Yoga Fire

Not hot yoga in the trademark sense, but hot from our own fire-building work, and dancing.  

Today I want to a workshop–manipura (the solar plexus chakra, sunny/fiery/out-into-the-world chakra)-focused and core/arm balance focused.  I always am shocked at how intense these can be, cleaning-intense kriyas the like, but a pleasant kind of shocked.  I feel rather detoxed in more ways than the literal.  Sanieh (the workshop-doer) talked about us each thinking of some thoughts to give up to the fire to be burned away.  

We did some free-form trance dance style bits too and then fell spent to the ground, feeling the ground solid and supportive after all that ecstatic movement.  Ecstasy, embodied spirituality, and a good reason to eat a lot of food and salt after.  

I was heartsick and still am but now I’m other things too.
