Tammy,<\/p>\n
Last night I went to a beach yoga class.<\/p>\n
I guess beach yoga puts a lot of things in perspective.\u00a0 Yoga is there for us to laugh at ourselves.\u00a0 We go to a place of nature and try to act naturally.\u00a0 We put our body into a pose to resemble a tree.\u00a0 The wind comes along and we lose our balance and like leaves, part of us comes falling down.\u00a0 Unlike normal life, we laugh at our little tree disintegration.\u00a0 We look at the horizon for a point to focus on and see a cruise ship; we start dreaming about cocktails, midnight buffets, and candlelit dinners.\u00a0 Then we laugh that the cruise is only in our head.\u00a0 Or we try to make it into airplane pose, a variation of Warrior III pose, and we lose our balance and fall to a crash landing.\u00a0 Fortunately we can laugh at this.<\/p>\n
The teacher tells us to do the the isosceles triangle pose, or was that the rotating triangle pose?\u00a0 My head is spinning.\u00a0 When we miss the crow pose and end up on our head in tripod pose with sand in our hair, who really cares?\u00a0 How about side plank pose which is also called vasisthasana?\u00a0 Say vasisthasana three times and if you aren’t laughing, well, take two ujjayi breaths and try the xanax pose.<\/p>\n
