Laboratory mat

Dina's 9am class today was delightful. I worked hard and sweat a lot
but we held each pose long enough to breath in it and focus on
alignment. At one point while we were holding triangle pose, she
encouraged us to picture our mats as a laboratory. I am experimenting
with how I relate to the poses on the mat, and that gives me a clue as
to how I relate to life in my day-to-day. I thought it was a beautiful
idea when she said it, although I can't remember her exact words now.
