Class was crowded but enjoyable tonight. We focused on the first of the Anusara Universal Principles of Alignment, opening to grace. It's always helpful to revisit the basics on a regular basis.

The best part of the night was after class when a fellow student, who recently began attending the more advanced classes and with whom I've became friendly, approached me and said, "you're totally ready for the expanding class." (Expanding is the next level of the Anusara syllabus, more advanced than Basics, which is where I've been since taking up yoga a little more than a month ago) He went on to say that I have grasp of the flow of the practice.

This other student was telling me last night that he had just started going to a couple of the Expanding classes and the pace was more intense but worth it. I wasn't (and am still not) sure about making the leap, but it was definitely quite a compliment and I take it as such. It really made my night.

So maybe I'll take my first Expanding class as a way to celebrate finishing the maha.
