Saar. 24. Travels. Writes. Does that make her a travel-writer? Not just yet. Loves to bring all her beloved ones, earthly and heavenly creatures, along on her trip. Will try to do so by dropping notes, posting pictures, videos, writing stories. A.k.a.: sharing her experiences. Don't feel like reading from a screen? Just wait for the book to get published! (*Wishful thinking*)
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I’m experimenting a bit with my yoga practice at the moment. I know Bikram is my real thang, but it is good to step out of your ‘comfort’ zone and try new things every now and then. (Like hot meditation, yin yoga or any type of flow.)
So I bought an introductionary pass at the local Moksha yoga studio this week, which I’ll be able to use for one month. I have taken two classes so far, taking it as it is. Trying not to think too much. (Something like: IMISSBIKRAMIMISSBIKRAMIWANTMYBIKRAMIWANTTHAILANDIWANTBIKRAMIWANTWANTWANTIT)
The teacher tonight observed my practice, and commented on it:
‘You’re back is crazy flexible. What you just did there was sort of scary’
(Mind you - I only got in to Cobra!)
It’s okay to have a gentle practice. To listen to your body. To take it as it goes. But that is exactly what I do when I practice Bikram. And it’ll be exactly what I will be doing again, from next month onward ;) But for now, let’s open those hips and continue to focus on my breath. Less cardio, more stretching and relaxation.
