It’s always fun when Amy drops in on one of my advanced studies classes. This time, it was in response to the provocative question “is breathing an asana? It sparked a very interesting exchange. Enjoy!

Do NOT tag Lydia Mann in a post or story or you may be #hacked. So sorry for the well-intentioned but wrong-headed attempt to spread the word.

It’s a rare individual who might ask for a dissection lab workshop as a holiday gift. If you’re one of those rare few (yoga educators, movement or fitness professionals, bodywork & massage therapists, or artists) who have always wanted to deepen your understanding of human #anatomy in a hands-on cadaver #dissection lab, now’s the time to put our @KNMLabs March 2022 #MovementAnatomy workshop on your holiday wishlist!
Only 9 spots left and the link is here: https://KNMLabs.com
Wishing you a happy holiday season from Leslie Kaminoff, Lauri Nemetz, and me!

What a rich discussion! One thing that caught my attention was the apparent equation of “habitual” with “unconscious.” I am not sure that this is fair to habit. It seems to me that I can do something habitually with consciousness (or should this word be awareness?) or without it. One could say that the dialogue between Leslie and Amy has taken an habitual shape (let’s call it, “amiable adversaries have a chat” ), but, within that container, it certainly does not seem to lack awareness. I can brush my teeth either lost in thought or with attention, but I do still have the habit of brushing my teeth. And as I wrote this, I almost used “asana” as the example, instead of brushing my teeth, but then assumed Leslie would nail me: no consciousness, no asana, no matter how habitually we take to the mat.
And now for some stilling of the fluctuations of the mind! Namaste!
