I’ll share this one with you: what does it mean to be in alignment? What is aligning with what? Alignment is a relational category.

Some Excellent Questions
I went to the first day of a weekend workshop with Amy Matthews, co-director of the Breathing Project, at Willow Street Yoga. As always when I go up to Willow Street, it is always good to see friends from the shared practice and study of yoga.
The workshop is providing much to peak my curiosity to explore in my practice and to refine and improve my teaching. I liked that when talking about teaching, Amy Matthews said that her goal is to empower her students to keep themselves safe.
As students, we are ultimately responsible for taking care of ourselves as we practice. If we do not assume that responsibility, we cannot experience fully what we are trying to know/learn.

On the Way Home from Tuesday Night Yoga Practice at William Penn House
Tonight, in addition to the regular students, a group of high school girls who were staying at William Penn House for the week, joined us. Their school, which is a Catholic girls school in Kentucky, requires the students to select a work of service in their senior year that involves the quality of mercy.
On the initiative of two of the girls, the group came to DC to lobby their senators on global climate change for their mercy service. They mostly hadn’t taken any yoga, but were enthusiastic to have it be part of their experience, and we explored a little how yoga practice might support them in such service.
