Today I practiced after three days of ladies holidays plus moon "a la our Shala" (usually a day before the rest of the world, hence there was practice today Friday). I was beginning to lose it without practice, I don't think I could ever stop, which is a good thing.
BF and I have been looking at apartments in NYC. The lease is up, so it was time to look. I was surprised at what we saw, some were very big, but had no light. One of them in particular felt like a country house, with more closets than I could count. But across the street there was a full office building looking right into our living room. Did not like it.
Another one was in a brand new building, The Setai. The real estate person told us that it has won awards, last year The Plaza, this year... them! But the apartments were very dark, and every room had funny corners which any feng sui expert would not want to even look at. On top of things the floor was almost black, how come a designer would put black floors on an already lacking in light sort of room?
In the end we will stay in our apartment, which is sunny, and spacious, no sharp corners, and the floors are light. I am happy, and also quite happy to come back to practice.
Is there a reason why your shala practices moon day a day before the rest of the world? Interesting!
ReplyDeleteI just make my personal moon days. I don't take Ladies Holiday off, though sometimes I need a pms day, since I don't sleep well then. I think Chris isn't doing moon days at Peridance. I'll confirm, but if you want a practice when your shala is closed, you could always drop in. Is only $20.
ReplyDeleteHi Skippetty, I believe there is a whole ritual as of when exactly does the moon happen... and the shala I attend is very particular about it, that is my understanding... :)
ReplyDeleteBoodiba, I wonder how you do it on Ladies Holidays, I just cannot... I welcome the rest so much... interesting that C is not doing moon days now... (although I know you will confirm), and yes it is always a possibility, good idea!
I never seem to need the time off then. When I'm PMSing, I'm always both stiffer & weaker, and I'm DEFINITELY crankier. Once the even commences though I usually have a great practice. First day of is usually awesome. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteI mean "event" not "even".
ReplyDeleteHmm... how interesting, for me it is very different, first day I am in so much pain I cannot think straight, thank God for Advil! and practice is the furtherst thing from my mind... how amazing that for you it is actually awesome
ReplyDeleteI really don't get much cramps at all. Often nothing. Rarely would I ever need to take any advil... It's just not debilitating for me for some reason.
