October Weekend

We just had a sensational weekend with Syl in teacher training. Wow, what some extravagant new learning curves am I having? Even this darn blog thing is one link from obscurity. (That was a nice phrase, maybe we are all just one link from obscurity. A poem there?).

Reflections:

Katie is my hero. She is so insightful and such a wise old soul for 18, almost 19-year old.

Christi and I have lots in common, including fear of the dreaded Syl evaluation. (Which is always Zen anyway).

Frank is worth the price of admission; Every time. Thanks for lunch.

I will forge ahead this week with all my balanced Pitta.

Namaste

Upward Facing

Last weekend at Yoga with Syl, I had a terrifying thought: What if I actually liked myself? For a brief moment in Bodhi Flow, I thought that! Wow! I can attribute such radical thinking to a posture I thought I was doing correctly, or at least to my liking. Whew. What have I started?

Since our weekend blitz, I have come to terms with "my own practice," and those comments about "olence to all at the blended family event last weekend. UVU hasn't fired me yet, and all my students are so nice.

Sat Nomstepping onto the mat." I practiced the Tier I flow series until I think I could do it unassisted. I also revisited seated and standing postures. Now I furtively look around for likely candidates to train in the next three weeks. Such pressure.

Today is Friday. I intended to go to class this morning, but all my muscles ache and I have acquired a bad cold suddenly. I must be doing something right. Or maybe it was that I finally got the toilets cleaned.

I am busy with my jobs. I met a marvelous student last night, and I extended sattvic benevolence to all the extended, blended Celestial family last weekend.

Sat Nom.

Chakras

Tonight is the first night of the second study session at Bodhi Yoga. This will be fun! I have been doing the Chakras video, and I think I am understanding them better. The video is sooo beautiful.
Must watch again.

Beginner's Blog Labor Day 2010

I dreamed up this silly blog name during that la la twilight sleep (of which I am so fond) where everything is a degree or two off. I know I spelled om wrong, but hey, it is all about poetic license, is it not? Speaking of twilight sleep, that is exactly my asana at 8:30 am when yoga classes start. I must address that "edge."

Isn't it just the case that after sitting around all summer wondering how to motivate myself, all of a sudden I am over-motivated by means of two or three ways to make money, plus intense yoga commitment.

I would also like to make this disclaimer: of the new crop of students in teacher training, I am by far the most immature for my age, so let's all lower my standards of performance. In education jargon that would mean I need "accommodations,"--blocks and stuff.

I am new to blogging and will, therefore, stop now to see how this will all work together for the common good. Namaste

PS Posting this way late because I didn't know how to "link." Now I'm linker!
