A pain in the skull

So I was moving quickly from unshowered to showered to kissing baby to feeling guilty that I’m leaving at all, to the car to Connecticut Avenue where I hit a wall of traffic at 10:02 am. I was already late for the yoga class I take on Wednesday mornings, with this woman who should have droves of people studying with her, and I suddenly realized that it was more yogic to slow down and not go to class.

Before I realized all the other things I could fill with my time, e.g., post this blog, return some overdue calls and emails, and spend some quiet time alone thinking about the move Boundless is about to make, I felt a release of tension in the back of my skull. My whole body felt so much better at the decision not to race into class — to hurry up and relax, of all things. I also felt both my eyes relax back into the head, and, of course, those lovely “should”-ers, the shoulders, soften.

Of course it’s possibly a bad business decision to post this fact on my business’s website, but sometimes going to yoga class is less yogic than going to yoga class. The body never lies, so check in always and it will tell you the truth.
