flowing with grace

i am still definitely on a high from the 11 hours of yoga over the weekend. attended the amy ippoliti workshop in singapore and all i can say is that i was really amazing!

so i admit, there were a couple of asanas that i was not able to do. but just being there - with students who were so passionate about the practice was truly inspiring and uplifting.  it made me want to become a better yogini in training and really go deeper into my practice.  

i have learned that i have gone past the stage when yoga was just something to help me stay thin. it has transcended that and has risen to a much more higher sense of purpose.  more than the alignments and the asanas and the tools i have learned that i can take with me with my daily practice, i have perhaps learned the most important thing during the workshop...that what sets yoga apart from stretching, from pilates from any other form of exercise is that (and to quote amy), "yoga is a way of life". it does not end when we leave the mat.  it just in the mat where we practice, where we focus and meditate...but yoga is also what we do as we leave the mat.

and i realize just how much yoga has really transformed my life.  and it is this constant journey of transformation that i am looking forward to.  

i wish i could just take everything that i have experienced that weekend and just let everyone else experience...and yet i know words will not be enough to describe experiences like those. words simply will not give it enough credit.

and so despite this long blog i have written...i cannot find the right words to express and describe how wonderful and truly amazing it all was...
