Turn up the Heat

2012 - 1rst Tuesday Morning HA HA Yogis and Yoginis

January starts with a Bang - temperatures dropped to 46 degrees this morning - woohoo. On this 3rd day of 2012. I get to put on a whole bunch of colorful layers to greet this beautiful day.

I get to test my comittment muscle to show up RAIN or SHINE or VERY COLD for FLORIDA weather. Ha ha ha. I show up and see who else is as courageous as me to get out of bed and meet in the park as the temperature rises slowly to 52. 10 yummy tribe peeps show up to laugh and play. Me and Noah that makes 12 - 12 Ha Ha happy and heeheealthy peeps ready to radiate our enerchi into the world. Woohoo.

We jog and shake and twist to stay warm - it is so invigorating - all this fresh crisp cool air - the Park is truly ours today - the trees swaying - the birds and the squirrels have come out to play.

Today - our Laughter Circle - we play with exercises that turn up the heat. Inside, of course. Heating our core up so we can remove some layers - help Mama Earth warm up.

Thank you SG Julie for HOT SAND HA HA - a tried and true favorite that had been put away in the summer closet. We jump and skip as we remember what it feels like to cross a hot sandy beach to get to the water. And we shake all the way from our thumbs to our wrists and elbows and deep into our bellies - ShaHAhakti ShaHAhake. Woohoo.

We do the Hokey Pokey and play a round of HA HA tag. We keep our bodies moving until the internal motor is cranking on its own - keeping us hot and happy. We shake hands and hug and bang like drums. And shake it all out again.

52 degrees - really? It's hot out here.
