Springtime. In yogateacherland that means detoxes. Twist. The liver is on the right side of your body. Or is that correct? Maybe it is the left. Either way, cross that right leg over your left leg. Settle those seatbones on your mat. You can put your left leg out straight if you need to. Now, right arm out behind you- straight spine - left elbow to the outside of your right knee.

And twist.

With each breath drawing in and up, rotating towards the back of the room, towards the other side. All those dark wintery things that have been building up inside of you are coming out now. Did you know that. Things in your body are activating. Mobilizing. Moving out. So be sure to drink plenty of water now, because you know, they might not all be good things.

Toxins. And twist.

Spring is for detoxing. Spring cleaning of your body, can you do that just by twisting your body into shapes at six thirty in the morning? There aren't many of us here. It's hard work for your brain to get out of bed in the dark, even if you have all your stuff laid out and ready and your mat by the door. But the rest of the day, having that high, it's worth it. You just have to find ways to make yourself remember. The good parts. OM three times and feel your spine. You are here, doing stuff. Doesn't that feel like something? Even if you do nothing else today, at least you mobilized those toxins.
