Distractions*



















One of the ideas behind yoga is to develop focus and concentration and to disengage from distractions, especially while on the mat. Well, it's kind of hard to do that when what's distracting you plops herself right down on your mat along with the paper ball that you are trying to use to distract her from distracting you. This is what I found three times while trying to do some sun salutations. I'd be in a forward bend getting ready to step back into a lunge but would have lunged into a pile of cat.

But that's ok, because ultimately yoga is all about being present in the moment and it doesn't get any more present than this.
