Current date is 24th March) Week was filled with anatomy “learning” (which mainly means sprawled on a yoga mat with paper everywhere and drinking too much coffee, whilst checking instagram. Should probably…

Yoga Journal #65: I am enough.

Did the exam sequence this morn – got two postures mixed up and forgot Badakonasana – but timing was good! Did a full set of Kriyas this morning as well. And a little bit of Pranayama at the end. Although it feels pretty indulgent since the “outcomes” of it aren’t as clearly visible as say…

Yoga Journal #62: Beautiful Subtleties.

Had such an amazing thing today in asana. During Purvottanasana – I had my head tipped back and had my drishti to the third eye and I began to notice the imbalance in the strength of each of my eyes – how my focus was more dominant on one side than the other. It has…

Yoga Journal #61: Pushing, with softness.

Woke up early – didn’t do home practice because of yoga in the evening. Did quite a bit of anatomy learning and feeling calm about it all rather than I think lots of people are feeling quite stressed about it all. I guess I’m just SOOO interested in this stuff that it’s not about learning…

Woke up early again – decided to do yoga at a studio – to also kind of build up a bit of rapport with the studio owners. Was a good class – getting into the hip flexors and lots of balances which is what I need! I think it’s quite good though to have a…

Yoga Journal #57: Giant candles

Rest day from Yoga – body probably needed it – woke up late too – probably just tired! Had a few different projects to work on, started writing/finishing my observations – want to get those finished now! Wasted quite a bit of time being useless on social media. Probably due to lack of yoga this…

Today’s yoga was a restorative yoga session to balance out yesterday’s power yoga – much needed! Absolutely loved it – way more than I thought I would – did the whole thing with basically my eyes closed! Savasana was SO good and SO deep at the end! Maybe I’m just really into Savasana these days?!…
