Class #3 for Saturday was a special event as we all got together for some flow, some nidra http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoga-nidra , a potluck, good conversation and sharing. Kimberly led us through some slow stretchy asanas and then into a (literally) dreamy nidra session where my mind drifted off somewhere happy filled with playful panda bears. Seriously, I got so relaxed I started thinking about fluffy panda bears rolling around and playing. I guess it was a daydream because it was pretty vivid and I didn't actually go to sleep. Afterwards we all sat around on pillow bolsters and told stories and enjoyed some delicious and pretty healthy food. So, for the record:
Good: Pretty much everything. I am sure I could have done the poses better, but I let them come to me and didn't stress about anything. It's hard to be too self critical when you are in happy pajamas. So thats a step in the right direction.
Bad: Dunno, I guess I wish the whole thing could have been longer but we were there for several hours. The time just disappeared.
Yummy: A short list would include: Going to a yoga pajama party with my wife, trying new kinds of foods and enjoying all of it (I am a pretty picky eater) being so relaxed that my muscles unclenched, legally obtained panda visions, watching a pillow fight, getting to know the new teacher Shannon better, hearing John and Kimberly each tell stories about their earlier pre yoga days, and being able to wear my yoga clothes to bed without feeling guilty.
Is it too soon for another Pajama party?
