Journal # 5: Personal Practice

Michael-

I’ve been thinking lately about the idea of ‘presentness’.  In my acting work, I am learning that one of the most important things is to be present in the moment and aware of what is going on around you.  When I am at my best, I feel an open, honest connection to the people around me.  I feel that there is a similar sensation in the Yoga practice.  Perhaps it is the personal energy, or the ’embodied’ sense.  I can feel it sometimes when we do the breathing exercises.  I would really like to put together a warm up for myself to use before beginning to do my acting work.  Would you mind helping me with this?  That would be great!

Physically, I am struggling with flexibility, as always.  Sorry about missing class today, I had a flat tire.
