Day 18: enjoy

I didn't eat well today, but still had a great practice. Audrey taught--she is an incredible teacher. It also helped that Camille was practicing right next to me so I couldn't slack off! Didn't need to rest out any poses. I don't think any of the other 17 students did, either--rah! I was at meditation classes with Yangsi Rinpoche all day, so I have a feeling listening to the dharma and meditating had a positive effect on my yoga practice as well. I got an incredible feeling from some deep breaths in the mid-series Savasana today. I'll have to work on this some more. There are very few poses in the series anymore that I'm dreading and resisting. The ones I used to hate are all my favorites now.

Before class, Audrey told me she'd heard about me going to training. She sounded happy, interested, supportive. I'm kind of wary that maybe the teachers might feel I'm on their turf (which they shouldn't--I won't be certified in the Bikram series so won't be teaching at my "home" studio often, at least at first) but I haven't gotten that response at all. Yoga teachers seem in the main to be lovely people!

I've perhaps been lax at writing it, but this hot yoga is GREAT STUFF! I feel FANTASTIC!!

I should let you know--jury duty strikes tomorrow for a minimum of two days, so if I am late posting, that's why. It lasts til 4 and it's downtown so I'm trying out a new studio. And taking the bus! So keep your fingers crossed for me.
