This past Saturday morning (October 19, 2013) i was in The Yoga Loft attending a morning session led by my young and gifted instructor, Ray Hoyt.

Interacting weekly with individuals of all ages (men and women, teens to seniors) during this period has been rewarding and fun.
It has been exciting watching others progress with their yoga practice despite diverse abilities and, at times, physical limitations.
All of us have enjoyed learning about and becoming more sensitive to how our bodies move - asanas done separately or in combinations as individuals or with partners continue to be approached in a deliberate and informed manner by our community.
Reflecting on the many open and private hatha yoga sessions i have participated in has been as satisfying as it has been humbling - one is frequently reminded of the physical and mental challenges yoga presents along with its many opportunities.
Daily non-impact yoga activities have transformed my body: i have become stronger, leaner, enjoyed greater balance and significantly improved my overall body flexibility in a safe and gentle manner.
As i maintain and enhance my yoga physical abilities, i also continue to appreciate and benefit from its calming and meditative aspects: from controlled breathing to seeking a more tranquil state of mind.
In future postings, specific references to my yoga activities and experiences including specific asanas documented during the past 36 months will be shared.
This 'journal' about my yoga classes has served as a valuable tool - it influences my current practice and interactions with others including clients.
