Yoga Journal #63: Doors and Doodles.

Did the ashtanga primary series for yoga today – was really fun – good to try some more challenging postures. I know I need to work a bit on my core strength so it was good to do the 5 Navasana’s plus lifting – what a killer!

The day’s topics were mainly on the business side of yoga. It’s funny because I’ve always just thought that once I had my training, it will all sort of fall into place. But these lectures did make me realise that it’s going to take a bit of hard work and research to make it all happen. In terms of building up a network of yogis who want to practice with you – times that are good, confidence in teaching etc.

Maybe to a certain extent they will fall into place – but maybe there is also a certain degree of graft involved too. like:

The universe will fling the door open wide if you let it – but you’ve gotta climb up the stairs first (often blindly, with no hand rails).

Warr came for lunch today at the centre- loved having him there again. It means to much to me that he comes and gets involved. Introduced him to Holly which was fun.

Had Thai take away for dinner – we ordered some prawn dishes – I had the red prawn curry, then a Tom Yum soup and some Pad Thai. Watched the 100 foot journey – REALLY want to go to India!

Had quite a sore tummy – not sure if it is the onset of the monthlies or if it is the prawns after eating a week of veggie.

Not sure what is happening, with W and I – but am feeling very out of sync. He is so amazing and understanding about everything – am so lucky.
