Stop fighting and be patient

A weekend marked by sickness and the initial reaction to refuse that was the case. If you can argue that every experience is a learning possibility, then this was a lesson in patience, acceptance and surrender. It's not favourite lesson, but it still inspired me to a full yoga class on the topic. Patience to work in balancing positions. Stop fighting, work step by step, back off, start again. Accept that certain days are bad balance days. Perhaps without explanation, perhaps connected to a stressed mind. No matter how strong you are, no matter how flexible you are, balance can be good or bad. Joy to get the message across to a group of twenty five yogis who defied minus fourteen degrees and came to class this morning.
