Warrior Poses

Here we are in our last week of Simply Yoga classes.
It has been an interesting quarter with lots of learning and lots of Warrior Poses!
Warrior poses teach us to stand well with firmness, strength and intention. Learning to stand on our own two feet began when we were in the last part of our first year of life. Yet we are still learning to stand well. Standing in Mountain pose, we are still learning to find ground and rise up with confidence and purpose. How is it that we lose our confidence, our ability to accept ourselves as we are? How do we find it again? How do we know we are on the right path? How do we learn to trust our instincts, our intuition?
It is spring. Plant your feet in the earth, your sticky mat, wherever you are. Rise up to meet this day. Open your heart to what comes. Be in the moment. The circumstances of our lives have much to teach us. Listen.
