Declare Your Freedom
I had the opportunity to teach a yoga class at this year’s Annual Mensa Gathering in Pittsburgh! It was quite an exciting experience. It’s always such a treat to teach outside of the yoga studio, and it’s also very exciting not knowing who is going to be showing up 🙂
I was thrilled to see a pretty good outcome of between 20-25 people. The majority of them did not have yoga mats and quite a few of them weren’t wearing what we would call ‘yoga clothing’.
You see, none of this matters. The practice can be done anywhere, no props nor specific attire needed!
How Do Your Choices Reflect Optimal Freedom?
This yoga class is what I would call a beginners class. Although one does not need to be a beginner to practice it.
We as practitioners can bring complexity to any class as we choose to step deeper into it’s nuances and continue to make more meaning with every breath and every movement.
Something simple can be ever so fulfilling and can become a gift to all of us who choose to pull the meaning of our hearts into it 😀
Let me know your thoughts! Enjoy the practice!

Very easy and useful yoga postures, can be practiced by even a child… Thanks for the info.
Back to the basics! That’s absolutely fantastic! Time to ‘reconcile’ our practice!
Hi Elsie. I was in this class and was impressed at how you managed with so little space in the room. I was the guy asking about your recorder BTW.
As to to the lack of mats and props, my first yoga teacher said that when yoga began, all you needed was your mind and your body. When yoga came to the West, all these accessories that you needed to buy showed up.
It was cool how the flag happened to be there!
You are welcome @Yoga Pranayama! Lina, so glad to have you swing on by 😉 @Eric How great to have you come on by! It’s so refreshing to be able to practice anywhere. It really shows you how accessible the practice really is.
We do rely a lot on our propage 😉 It’s such a pleasure not to have them around! So wonderful to have had you in class!
Hi Elsie, I really enjoyed this class, the shoulder stretches at the wall are amazing! I feel much more open today. ps, it was great fun to hear my voicemail on your yoga kula podcast! 🙂 much love to you!
When some one searches for his necessary thing, so he/she needs to be available that in detail,
so that thing is maintained over here.
