With the semester winding down I can devote a little more time to yoga again. I've been attending classes regularly but I can't make all my favorite ones. The classes are divided into levels, although most people at the gym seem to ignore this categorization. I started at a Level 1-2 and was quite comfortable there for a while. This summer I ventured into the Level 2 classes and really found my niche. There I could get both a good workout and a lot of detailed instruction. Some of my favorite teachers cover the Level 2 classes. More recently I've started taking a Level 2-3 with my absolute favorite teacher. It wipes me out every time but I love it. This weekend I ventured into a couple of Level 3's and found, while difficult, they were not as hard as that one Level 2-3 class. Suddenly the Level 1-2 classes aren't doing it for me anymore.
I love skill development. It is a wonderful thing to know that with time, patience and some concentrated effort, you will improve--no matter how bad you are at the beginning. I'm much better at accepting my limitations in yoga than in other areas. I totally buy into the idea that "this is where I am today" but it is nice when tomorrow brings me to a new place. It amazes me that my body is starting to do things in class that were impossible for me a few months ago.
A few weeks ago a teacher described a particular posture as playful. It was a posture that required considerable balance and I had been having some difficulty with it for a while. Playful was not how I would have ever described it but I decided to take her word for it and find the play. It's far from perfect but it is definitely better and lots of fun.
