In an often challenging and hard world, it makes sense to need protection. Ensnared in our pain, this can look like getting defensive, bolstering the perimeter, not letting anything in, numbing out. It takes skill and practice to learn how to recover, to see the good alongside the bad, to strengthen the “muscle” of tenderness so that we can let in what nourishes us. The rectangular space of a yoga mat is a good training ground for softness.

As we approach the end of another year, it is naturally a time for reflection. Am I on the trajectory I want to be? How are external forces affecting me? What might I keep doing, what might I do differently? A routine can become a rut, what we take for granted might disappear without warning, what we accept as “normal” wasn’t always the case. In our practice, we always have the opportunity to slow down, check in, and invoke change.

The name of this session is inspired by the poem of the same name, by Jane Hirshfield.

Thomas Myers, anatomy teacher extraordinaire, once described the body in this way: “On the order of 10’3 or 10’4 (10-100 trillion)…these buzzing little cells somehow work together (coupled with a similar or greater number of enteric bacteria) to produce the event we know as ourselves.”

As my event moves from the living room to kitchen to get a glass of water, I wonder: does my body exist to serve my will? Or am I a steward of this body? Is this body mine, or on loan?

Through it all, our bodies are our original home, what we live our lives in, what enables us to live our lives. May we find a comfortable home in our bodies.

We use our yoga practice to steward our bodies with respect and kindness – join me in this exploration!
