yoga for your hands and wrist.
