Flying

This weekend has been a treat indeed, Flying lessons From Tim Feldman, a Danish Ashtangi, now co-director  of the Miami Life Yoga Center dancer, choreographer, teacher of  yogic flight and pranayama. I mean, the flight of  vinyasa, movement with breath, jumping back, flying through the poses. One of the magical things I love about yoga that in the process of getting to know one self and moving through the layers of our self deeper and deeper, sometimes a sense of liberation," moksha" very suddenly just springs forth. The jumping up and through , floating through  against gravity,is the closest I imagine   I will come to actual flying. It is a lesson , in the possibilities that can exist within ourselves, if we at least try.Much of this like flying experience stems from the  beginnings of the understandings of bhandas and that we are matter  and that energy flows in and through us. How do we harness this energy, what do we do with it when we start to feel it in our soma, in ourselves.I think a regular lifetime practice of all the 8 limbs of yoga can begin to helps us to ask these questions, maybe begin to answer them, but more importantly to feel more alive and in that aliveness consider new possibilities, flight could be possible, but perhaps even self knowledge and using that knowledge to be compassionate, generous,forgiving,flexible and interested in our vast capabilities as humans.
