YOGA! Day 5!

Yoga is liberating in so many ways and it really is so so true that everyone comes to the mat for a different reason, maybe expecting something different, all seeking a different place, direction, goal. yoga is about sharing and being and fearlessness and liberation. Today Katherine taught our afternoon class. Greg read her application to us. It was completely open, honest, and beautiful.

We often don't expect certain people to have experienced the things that they have. We enter into new relationships sometimes with preconceptions, sometimes without, but these always change along the way. Katherine's openness and willingness to bear her heart to all of us for the sake of teaching us all how to be fearless and that liberation is achievable for us and for our future students was so inspiring. There is that quality in all of us, the ability to inspire, the ability to allow our inner beauty, our inner light to shine. Katherine proved it wonderfully today.

You really never know what another person is going through, what inner dillemmas they are trying to sort out, what is going on inside another person's head. This is why judgement and preconceptions are so misguided. Empathy is really always the best option.

In love,
Leila
