IMG_0079_smallNot the usual Restorative yoga associated with adult nap – a little misunderstanding but – whatever you need and whatever works to bring hardware/software “restoration” – it’s really more about yoga therapeutics, then freedom, then … chill out. Now Being a teacher, I really enjoy Being a student – to let another take the lead as a guide – phew, what a relief – AND I always gain new insights attending other teachers’ classes – it’s inspiring and educational to learn from another peer. There’s a fixed rigid idea or a formula as to what “restorative yoga” is as a style and while respecting the teachings, there’s much to be gained from being more creative. Sunday morning at 10:30 am; the larger studio room is packed with over 50 students, all seeking “restoration”.

IMG_0087_small Ganesha is a remover of obstacles. I am not Hindu and pretty sure not many who practice yoga in the West is – since yoga is NOT religion but love the stories of the deity in their system. It’s so … human. The temple alter is within.
