Happy Mothers Day to moms, grandmothers ans expecting mothers. Enjoy these thoughts from our very own Sandra Agricola and see her insight come to light this afternoon during Slow Flow at 2:30p. Mention this post and bring your mom to class for free! Ashtanga on Mother’s Day Begin at the heart. Palms pressed firmly together. This is the silent—Please. Rotate and raise your arms to the sky. Look up. This is the silent—Yes. There are five of us standing On mats bumpy and curled Over grass and rock and acorn. This is imperfection, Acknowledged. Don’t stop, keep going, Ashtanga is a moving meditation. Triangle Pose—Utthita Trikonasana. Turn to the right toward the tennis courts. We are always turning toward or away, But maybe it’s both, not either or. It looks easy, but it’s actually a very difficult pose, This lateral bending away, this softening In the rib cage, this lengthening. To bend without collapsing Into the person you never wanted to be but are anyway And loving that person, too. The mother you never had but wanted Inside you all along. This is Drishti, the warrior mother Inside all of us.
