The Plural of Yoga is Yoga.

With one class of yoga under my belt, I was ready to take the
practice a bit farther. My first class was mostly spent learning what
the poses were called and doing the best that I could within them. Now
that I knew the absolute basics, I wasn't as focused on keeping up
with the poses, but was able to focus more on continuing to breath
properly while moving more specifically through the poses. I also
began to realize more exactly what the "flow" meant, and what I think
it's supposed to do. It seems to me that the flow between poses is
what keeps a class of yoga as one class, it's all part of the same
movement and expression, constantly refining itself. Even if that
isn't completely correct, I think it's a beautiful idea and it's what
I think of when I think about it. I suspect that it's one of those
things that is different to everyone, so if you have a different
opinion, or know the "correct" answer I'd love to hear it!

Then as I got caught up in this line of thought, class ended. I began
to look back at my practice for the day, and I tried to think about
how I could use the props that were provided in the same way that the
flow works. It seemed simple enough; I needed the props to enter a lot
of the poses for my body, so how could I incorporate the props into my
practice without breaking my flow?

I'll discuss what I've come up with in my next entry which is
tentatively titled: "Props to our props"

Namaste,
