Smack dab in the middle of where I’m at
Posted in ashtanga yoga on 09/14/2009 08:58 am by karenNot much to say, but that won’t stop me.
Nice Monday morning practice. Primary, then intermediate to supta vajrasana. Lovely urdhva dhanurasanas, assisted backbends, closing.
This is a really pretty invention, this Ashtanga thing. Most aesthetically appealing.
Things are happening. This is funny to say, obviously, because things are always happening in practice. The body/mind transforms. Right now, though, it seems particularly noticeable. The thoracic area — what a trippy thing. It doesn’t *seem* like it should bend. But it *does*. And it feels really good when it does!

hi Karen

i feel better when i keep doing it. yesterday i didn’t because i tend to take a break on Mondays, and i was moody, sad, all day. today i practiced. my spirits are better. practice gives me a shield for the day.
could we have an update on The Cop?, Nancine?
hugs
