Let's also discuss the new title of the blog. This was something one of my yoga teachers said once, so I suppose I should give her credit, but I prefer to leave it as an anonymous gift from the yoga community. All of you out there without a zen bone in your body, shut your mouth for a minute and just listen. There are an amazing amount of metaphors in yoga that can be applied to the rest of your life. This quote and another good one, "find somewhere to let go," (used when you're trying with all your might to hold some difficult pose and your whole face has contorted to show misery, when you actually chose to come to class) are particularly symbolic to me because they are great reminders that you can't take everything seriously all the time. Sometimes you just gotta say screw it and move on. I'm not saying you walk around without trying to build on the things you've been working on. You won't be able to do that even if you tried, because everything you do contributes to the foundation that makes you who you are. The point is to walk around with a fresh face and an open mind and heart and see what you can let in when you're open. If you're carrying around all the mistakes from your past, you're not being open. So forget them, let go, and find something mumtaz.
