You can break down this stuff three ways: work, play, and deliberate practice. For my dear friend @livelyogini & I, we wanted to take some of the time we've spent with deliberate practice of the Ashtanga methods D.C. and utilize its skills differently, in a form of play.
@antoninaletunovskaya gave us a contortion/acrobatic private, and we got to P L A Y-- and it was SO MUCH FUN. As a student of integrative studies at George Mason, I developed a taste for knitting together and leaning into different and often disparate fields of study and especially their experts.
It was such a great experience-- Antonia is an absolute gem. At 29 and 34, Maggie and I get to say we did something we've never done. Luckily, as teachers of Ashtanga Yoga, we're in the business of believing the impossible is possible.
Fun is fun, and play is play. Good practice requires deliberate attention.
Let your practice let you play!
