The Amazing, Mobile Body

Bird of Paradise

We are grateful that our bodies allow us to move in this way.

This is the line I've chosen to say when bringing the yoga classes I teach to an end. The post-savasana, pre-namaste wisdom that I'm happy to share.

I'm sticking with this line right now, though I'm not sure it's entirely accurate. How do I know if everyone in that yoga room is grateful that their body allows them to move? I don't know. I'm okay with that. Even if they aren't grateful, I want everyone to think, at least for a moment, about these phenomenal machines we have working for us.
