"Hump Day Wednesday" is my favourite day of the week, as it is when I am free from teaching. The tables are turned as I put on a student's cap and practically spend hours of dynamic playtime on my yoga mat, punctuated with delicious, longer-held Yin poses and Savasana.
It is the day where I refrain from glancing at the clock, the moment I step onto my mat. There is no need to rush, no agenda, no deadlines.
It is my precious 'me time' and an opportunity to stop obsessing about the results of my practice and quit trying to obtain the 'final pose'.
It is at times like these that I find myself listening more intently to my body signaling to me that it is ready for more, or that is has had enough.
With the sweat that pours down, my layers of self-expectations are shed, as I open myself up to new possibilities.
It is when I cultivate nothingness, yet remain in a constant state of content, ease and balance.
Today is the day I chose Me.
Ever had such a day?
