Yoga for 1
When I took my training in Yoga 2 years ago, I was headed straight for the studio. I had a small studio space I rented, located in behind my metaphysical store. For various reasons, shortly after my studio was built, I decided to leave my business, and let go of my high overhead. Though in some ways a very hard choice, it was the best at the time, and in the long run, has been serving me well.
Today, I find myself spending more home time; the desired effect of my earlier decisions. I build and take care of gardens, designing and re-creating spaces for a select few clients, and I have a yoga class in a small room on my property. It is a class for one.
Lacking a larger studio space, I longed to keep my asana together – hahaa – and so created a small room to teach my one steady, never leaving client, come friend, and a couple of others that come along as well on occasion. L, we’ll call her, was my first regular client, and supported me through my days in my studio, and some dark times surrounding my business, attending class unfailingly each Tuesday evening since I began teaching. She is my Angel of Asana, and balm to my soul, and rather dear to me.
At times, I go through a period of frustration not having the space I wish for, however, I continue my practice, a varying practice that allows for all the things I must do in a day, and for the continued sense of peace yoga brings to me. My larger space awaits me, how it will come together I do not know, however, I did not know how my little acreage would come together, and it did, or my home, that I am writing from. So, trust, and practice, and all will be well, and together in it’s perfect timing.
In the meanwhile, yoga, and magic, have peeled through many layers of myself, shifting what needs shifting and altering and tweaking my body, mind and spirit, and all the while, I continue to teach, even a little with my Yoga class for 1!
