Shelby (5th one in) has been coming to class all summer. She always has a smile on her face, she asks amazing questions and you can feel her full devotion and presence to her practice. Yesterday she brought half of Ocean City High School with her to class (well, 7 of them...), for their first ever yoga experience. I had to tell the boys a few times to quiet down with the chatter, but they were GREAT. They were present, and giving their all to their practice. I was so grateful to have you youngn's in the studio and I am so grateful to share my passion with such an open and attentive audience. The theme and dharma talk of yesterdays class was about being YOU, authentic YOU, no matter how much people try to change that. It was something that resonated with them, and I was glad to hear the feedback through the grapevine later in the day....
"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you like everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle that any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." -ee cummings
