Life is a series of stages and transitions, a holding on… and a letting go…
a vinyasa, a flow.
Hands closed, hands opened.
We breathe, we move–on and off the mat.
All the while held and guided by the life force, the supreme Shakti.
“Leap, and the net will appear!”*
But don’t forget to breathe…
We laugh and smile, and cry and be sad…
We leap and let go!…
And, my dear friends, let’s not forget to breath!
