ONE POSE AT A TIME “Do one thing at a time, and while doing it put your whole soul into it to the exclusion of all else.”— Swami Vivekananda  (This week's newsletter was composed by our dynamic on-demand teacher and full time writer Elinor Cohen. Check out her Instagram HERE and her amazingly empowering advanced & intermediate sessions on our on-demand archives.)
Several weeks ago, I taught a class before which a student came up to me and warned, “Elinor, I may leave early. It’s not because I have to but I just might get overheated or overwhelmed and feel like I have to leave. I’m just telling you now because I want you to know it’s not you.” I said, “Okay. That’s perfectly fine. I feel like that sometimes too - like committing to the whole class is just too much. But what if you don’t decide to leave early now. I’m not saying you can’t; you absolutely can if you feel you need or want to. But if you feel like that, I’m going challenge you to stay. How about this: how about you take it one pose at a time? You don’t have to commit to it all. Just one pose at a time.” She said that seemed like a good idea and agreed to do just that. I’ve known this student for years. I’ve seen her practice grow tremendously. She’s an advanced practitioner and she knows her limits. And I know she wanted to be in class, but the idea of committing to 60 minutes of strenuous, powerful movement is intimidating whether it’s your first or five hundredth class. Sometimes the idea of committing to anything for more than a few minutes feels insurmountable. But what if we step back and take it one pose at a time? Kali mudra, the inspiration for that class’s sequence, comes from the goddess Kali, who teaches us to remove negative blockages and step into our power. The way we do that is one pose at a time. One breath at a time. The student stayed for the entirety of the practice and walked out with a smiling face of accomplishment. She said ,”I’m glad I spoke to you before class. And I’m glad I stayed.” It’s not about finishing the class, which this student knew… which we all know. It’s about trusting yourself to step into your power, one pose at a time.
