CRAB LEGS 🦀 & CHATURANGAS 🧘🏽: THE PEARL blog
FINDING YOUR FLOW 🌊
I was first introduced to yoga in high school through the 90s sitcom Dharma & Greg. Dharma, the free-spirited, quirky yoga teacher, embodied the 'yoga person' stereotype - zen, laid-back, and a bit unconventional. Back then, yoga seemed like something only hippies or eccentric types did, but I was intrigued. As a budding theatre geek and aspiring New Yorker, I was psyched the day my gym teacher turned out the lights and popped in a yoga video and I got to be like Dharma. I remember watching and clumsily following the moves of a group of women in sky-blue leotards as they practiced on sand dunes. I think we need to start bringing those French-cut leotards back 🤔
THE ART OF LETTING GO
I have so much energy and I have to tell myself to calm down. Breath in and out. Slowly. My mind is racing, thinking about all the emails I have to send, this itch on my leg, the sun is hitting my eyes, it’s hot. Then they start the yoga and they tell you to go into downward dog and I always think it’s too soon.
