Hi Subscriber First Name, Every morning I open my computer to find about 50 new email messages, of which I usually delete about 48. (Maybe you’re ready to hit ‘delete’ on this?) Today was no different, except that I received a new one — a short newsy piece from a New York Times division. In it the author talked about taking a flight somewhere after two years of NOT going anywhere. The differences he/she noticed, the challenges, and the end result — vacation in a beautiful location. The author went on to tell readers about the value of ‘noticing’. I read with interest, since this has been a focus of my teaching this week — ‘NOTICING’. As in, feeling not just the poses I teach and practice, but also feeling the steps into and out of the poses. I often find myself rushing into poses, anticipating what the next pose might be. Rather, I’ve asked students (and myself) to enjoy each phase of moving, and - perhaps - allowing props (like the trestle in the photo) to assist us.
