Yoga Journal #34: Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day practice – lots of partner yoga – and so much fun! Really good way to explore different bodies and learning to become mindful of how different every individual is. Had an amazing diner with Warr – he came to visit at the temple and it was so awesome to show him around and have lunch together. Sad he didn’t get to meet Holly – but hopefully he will come again soon!?

He made the most AMAZING parsnip and butternut squash soup -honestly best soup I’ve ever eaten – which feels weird to be praising a soup! So impressed that he even made it veggie – given my recent meat aversion!

He had lit candles all over the house and brought flowers to the centre and tulips at home! I am really so lucky to have him.

Had a few teary/sobbing moments on the couch after dinner (and cupcakes) could be to do with the half a bottle of red wine but I think mainly to do with how scary it is to think about how easy is is to disappear into two separate worlds. Yoga is such a powerful thing and the further into it you go – the further you see how incredible it is – the faster that insignificant relationships start to leave you. Conversations that old friends have start to seem a bit pointless and the lifestyles of other people don’t interest you like they used to. It’s SO scary to think that this could happen within a relationship – and there where does that leave you?

Told this to Warren and my feelings about it – he told me I worry too much. But I also can’t help that I’ve been feeling so strongly about this lately.
