Greetings - Evidently it is National Yoga Day today so I went to a free class that a local studio was having. I didn't tie up my hair and it felt great hanging on my shoulders and basically flowing with each move. There were about 15 of us; 12 women and 3 men. One of the guys was a longhair too, the other much older guy had short hair and was sporting a nice white beard. Everyone seemed pretty mellow. (Do people still use that word?) I have always found that environments like this, such as centers for the healing arts, massage, etc. are pretty longhair friendly.
I haven't done yoga in awhile and I really enjoyed it. I defineately felt "centered" and calm and at peace with myself and with mother earth. (sorry, I couldn't resist that last one! Ha) But seriously, it is yet one more example of how we all express ourselves, and experience who we are, in ways that feel right to us. Having long hair is one of those expressions. Doing YOGA today WITH longhair was the best of both worlds! And I can guarantee that doing YOGA with SHORTHAIR would have been far less spiritual. (for me anyway) Namaste - Bruce'ster
