I just came home from an Elephant Power Jivamukti Workshop at Samadhi Yoga with the gorgeous Sarah Trestrail this evening, and this is exactly what I needed. I was thinking that this is exactly what all my friends who are going through a tough time right now needed too. A bit of clarity when the dark wall comes up before us and we can't see beyond it. With a bit of effort, we can pass right through it.
I've mentioned Ganesha before and Ganesha is the personification of everything that is an obstacle in our lives. Dedicating my practice to Ganesha and asking for the strength to get past those obstacles is empowering. You start to delve deeper into the why those obstacles present themselves. I used to think I just had physical blockages (just not flexible etc) but there's a whole lot of psychological stuff going on inside too that stops me from taking my physical practice further. It can be really confronting but at the same time cathartic. I've been known to cry on my mat in the past and feel physically drained but tonight was all about Elephant Power, being empowered to take on the obstacles straight on and just do it.

Sarah played some tracks from MC Yogi tonight that got us in the groove. I was trying to find a clip for Ganesh is Fresh but could only find Chakra Beatbox. MC Yogi is kinda cool, in a yogi practice kind of way.
