Surya A
Begin in tadasana with hands folded in prayer at your heart. Leave work early, drive home and finish packing.
Ekam, urdhva hastasana - Drive to Omaha. Have dinner with Steph and unpack car. Drive to our Friday training session. Inhale.
Dve, uttanasana - We dove in to a beautiful session about hands on assisting and the power of touch. Our hands have some incredible powers. Exhale
Trini, ardha uttanasana - Saturday morning, I took a break from yoga and visited Amelia and got to meet sweet little Graham. He is one month old! I can't wait to see him change and grow over the next few months. Inhale.
Chatvari, chaturunga dandasana - Saturday afternoon, we kicked it into high gear with 108 pushups! We did nine rounds of twelve. My low back let me know it was a little fatigued, so I did smaller rounds of less than twelve. Always better to do three with great integrity rather than twelve where you are hurting yourself. Exhale.

Panca, urdhva mukha svanansana - I am soaking up my time alone after class, it is the longest day of the year. It's also the best day for doing handstands. I practice doing them, and am filled with joy as the sun turns the world golden. Press through the all the fingers, open the heart, inhale.
Sat, addho mukha svanasana - Downward facing dog. Five breaths.
Sapta, ardha uttanasana - We learn, once again, about sequencing a yoga class. So many things to consider. My mind isn't quite able to understand everything now, but the wisdom pools on top and soaks in slowly. Inhale.
Astau, uttanasana - We take class, more handstands. I do not know it at the time, but I hurt my left shoulder today. The injury will become one of several minor injuries that teach me many things. Exhale.
Nava, urdhva hastasana - Urdhva means extended. hasta means hand. As I enter into my fourth yoga class of the day, this one outside with live music, I am simultaneously exhausted and blissful. My shoulder hurts, but I practice in a circle with my fellow teacher trainees. Somehow, in our mutual exhaustion, we carry each other. Inhale.
Samasthiti - Driving home, I drink a chocolate milkshake and watch the most incredible sunset against the clouds. The plains are green with summer life.
