I took class with Jerome Mercier this morning. Santa Monica already heated up at 7AM.
His classes are silent, challenging & advanced. For a change, he asked us to move through another vinyasa.
And he said, "Don't dance. Don't flow through it. Keep your awareness, meditate through it".
My first thought, was, "Don't dance? Are you out of your mind? Is there another purpose of human life I'm not aware of?".
And he says, "When you dance, you sometimes enter another realm, and energy moves outwards. You don't disperse your energy. You cultivate it. And then you keep it."
And it just stuck with me.
