How nice of your abbot to direct you to yoga and to feel the way he does about his students. The other day the teacher that gave the dharma talk at our Sunday group was a former dancer. She has the body of a yogini and an incredible grace and energy. I would like her to be my Zen teacher, since she's a Zen priest. I'm working on finding out how to do that. She now is living independently of the Zen Center, having lived there over 18 years. I can't tell you how this person embodies the combination of a yoga spirit in a Zen teacher. You just want to run after her. Well, come to think of it, my teacher SPL also embodies that. But that is why I liked this priest. Cheers, Arturo Hi Karen

I am for real. And I know you are too. I'll meet you in the field out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, etc. You know my true feelings, Zee. I am for real. And I know you are too.

The Editor's half-primary practice rocks my world. He HAS to pay a certain kind of attention because it is all very difficult and there are pieces that still do not make sense. Like for the Cop, the vinyasa isn't intuitive. For some reason, though, he figured out from the very beginning that it's nothing more than a breath practice (maybe I told him that and he actually believed me). At first I was, like you, setting the breath for him... but now it's his breath keeping me honest. Oh, this is all very beautiful.

I first came to yoga for exercise (upper arm strength to be exact, hated the weights at the gym) and it absolutely developed into something else. I like your blog! : ) hi there!
