In last night’s yoga class we did the humming breath to start.  You do a regular inhale and then when you exhale you find a nice low note that rumbles around in your chest and belly.  The sound is supposed to dislodge blocked energy and all that.  I love the feeling of  the reverberations in my torso after I’ve stopped.  Last night in the class we were breathing in unison and our hums were in harmony.   We sounded like a choir that had forgotten the words.

After class I spoke to someone who is taking my class as well as another during the week.  She said she was telling her massage therapist that the other class is more strenuous than mine.  They do full Sun Salutations and challenging poses that exhaust people by the end of class but it doesn’t make her break a sweat.  

She said my class is more easy going but she sweats like crazy.  Her massage therapist said that she sweats in my class because it’s ”real yoga”.  I don’t really know what that means but I said thanks.  I also said, “maybe my room is hotter”.
