Speaking from the Heart, June 2nd, 2010

Theme: Speaking from the heart in our poses and in our lives. I related the story of a wedding I attended over the long Memorial Day weekend and asked the students to connect to the heartfelt authenticity seen during weddings when people make vows, toasts, and speak from the heart telling their family and others how important they are and celebrating their good fortune. The challenge is to find that same feeling on the mat and then take it back out into the world to express themselves more fully in everyday life (when they are not necessarily experiencing something as apparently auspicious as a wedding).
