This Saturday I'll be teaching a short yoga session in Inwood Park, can't wait! The last was excellent, we had a not-too-sunny day that allowed the Inwood and Palisades fall colors to glow. Nature was our teacher, especially for mountain pose and rag doll with our heads hanging like pieces of fruit.
I participated in an energizing kirtan Sunday. I love kirtan, which I had thought was New Age and weird, but it's healing! As Wah! says, you're singing praises to god, whatever your understanding of god may be. Singing/chanting is shown to have therapeutic benefit for stress reduction, even if the bhakti-devotional aspects are unappealing.
I also did a fantastic class with CJ McPhee and her Energy Moves system, it's so gentle and relaxing. For anyone interested in tai chi and chi gung, these motions are easy to follow yet feel very renewing. Soon her DVD/CD will be available on Amazon, which I've used and enjoy. Simplicity meets healing.
