There is no better
feeling. No better comfort. You hug, lean your head on her shoulder, and
she pats you on the back. She says over
and over, “Mother knows. It’s going to
be alright.” I hear these words clear as
a bell. When things are not working out
like I plan or things are just out of sorts, I hear her words. I feel her patting my back.
“Well alright…It’s alright” are
the words spoken at the end of each class I teach. When one of my master teachers asked, “Claire, what
do you want to teach?”, my answer was immediate. I want students to learn to capture the
feeling and knowing that all is right in this moment.
It’s through the practice of yoga that we
connect breath and movement, mind and body, heart and spirit, and to that best part
of ourselves. We learn and practice to move and to be
still. It’s within the stillness and
being within the postures that we find this connection to heart and
center. Lingering in the stillness
serves to bring clarity and to our awareness that all is right. It’s all right.
