Here's Alli in Natarajasana in front of the Sacred Mountain. On the plane ride home, Alli and I discovered we had the same birthday. I think we've bonded. This year was my eighth yoga retreat in Taos, they have all been wonderful and they all have been different. My analogy for this trip is based on the last piano we finished at the shop. It was a Steinert A, a wee 5 foot piano. We all loved it, one of our favorite restorations. It was sweet sounding. Not the power of a Steinway B at seven feet, but sometimes you don't need or want that.
The aspens were giving us a show, the cottonwoods not yet peaked.
We visited my favorite Taos photographer Geraint Smith at his gallery in Arroyo Seco.
There is something about the sky in Taos that surrounds you. I feel like I have my arms outstretched as far as I can reach just trying to take it in. And you add the the clear light and the storm clouds and I kept trying to breath in deeply, inhale it into my mind to bring out when I need it.
The food and friendship were wonderful, the time passed too quickly. I am ready to put it on my calendar for next October. Namaste.
We definitely bonded :) So happy to carry your light and friendship home in my heart. Best kind of trip souvenir! xoxo Ali
