***After my last yoga post, The ever-glowing Heather sent me a really cool Bryan Kest yoga CD...like a month ago. Well last night I finally got around to doing it and was not disappointed. (and p.s. If you click over to Heather, help her out with the restaurant situation!)
From the Kest website:
"In my experience, health is a state of balance brought about by moderation among other things. Moderation is the opposite of being extreme. And happiness is a state of mental balance. Not craving and clinging, but accepting who we are and where we are at, instead of rejecting where we are at in a constant pursuit to get somewhere. Most people bring their craving and clinging mentality into the yoga class, and then the practice is polluted. In yoga class and maybe in life, let the practice be, 'I am not trying to get anywhere, I am trying to make it OK to be where I am at' because I love myself and value my process!!"
***Jessica's letter to her body. Her blog is private, but here is an excerpt:
"I'm proud of you, Body -- and even though I'm overly critical, even though I make stupid decisions sometimes, I'm glad that you're mine. I'm proud of what you've done, and even more proud of what you continue to do -- you run, jump, climb stairs, hike mountains, lift weights, dance like nobody's lookin', and at the end of the day, you are something I'm proud to attach my name to. I've started judging you more by what you are capable of than what you look like, and the instant I started doing that, the rest of it seemed to fall into place. "
