Hatha

It was so beautiful out today! The forecast was for rain, but by mid-afternoon, it had cleared up completely AND it was 15C out! I took my guitar outside and practised, enjoying the sunshine and the happy people out and about. The whole day felt like a celebration. When it warms up in Canada, people really get excited!

For yoga, I did a simple Hatha practice today with an emphasis on consistent holds. After the first few poses, the longer-than-usual holds actually felt like a treat. I even found myself holding for longer than I had intended. I started with 30 seconds and then moved toward a minute in each pose. Not too long, but long enough to really settle in.

I could feel my mind softening and I was deeply relaxed when I finished.
