Couldnt wait to start practice this morning, was keen to get on my mat and work through my emotions. Tossed and turned from 3am…mind too busy. Astanga has a magic of getting you completely present in your body. Sometimes my body cries out on the mat….why am i here i cant wait for the finishing sequence…which for me is the reward for practice, I had my moments of that today but had my extreme highs as well. Like when Michael adjusted me in Supta Kurmasana and got me so flat and when he took me back to drop back, which i havent done since my shoulder injury and i felt amazing. Then a beautiful squash from Coco.
Battled with meditation again, need to learn the discipline of sitting still…
Before class Minnar gave us a beautiful demonstration..
We then had more adjustment class, learnt more cool stuff and cant wait to share it back home…
Practice,practice,practice….
After lunch everyone was distracted, we were going to meditate but went over the class schedule for the next phase as tomorrow isnt a full day, we will of course have mysore and meditation and more adjustment practice.
Tomorrow night we are all going into the jungle to experience Temazcal….which is a traditional cleansing cermony.
A sweat lodge, i am nervous an excited but mainly intruiged. The ceremony continues till 11pm or midnight, so we have a days rest on Saturday…..I will be telling you guys all about it.
Namaste
