I realize it’s weird to start a new year — and a new session — by cancelling the first classes. That’s not how it’s supposed to work!
And, I know some of you are wondering … what’s up? Short answer … it involves a broken bone, not mine. It will heal. But, it does require a little assistance and support from me.
So, there will be NO class on Wednesday, January 4.
Let’s try to start the new session NEXT Monday, January 9.
(Although, there’s snow in the forecast, I’m just going to pretend I didn’t see the weather news.)
In the meantime, I’m going to unroll my mat at home and here’s where you can help … Leave a comment at the end of this post and tell me YOUR favorite asana/pose … and I will do it as part of my practice this week and you can, too.
If we all leave a pose in the comments, we can all practice together!
Just unroll your mat, warm up a little (a few cat tilts, etc.), and mix and match a few poses. Hopefully, we’ll all play along and there will be a nice menu of Yoga poses to choose from!
(I’ll add a link at the end of your comment that includes a photo or description of the pose you choose, so you can just name the pose and I’ll take it from there.)
Thank you for your understanding and patience. Thank you for your warm thoughts, too. I’ll see you soon!
I’ll start! Here’s my “go-to” pose when I need a boost: TRIANGLE POSE

First, prayers for an uncomplicated, speedy recovery. Second: Downward Facing Dog, since it was your classes, Jackie, that taught me to love this pose.

This gets me right as rain every day: side bends > forward bend > down dog > up dog > down dog > giraffe. This week, though, in working on this: http://www.yogajournal.com/slideshow/anatomy-quadratus-lumborums/
Hope for a speedy recovery! Remember to take care of yourself.
