What possessed me to attempt one hundred and eight sun salutations? Simply the challenge of doing something I'd never done before and to honor the celestial change and celebration of Winter Solstice.
In a candlelit room, the participants faced one another in a circle and XoXo lead us through the movements and counted for us. Amazing focus could be felt in the room. It was only disrupted by the guy on my left who had decided to do his own yoga thing. Sometimes he was following the synchronization but mostly he was squirming and flailing, making jerky movements and "tripping out." It was challenging to have him there but also another lesson in acceptance. Similar to another very disruptive character in a different class the other day. He was a very tall and seemed to take up a lot of space. He didn't have enough money to pay for his class/es. He was a dollar short because he bought a bunch of groceries last night. In class he kept tugging at his shorts and moved in a lumbering manner. He shot into bow before anyone else but fell out of it with as much enthusiasm. Distractions abound.
Anyway, the Solstice was wonderful and I'm so happy I committed to participating in the event. Namaste, XoXo!
