Change. Changes happen regardless of whatever we think, or however we resist. What does not change?
While we let the question settle and expand, we renew foundations of our body, breath, and mind. Three planes of movement awaken from the spine. We activate conscious breath. We open and move the “gates” of the lymphatic system. Together, this morning routine provides tools to step deeply into your day.
What is needed for hand balances? How do they build? How do we enter and exit? Where is shtira?
Beginning again means asking familiar questions and looking for the answers in the posture, observing what doesn’t work, and what does. Learning twice, and twice again in Beginners Mind.
I recorded this last night because I must be on the road during our usual time. Here we observe three planes of functional spinal movement with breath. I invite you to recall warm-ups of this past week and to practice from whatever you can recall. If you cannot recall, then reboot yr favorite livestream recording and use that.
This week marks the start of a new endeavor at the SAMURAI INTI Martial Arts Studio in Frisco. I’ll be teaching i a group class there at Sendai Sebastian Mejias ‘ dojo on Monday and Wednesday mornings.
