Two weeks have passed since I taught the first-ever yoga class at Fenway Park, and I still have to remind myself: That Happened. There’s a glow about people who were there when I see them now in yoga, like the look you share with someone when you’re both keeping an amazing secret.
And I can’t help but wonder, as the Red Sox keep picking up momentum at precisely the right time of the season–the playoffs– if we might have been a secret weapon of good karma, having left our positive energy on the field and sent our intentions into the chilly fall air when all was quiet and still in the iconic park. Baseball players can be a superstitious lot, and something tells me the Sox might agree that stranger things have happened. We even did a yogi version of The Wave. I could tell you, but, then, well, you know…
Either way, it was an unforgettable night, for an important cause, in what is home to a very special team this year. I was beyond honored to teach, like a homerun hit beyond the Green Monster by Papi. That much. Thank you to all who came, supported, and shared in the event excitement here and on social media. Thank you to the Red Sox for lending us your field. We took good care of it. Promise.
Arriving at Fenway Park, which rolled out quite a sun streaked welcome.

The reason we were there and biggest MLB charitable organization. I bow to the people who work there, planned this event, and make the community better by helping Boston kids in school and at play.
Meditating in a locker. Obviously.
Making sure the mats work in this yoga studio. Yup… All good!

Chilly but magical.

Good night, Fenway, and GOOD LUCK Red Sox!
