Day 27: [...]

Well, words fail me. (Quiet there, peanut gallery!) However, I had a very good practice. As it was Tuesday, I was once again at the Fremont studio. For the record, there was less drinking and fidgeting during this class. Possibly because it was relatively sparsely attended. But there was still some. Anyway, a strong practice and I felt GREAT afterward.

I forgot to mention that yesterday for the first time I got my legs ALL the way down on the floor in Separate Leg Stretching aka Final Stretching. Huzzah! Of course, today I did not get my legs down on the floor. Because, as my teachers all tell me, our bodies are different each day. Even from one set to the next. For example, today on the left leg in Toe Stand, I had the best balance I've ever had in that pose. I was very still and focused and GROWING out of my hips up my spine, and even started thinking about lifting my fingertips up off the floor. On the right leg, I weebled and wobbled all over the place throughout the pose. So there you go.

As I was leaving, the instructor, Robert, said I was doing "really, really good." That was nice to hear. I definitely notice that it's a lot easier to sit in meditation posture at the dharma center after I've practiced!

Krista is giving me two classes to teach in May! The first one is May 13. I'm getting really excited about it, but I'm nervous, too. But more excited! I asked MSH if he will attend the class I teach, but he said he would be so nervous for me he wouldn't be able to practice! My delicate flower.
