Big Ass Yoga

“Offering inhaling breath into the outgoing breath, and offering the outgoing breath into the inhaling breath, the yogi neutralizes both these breaths; he thus releases the life force from the heart and brings it under his control.” The interpretation is: “The yogi arrests decay in the body by an addition of life force, and arrests the mutations of growth in the body by apan (eliminating current). Thus neutralizing decay and growth, by quieting the heart, the yogi learns life control.”
— Krishna, Bhagavad Gita.

Big Ass Yoga.
Picked up my new apartment key, moved a few things in and went to my first teacher training class yesterday. I think this is the very best thing for me to be doing right now. I did a lot of research and picked the Yoga Center of Minneapolis.They have good teachers, impressive visiting instructors and the training covers different yoga philosophies, anatomy, asanas, mentoring, drop-in classes to observe beginning classes, etc. It's a very nice space, downtown, by the river. And yesterday I heard about a class unique to this studio called Big Ass Yoga! Or more properly, Big A#% Yoga. This is the place for me! Not like I have a big ass or anything . . .

Don't know much about the math I took.
I have homework: reading, studying and I have to present a pose next Sunday. A bit of a challenge while painting and moving in but challenging myself is the only way to make myself grow.
