The interview that Kimmy Luu did of me has now made it to elephantjournal... kind of exciting having my story move further out into the interwebs... http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/08/yoga-and-aspergers-an-interview-with-lyle-anderson-kimmi-luu/ And a note that I posted on facebook A Yogi Reflects on Authentic, Genuine and Unlearning by Lyle Anderson Authentic and genuine have been 2 words that I have been drawn to a lot in my practice these past couple months. The many times that I have heard something along the lines of don't make the body fit the pose but rather make the pose fit the body is one of the things that couples with this authentic movement. Lately at the end of my class when rousing the practice from Savasana I say 'at your own pace allow any authentic and genuine movement to come to the body' and after a minute I say 'roll to either side into your fetal position, which ever side is the most comfortable' ... I definitely have noticed that there are particular movements people take as a whole that seam to be the preffered rousing from savasana and 99% favor rolling out to the right. I think I want to add the authentic and genuine more often in my practice, really get into that state of being aware of what I feel and what is real and what is not resonating with me at that moment.. and the why.. ------------------------------- Unlearning.. I have never resonated with the saying that we are here on this earth to learn lessons or equating reincarnation/rebirth with having to come back to learn some lesson. What I do believe at this time is that we need to unlearn all those lessons and just be. It seams that a good portion of lessons we go through on this world are not all that great or even lessons that I would wish on my worst friend (I don't knowingly have any enemies and I don't really have a worst friend). I don't think love is lesson. I don't think hope is a lesson. So be filled with love and hope! Namaste.
