Carrying on! March gathering is here!

Well, after a month of looking at the note "write about February Collective gathering" sit on my to-do list the time has come to also write about the March gathering! So, here we go, carrying on as an imperfect being with a long to-do list and feeling perfectly content about it :)

First and foremost, we'll be meeting Monday March 11th in the community living room above Ben's Bikes! As always, we'll meet 6:30-8:30pm and cycle through a led practice, workshop/asana discussion, and some meditation/philosophizing before we dive in to eat some vegetarian potluck goodness! Feel free to come late if needed. I will bring a few extra mats but since we're not yet set up in a permanent space with mats, bring a yoga mat for yourself if you can. Oh, and the organizing principle of our get-together tomorrow will be the second chakra, which is associated with all kinds of fun stuff including the hips, the color orange, sexuality, creativity, and finances!

For our February 2013 gathering we had a lovely rotating cast of participants and workshopped some standing poses like the tricky warrior I which has totally different things going on in each foot. In particular I was inspired to have picked up some useful teaching cues to encourage rooting through the hands and feet.

Well, please let us know if you have anything to contribute or if you have any questions about the mission of the collective! Hope to see you at a future gathering!
