Day 10 - Retreat Essentials

What happens at a yoga and writing retreat on the one free afternoon?

My roommate, a sophisticated and well-traveled woman, took me on a trip to downtown Taos. We visited both upscale clothing stores and thrift stores, as well as a few art galleries. The cosmopolitan woman, who is well-versed in pacing this kind of exploration, explains that one hour and a half is enough. The body cannot really absorb or appreciate more at one time. She guides us to the patio of The Taos Inn where we settle into the more serious work of Margaritas and Harp Ale.

Yoga-like, we push our limits while taking care not to exceed them. I have been taught:

"Practice today in a way that will allow you to practice again tomorrow."
