The hard kilometers make savasana real. And savasana makes the hard kilometers worth it.
Effort and ease aren't opposites, they're partners in a long and patient conversation.
When has effort made space for deeper rest?

Artie's version of savasana.

Now and then a student of mine will fall asleep during savasana. I just let them rest for as long as possible (as long as they're not disturbing the class by loudly snoring). I will then gently wake them, they often apologize, and I get to tell them that it is all right, it is a sign their body needs the rest, to go home and get some extra rest.
So today it was my turn to doze off during savasana (during my own home practice, so no one to wake me up and no one to disturb). Guess my body is trying to tell me something 🙄

Sometimes when life feels hard, lie down, surrender and let some brave spirit guide you back to your inner peace. I did.

Slowly getting my yoga students to be able to relax in savasana, and being told they're enjoying it, always feels like a win.
Coming from crossfitters that are go-go-go all telhe time? It's a big win.
(pity the other teacher keeps them go go go instead of helping down regulating their nervous system)

It's been the kind of week that ends in me falling asleep in savasana and waking up to a rather loud OOOOOOOMMMMM

Today I gave my yoga students the option to have an extra long savasana, 3 our of 4 said yes (fourth student didn't care one way or another). My rationale being that we have done the summer time change last night, so a bit of extra rest would be welcome.
So I did an XL savasana, with both a guided body scan and a pranayama exercise (mini yoga nidra session) before settling into (gentle music) savasana.
It was a very welcome change in class, it seems :)

I wrote 'steadiness and ease' in my journal in Rishikesh. Running showed me I'd misunderstood the order.
Ease comes after steadiness, not alongside it. The race showed me.
What has living taught you that studying couldn't?

The priceless face on my yoga students when they learn that I too do fall asleep in savasana occasionally 😅

The most important books in my life were never printed on paper.
My grandmother's terrace in Granada. The Göta River at dawn. My mat during savasana.

This morning's yoga class included:
- 5 minutes heart coherence breathing (5,5 breaths per minute, use a track like https://open.spotify.com/track/0ztPS3K6OBrbaQnyGqFLMh?si=7a8e8f2147754176 to guide inhales / exhales)
- modifying class on the fly because someone was still having wrist issues (byebye vinyasas, hello creative stepping backs)
- giving lots of options for poses "chose your own adventure" style.
- a nice 8 minute long savasana with a track that is scientifically proven to reduce anxiety and help relax (https://open.spotify.com/track/6kkwzB6hXLIONkEk9JciA6?si=a6918acf3f6c4b16 ) (*)
And it resulted in a great class, even I felt energized after teaching it!
