Balancing poses


In yoga the balancing poses are very strengthening for the body and for the mind.

I particularly love the Warrior series, especially now that I am trying to balance myself between two worlds.

I am returning to the practice but not without first paying the price for staying away too long. 
The first week I was so sore I could barely walk. 
But now the strength is returning, and the confidence with it. 
Slowly does it.

In returning to the breath my mind stops worrying about the move, the tons of "stuff" to sort, the bureaucracy, the fear of the unknown, the exhilaration of the adventure.

For now I'll just keep posing and focusing on my breath.
