The Razor’s Edge

Ashtanga Vinyasa has a razor sharp edge, and when we fall on it, as many of us do, it cuts us to the bone. There are many among us (myself included) who have been drawn to that experience of being cut, opened, exposed. There is a silent exhilaration in that experience, after the practice is done, when the nerves sing, the tissues tingle, and the organs hum.
