This morning Sarawatti got me to get the hands through the lotus legs in Garba Pindasana, wedding and engaging ring and all, and with no water sprayed on them... A first. She also rolled me around and I am pretty sure there is a picture or a video of it, hope it does not make it to the Facebook. I was just not sweaty enough and I thought I would get away with just rolling with free hands. Not the case.
Back home I realize it is the rest time of the month for me. No wonder I have little ideas for blog posts. In a way it is good it came right around now so I can rest today and tomorrow and be back to the shala on Thursday.
Sharath's mini-conference today took us through another reminder (yesterday it was about the importance of practice). He seems to just be telling us highlights of what is important to keep in mind.
The reminder today went through how yoga is ancient and how it is important to practice and how it is important to do so every day and for a long period of time.
Every time he talks about this I wonder if he means me. I do practice everyday! I fear my very slow progress in asana maybe the reason why the reminder comes through. Doubt it though. He was addressing over 40 people. I know, just paranoid, will keep practicing.

oh, thank you for this post - it comes as a great encouragement ;-) i've been struggling to keep it up since the new year ;-(
ReplyDeletei am sure sharath did not mean you - you are probably one of the most dedicated and passionate people out there! but i do have a feeling he spoke to people like me ;-( through you ;-)
have a good rest ~ ivana
Hi Ivana, that is sweet of you to say, funny how we think it is about us, when he is really speaking in general, makes me feel supported that I am not alone in the self blaming. But you are right it is a good reminder! and maybe it serves as a renewal for our commitments to the practice! Thanks, I sure am enjoying the LH break!
