I'm Back!
Not bad. . . At this rate I'll have one post per month if I am lucky. I just can't seem to find the time to write about my daily experiences. I find summer leaves me feeling dizzy with everything and nothing to do. Between motherhood, practice and life, I find it hard to find the minutes I need to compose my thoughts.
Teacher training in Encinitas was amazing . . . life changing, really! It's hard to verbalize the sum of my experience. All I know is that I cannot wait to go back. My husband and I are planning a trip there in the Fall. He's actually going to be taking his first yoga class ever from Tim. I can't wait to see how that goes. Of course, I'll be learning to surf. (That was part of the bargain).
I truly would love to move to Encinitas. It is the first place that I have ever been to that really felt like home and I don't mean just the yoga experience. Simply driving around I felt like I was home. I know that doesn't quite explain the feeling I had. Call it intuition or wishful thinking, it doesn't really matter. I just know I loved every minute of it. As my teacher put it, I had a great "yoga vacation". It's a lot easier to do your practice without life getting in the way. In Encinitas, I had no children to carry around, no one to be responsible for, no stress. I was able to just enjoy my whole experience. It was truly awesome.
However, after 14 days of more yoga than more body was used to, when I returned home to my daily mysore practice, I was really stiff. In fact, it took me 5 days to do my whole practice which consists of the primary series and pasasana courtesy of Tim. (My teacher is authorized, not certified, so he cannot give out second series postures yet - he's working the 3rd series and will be certified upon completion of it) It was a really odd experience for me to be stiff. I should say locked up because that's how my body felt, locked. I am hyper flexible and this was my first experience with such stiffness. I know you are all crying for me! :)
Have no fear though, today was a good practice. All the stiffness has subsided. Now, if only my back would finish all this opening it has been working on then I would really be stellar!
