Our teachers are always close if we seek them

This morning, I'm grateful after a weekend of profound learning at a 3-day yin yoga training course, thankful to my friend Trula, who has continuously been leading me toward what I couldn't seem to find on my own.

Listening to Ordinary Elephant (yes, still) on my drives to and from Loomis’ beautiful Santosha Yoga Collective¹, I was moved by the lyrics of “Relic of the Rain.” They speak to me of the blessing of teachers and fellow students and our daily ability to learn something new. 

This morning in the sleepy kitchen
Sunlight was dancing
I was lost in my head
In a crowd of everyone I've never been
Then your laugh cracked a smile across the quiet
I breathed deep and grateful to be reminded
Of everything that has shown up when I can't find it
On my own
