So the above is the synopsis of my life currently. Things are pretty dharma packed these days between the self-mastery groups I am running at juvie and yoga school.
The groups are going very well. The kids seem to really enjoy yoga and meditation. I try to keep the meditation pretty basic with insight meditation and lovingkindness meditation. I try to make the yoga challenging because adolescent boys love to test their mettle...so it is all good.
I have found that it is so much easier to get the kids to sit down and talk after we work on self mastery for about fifteen to thirty minutes.
School is alot of fun and very challenging...the reading material is great. I highly recommend
"Mindfulness Yoga" to everyone. The author does an excellent job of presenting the yogic roots of Buddhism (the Buddha was a Yogi after all)and the current practice of Buddhist yoga. It is a really good read.
I think that we are probably going to have to throw a party so that I can see all of my friends again. Though I keep meaning to hang out with people on Saturdays all I can seem to manage is laying around in bed and groaning about my muscles being sore.
