Energize with Tovah

High on a hill created by lava flow, I took time to do a short practice. The sky was endlessly expensive, the ocean crashing on the shore far below me.  a wild land untouched. Turtles, iguanas, birds, fish of all shapes, and sizes, and me perched high above immersed in an ancient practice from another world.

The north island of New Zealand is scattered with amazing beaches. A beautiful volcanic rock cascades to the waters edge. Lush greenery clings to the cliffs. Everywhere you go, there are friendly dogs awaiting to greet you. I loved doing the short practice with the waves crashing behind me. Just a moment in the day to take for myself. Anytime, any place, we can take a moment to breathe and move.

This spot was my favorite spot in Longyearbyen. It was at the edge of the town where the fjord ran in and the glacier water rushed out. There were rocks, ancient, as the Barnacle Goose and the Arctic Terns made their nests in the loose rubble.

The weather is so changeable here. The sun will shine bright, and then a cloud bank closes around you and the mountains can’t be seen. The temperature drops and the wind picks up.

In this video, you can make out the bright cap of the mountain before the clouds cover it completely and they disappear. It was cold, the wind nipped, and this moment I use to build heat, movement, strength, and stretch to the body. Enjoy this class from the mystical Arctic North.

Longyearbyen is the heart of the Arctic Circle in Norway. Called an Arctic Metropolis, it boasts 2000 year round residents. Allowing people to work with no visas, people flock there from all over the world to create better lives for themselves. Reindeer roam the streets, dog sled is a prime mode of transport, and there is a polar bear safety zone within the city limits. Half the year it is bathed in continual light, half the year cloaked in darkness. The people of the town must depend on one another in this harsh and changeable climate.

As I taught this class in the middle of the town, one can see the friendliness and connectivity of those walking home from a late night out. (The time is after 10pm! Notice the light.) People stop by, wave, and momentarily join in the class. I loved this town and my travels to the Arctic Circle and hope to return one day in the colder months.
