Hello from the 'Sore

Happy Tuesday evening, perhaps morning or afternoon!

I have been a bit slack on the blog as of recent as I've had an uber busy couple days in the Sore! Practice has been intense, massage busy, working on website, photos, reading....filling the days but they seem to go by so quickly!

On Sunday led second was really wonderful - hard, but a good hard...I spent the afternoon with Kumar in an energy healing session, which was way more intense than I imagined it would be - all good but the effects of the session have been increasing with each passing day. After my session with Kumar I headed off to conference, which is always a pleasure - Sharath had a lot of insightful things to share - the message that hit home for me the most was that we must surrender in order to grow - couldn't have said it better!

Yesterday I had the most amazing practice I've had in years! Seriously! Think a combination of reasons - resonance with Sharath's words during conference, the session with Kumar, a good night's sleep.....It was incredible! Noteworthy above all was shavasana - and not because it was shavasana, but because I was able to use some of the relaxation techniques I learned in my session with Kumar to allow my body to completely relax during shavasana - something that normally DOESN'T happen to me! The rest of the day followed suit to my practice - totally enjoyable, full of surrender and relaxation and fulfillment and productivity. Did some emails, had a lovely breakfast at Tina's, biked into and around the city with Laura, gave a massage, did some errands in the city, and then had a delightful dinner with Laura and Clara - an all around perfect day if there ever was such a thing!

Today.....oh today is such a different story. I've been getting really dizzy in practice the last few weeks, some days better than others. Today I felt dizzy all practice and couldn't get focused on 'the practice' at all b/c i was too concerned with not fainting and falling over onto someone next to me. It was really odd and extremely uncomfortable - one of those days where I felt like all I could do was focus on getting to the end of it....And after practice I came home to a two hour arguement with Kwang - a healthy one - a long overdue one - but an arguement nonetheless...We haven't argued in a very very long time, and for those of you who know us, that is not like us not to argue at least once every two weeks or so - both so firey and open about our feelings and all...was really good for both of us to get things off our chest - and it doesn't help that we miss each other terribly and want to see each other...
You know it seems so amazing to me how your practice mirrors your life and vice versa - ah this incredible yoga - I can't imagine my life without it. Even days like today make me so grateful to be lucky enough to have found this practice this lifetime - such an amazing teacher!

Wish you all a wonderful day wherever you are - and remember to get on your mat!
