The word \u201cplay\u201d meaning: \u201cengage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose\u201d. The activity of enjoyment being yoga in my case lets me be in a constant experimental mode with new, old and challenging postures. For me, this is when I get to play! I believe playfulness is crucial in life. If we start getting to serious in how we go about in everyday life we lose sense of allowing us to let go of boundaries. Boundaries do not feed our creativity, and without creativity there will be no innovation in society. So.. something starting only just on your mat can be the beginning of something major.<br \/>\n\/Annie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everyone!
