6 a.m. Prana walk...inhale, inhale, exhale..continue. Inhale 6 count, Exhale 6 count. Red fox waits her turn to cross the road. To the mat, beautiful vinyasa with Amba Stapleton delivered with humor. I am attached to Kripalu granola. Of value: 5 minute prana flow, assisted ujjayi and Self Awakening Yoga with Don Stapleton. Of digestive value: roasted beets, roasted yams. A cool realization; a space has been created for me to really listen and feel the chunks of junk. I feel like laying on the mat and being attentive to a deep healing. It is necessary. It is a pure luxury to follow directions and place my somewhat malleable inner and less malleable outer body into the tender care of my teachers. These are the hands of the ages, all the masters are here at Kripalu to tend me today.
