From the Healthy, Happy, Hips workshop yesterday..... The hips represent "thrusting forward" in life. So hip problems could be a result of fear of change or moving forward. Because in yoga we often cultivate the opposite wing, we used the word "allow" as our mantra for the class. Ended the workshop with this poem by Donna Faulds: Allow There is no controlling life. Try corralling a lightning bolt, containing a tornado. Dam a stream, and it will create a new channel. Resist, and the tide will sweep you off your feet. Allow, and grace will carry you to higher ground. The only safety lies in letting it all in- the wild with the weak; fear, fantasies, failures and success. When loss rips off the doors of the heart, or sadness veils your vision with despair, practice becomes simply bearing the truth. In the choice to let go of your known way of being, the whole world is revealed to your new eyes.
