I must start posting about my daily practice. It's so little these days, and not worth opening this blog tho. I've been particularly tight in the hamstrings lately, whats up with that? It might be because the whole family is home since it's summer vacation and the normally quiet nobody is home but me is now a sweet memory.

Tonights class was good. No talking at all for the first 50 mins or so. Straight flow, the room was hot, the pace slow. Mixed crowd again, 2 beginners and 2 with much more experience and flexibility. I did the whole class with them, which for me helps me to not talk. Did pranayama, which I don't often do in class. Meditation yes, but 4.2.4.2 breath no.

We did Kurmasana tonight, something I don't often put them thru. They liked it. Also, did a couple of arm balances, which they really liked.

Second class, no students and I keep wondering how long they're going to pay me to sit in a room (practicing my own practice) without students. I'm ok with it, I can stay the entire hour or I can leave after 15 mins. Either way I get paid. I do like having that second hour to do yoga. I get a full 2 1/2 hours of yoga (if I do my own class and then do a practice at the gym). Normally I don't really get a real practice when I'm teaching but I do get some bliss depending on how the class dynamics are at the time.

Hey, and my left shoulder/elbow is feeling better, it's feeling like it's healing bit by bit.
