"Every cubic inch of space is a miracle." -Walt Whitman

"The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors, who...looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space at full speed, above all obstacles, on the infinite highway of the air."
-Wilbur Wright

I don’t know about you but there are often times when I feel as if I am scheduled within an inch of my life! In our culture, being “busy” is often regarded as being important, efficient and in demand. We fill our lives with so much minutiae that there is little space for that something amazing that just might be waiting on the periphery to slip in.

Even in our asana practice, our shoulders tend to hunch over, our bellies hang in the way of our breath and we shorten our stance leaving little room for the freedom to explore, embellish and enjoy the possibilities of the pose.

This week, we will focus on creating space in life and in our poses. Let’s work toward opening our hearts so that we can let the infinite light that shines in each of us shine out to others. Similarly, let us find space so that we can be receptive to the beauty and joy that others can share.

"Between stimulus and response, there is a speace. In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom."
-Viktor Frankl
