Simply Yoga

This year I have been devoting myself to learning, visiting many yoga centers around the Princeton area.

I woke up early this morning and decided to explore yet another yoga studio, Simply Yoga.

Saturday, 9am class with David T. was harmonious from the opening Aum (also ohm, a sound which represents the union of mind, body, spirit and universal oneness) in which I experienced a unique sense of unity, to the shavasana (lying with back flat on the ground giving the body a chance to regroup and reset itself) at the end of the class.

David introduced me to his wife who also teaches at Simply Yoga.

After experiencing David’s Iyengar class (in which props are used to emphasize precision and alignment for every posture) I would welcome being part of her class as well.

During shavasana I visualize myself holding a bouquet of flowers ,as they were actually blooming, ready to share their joyous state with all.

Flowers laughing,

flowers singing

and some just smiling and looking pretty…

that was a wonderful way to start my day.

Later, in my personal meditation…

Lilacs were blooming that very moment

sharing their

intoxicating yet subtle aroma

with all that came in their path

Oh sweet and gentle flowers

I give thanks for these lilacs within this meditation

I give thanks for you my reader

I give thanks to all

May we always feel

our own personal bloom

facing the sun on a harmonious summer’s day

May we all experience

our own individual beauty through all of senses as we

see

touch

hear

smell

and even taste

Let’s take a moment

to share our beauty

with one another

today
