In order to see progression, development, and improvement in one's practice, the best way to see this is to remain consistent and dedicated in the practice. By request, the next few weeks will be focused on the same exact sequences in order for you to see progression and variation in your practice. Some days, you may notice crow pose comes easily while other days not so much. In yoga, although patience and dedication in practice offers positive results, there are days that imbalance can be prevalent. So for these next four weeks, let's take notice of the variations in the mind and body, and of course, also take notice of the developments within the poses. What I hope to accomplish at the end of these four weeks is that each one of you will see an improvement or an attainment of a pose. So let's keep the minds open to accept where we are, but know that there is always room for improvement if not in the next four weeks, then in our lives...
See you tomorrow! Comments or suggestions prior to tomorrow's class is encouraged, because once the format/sequence is set, you're stuck with it for the next four weeks!

Yesterday was the last day for the 4 week program, and I hope everyone who participated at least more than one class noticed progress within your practice. By keeping the sequence consistent week after week, it gives us the opportunity to seek out those poses we find challenging not only physically, but mentally as well, and overcome them or surrender to them.
Just as the case in life, it is much more rewarding to overcome a challenge than complete something that's simple and mundane. So I hope by the end of this 4 week program, we were able to recognize those challenges and overcome them. I am open to any and all feedback regarding a consistent sequence for a few weeks, so let me know what you think! Also, I would love to hear of your stories about poses you were able to overcome or surrender to.
As for the upcoming class, the format will now change, so I am open for suggestions. Either send me an e-mail or leave me a comment here, and I will definitely incorporate that right into the practice for next week.
As always, any questions, concerns, or feedback is always appreciated! Enjoy your weekend, and I'll see you next Wednesday!
