I have managed to incorporate all of my usual daily toolkit (asanas, stretching, dance, breath, exercise, DM) into a simple full body twenty minute routine. I still do them, this routine represents them, it’s simply balancing on one foot while listening to kirtan, with a gently engaged core and erect spine. By allowing the music and body to meld and the mind to surrender control, the moments unfold in amazing ways.
The balancing foot is free to be, the body moves in flow, or holds a pose. When I lose balance but want to stay I tap the toe and resume, no one here but me. The standing leg will tire and the music carries me into a sway in transition to the other side.
This body is awakened for the day, the mind quiet the shushumna open, ready for whatever unfolds, full of the fruits of years of yoga practices that hope to find knowing.
