Clearing A Path
To begin our practice we must carve out time for ourselves in our schedule. We arrive in the space where we’ll lay out our mat. The space you choose should be somewhat clear. For me that means swiffing the floor before each practice. The process of opening our bodies so that internally we can begin to feel spacious, less tight and crowded within our own skin begins in a clear space. With all of this clearing out we have the possibility to open our minds, like the big sky.
