Listen to the silence...

Few things feel better than being the first person to show up for a yoga class.  No one is there.  Often, no music is on.  There is this pure, simple silence in the empty space.  You have time to put down your mat, settle in, and enjoy that sweet silence before one's fellow yogis start to enter and fill the space.  Their energy is always welcome, creating the buzz and focus for the upcoming class.  But sometimes, when you're lucky enough to show up first... the space is yours and yours alone.
