Yoga Journal #24: Softness, openness, forgiveness.

Did a bit of reading in bed – slept badly last night – woke up and went to do a bit of home yoga – enjoyed it but morning practice is much more relaxed for me at home in the mornings – although I am still able to have a really strong yoga session when we are at training – but training starts much later than 6am though!

Felt productive today – ordered another year subscription to headspace – prompted by the feeling grumpy last night. Did 15 mins headspace this morning.

Got message from Warr to apologise and also flowers when I got home – am very lucky to be me. And even more lucky to have him.

Went to a studio for evening yoga practice – loved it!

Things I liked about the class:

• Slow, calm steady instructions and didn’t just use pose names.
• Loved the Savasana at the end – gave us a story about walking her brothers dog in Australia – dog with a stick in his mouth – running on the beach, swimming, being happy and how she learnt so much from the dog – living, breathing yoga. Living in the present moment – being connected to this moment and just being joyful in this space/in the now

“in our modern lives we lived so closed, closed in our bodies and in our minds Closed in our hearts. Lying in Savasana you can feel the space that you have created in your body, that lightness, that expansion. Yoga gives us that opportunity to open, to expand, to create space in our bodies that we can fill with love. When those places inside us are so filled with love – there is not room for hatred,  jealousy,  ego. Only love”

Had lentil soup for dinner – husband said he really liked it.
