Hatha

My brain enjoys having a day off, but I'm not sure my body does.

All day, I was spontaneously stretching my shoulders and hips. Finally, I just unrolled the mat and enjoyed a good half-hour hip-and-shoulder-stretching session. It felt soooo good.

And then I ate a vegan mini-cake!




I love Saturdays! :-)

Astanga

I had an early appointment this morning. I was bull-headed determined to get my practice in though, so I woke up at 5 a.m. That's not too dire, but in order to squeeze in a practice tomorrow, I'll need to be up by 4:00 a.m.

I don't know if this makes me stubborn or crazy. Probably a little bit of both! Sleep is becoming optional.

So I would like to file an Official Complaint: There are not enough hours in the day. I need more. Today was a 17 hour day with two hours of downtime. That's just enough to eat lunch, walk the dog and answer urgent emails.

How did this happen? How did my life get so busy?

Thank God I'm not practising at a shala right now. I would need to forgo sleep all together!

Despite the whirlwind, there was a Big Awesome in my practice this morning. Laghu Vajrasana. I lowered to the floor for five breaths, came back up. Three times! I'm finally getting the hang of it.

Also: Goconut. I start eating this stuff and I. Can't. Stop.
