Day 1

Thank you all for our first workout! Today we learned a breathing and stretching routine that we will continue as the opening section of our daily Storytelling Gym. This consisted of some standing stretches combined with deep breathing and a variation of the yoga "Sun Salutation."  The variation I shared today is closest to the Hattha Sun Salutation B

Here is a link to more information about this sequence.

We discussed the tension existing between art and business. As Buckminster Fuller said, "you must decide whether you are trying to make money or make sense, as they are mutually exclusive." here is a link to this morning's story on npr that I referenced:
