How many days you have been doing?

You must be an expert by now! So funny how we toss around a term like expert, or guru, or advanced or beginner. Kumar was an expert of Beginners Mind.

Renew Beginners Mind. When we know it all we cannot learn. The full hand cannot receive. Empty your hands. Start fresh with enthusiasm.

We move the breath in three planes of spinal function. We breathe, cup, and identify the lymphatic flow through their vessels. We move joints with breath and life force.

Naturally, your systems engage, enliven, renew enthusiasm. Breathe into that enthusiasm and it can double into outright passion, obsession, and out the other side. But, to hold yourself still. To honor the teachers.

All the teachers! Kumar? Numero uno in my book. I always loved epic teachers and even sought them out in adulthood. Robert Corrigan. Fred Curchack. Jacques Lecoq. Others and Kumar.

Kumar would say, “Let your experience be your teacher.” “Look at Nature, it is the teacher.” “Pain is a teacher.” “Discipline is the teacher.” “Observe the rhythm. That is most important.” “Breath. I will teach you.” “Stay in the pose. It will teach you.” “Every person is my teacher. And I am theirs.”

Thank you to all our teachers.

We step into the new year 2025 with gratitude, trust, and enthusiasm.
