Last weekend I taught an intensive workshop at my beloved Imagine Yoga Studio, my home studio in Oregon. I was amazed to feel the wonderful and powerful energy of the group moving freely with music. It's very sweet to reconnect with dance now that I'm 60. Dancing just for oneself and the gods is such a blessing!
Read this magnificent poem by Hafiz:
The Sacred Dance for Life
by Hafiz
I sometimes forget that
I was created for joy
My mind is too busy
My heart is too heavy
Heavy for me to remember
that I have been
called to dance
the sacred dance for life
I was created to smile
to love
to be lifted up
and lift others up
O sacred one
Untangle my feet
from all that ensnares
Free my soul
That we might
Dance
and that our dancing
might be contagious.
