Kate's Playground

Savannah Power Yoga opened its doors to the mind-blowing new space(!) on Monday, July 29th. The first class was at 6 a.m. There were six classes offered this most glorious day and I was signed up for all of them. I wanted to celebrate Kate and this joyous event, to support each of the powerful teachers teaching that day, and to also experiment with this friend of mine named Yoga.

What would it be like to practice 7 hours of power yoga? How would it feel? Could I do it? Was I crazy for wanting to practice power yoga for 7 hours in one day? Well...I did. This is what I love about yoga. I love exploring the ancient truths of this sacred practice. I love learning about yogic techniques and then experimenting with what I've learned and seeing if what is written in the texts is the result that I get. And so far, from my personal experience, it's all true. Yoga is said to cultivate energy and to not deplete. The magic is in the breath. I built my day's practice upon my good friend, Ujjayi Pranayama. She set the tone for all of the 7 hours. I have to say that after each consecutive practice on Monday, I felt more invigorated. I felt more deeply into my body and into my muscles. I dove deeper into my mind as my soul opened up discovering the truths that holds life's excitement and intrigue. I felt alive. Monday was an incredible day. In one regard, the day's worth of power yoga was no big deal, but in another, it was one of the most amazing days of my life that I won't soon forget.

I like Kate's playground a lot. It has, in one short week, become a sanctuary for me. I feel safe there and happy. I feel connected.
