Yoga en casa

Yesterday I responded to a flyer advertising a free yoga class in the building where we are renting a condo in Miami Beach. I was surprised to see a dozen residents gathered there for a practice with Lovey, a longtime experienced teacher who led us through a soothing and mindful practice. About half the class was older women and one older man, the rest much younger. One athletic-looking young man clearly had a well-established yoga practice. It was fun to practice behind him and watch his well-toned body move gracefully through the poses.

Near the end of the class, she offered some advanced poses for those who chose to participate, about half of the class, plus a few minutes for us to add any poses we chose. Several people chose to add a headstand. Lovey's soothing voice guided us into a meditative savasana to end the class. I was pleased to discover this group where I could meet a few people in the building, especially those interested in praticing yoga.
