The reason I love the studio's back corner has nothing to do with distance from the teacher or the mirror.
It has to do with an extrasensory connection that happens only in that particular spot in the room. To use language parlayed in alternative healing circles, that spot has "earth energy". People who practice in that corner know what I'm talking about.
In this corner, I dissolve, ameba-like, into Child's Pose. Breathing into this primal position, my olfactory senses engaging with the studio's downstairs neighbor, enlivening and deepening the day's yoga practice through the much-loved aroma of Starbucks French Roast Coffee.
