Yo come and yoga

Grrrrrrreat.

I finally found someone who made me realize "why yoga." Why it's so good, good for us, how it works and how one movement builds on another.

I've taken several yoga classes from other teachers and frankly, it was just uncomfortable. But this teacher had the *wow!* factor. I get it, I get it! And it feels great! From beginning to end, from one move to the next.

She inspires through her instruction of the spiritual, emotional, intellectual and physical aspects of the millenia-movement techniques to the soft beat of East Indian meditation music.

What a gift ... I leave feeling on top of the world. Taller, energized, comfortable, pliant, flexible, supple and malleable!

Alas, she announced today she's on her way to Palo Alto California. Permanently. Right after next week's class. Sigh.

My search is now on for someone who replicates her fundamental understanding of the ancient way; who doesn't simply move through the maneuvers technically without comprehending or taking time for the spirit-body-mind connection of the practice.

I now understand why people become so enamoured with their yoga teachers when they are fantastic. From my experience, they're rare. At least, it's a stretch to seek them out. ;-)
