Ok - so i have been here a week nearly and not managed a blog. I could blame the intermittent power (off quite a few times a day and we're pretty reliant on back-up power) or do the right thing and admit to laze!
I have been to Sheshadri 5 days now, and he is fantastic. The adjustments are firm (definitely strong!), but not rough - there is control. My long list of injuries are managing fine, although i think today is the first day that i have not ached. To give you an idea after not doing Kumasana (apart from a few weak attempts) i was in the full pose, which Sheshadri balancing on my back (he gets to practice too), so fear was definitely a factor, and then of course inflexibility didn't help much! Monday to Friday is self-practice - and i would guestimate that at the moment i am being adjusted about every third pose. This is probably because i'm continually misaligned, but heh - i'm enjoying it, so it's all good in the hood.
I've only learnt one word of Kannada which is illa (no!)....and Namasakara (although yes, i did know that before i arrived) this is not good, i will at least learn 'yes' before i go. Trust me however, 'no' comes in pretty handy.
Ok after my massive 'day of rest' dinner i need to do some work work, which seems very distant and unimportant at the moment, but i must i must! Speak soon peeps.

Molly and Dave liked the sound of the massive rest day dinner. They're quite keen to have a sample themselves. I'm afraid they haven't been able to sort out their visa's though.
ReplyDeleteAh, are you ok?! It all sounds very painful and not relaxing at all! Hope you are having fun! Whats the weather like? Is it hot?! You are missing the wonderful November weather (rain!)
ReplyDeleteTake care dude, keep up the blogs! I have just worked out what one is! Excellent!

Hi Emma, great to hear from you. So where exactly is Sheshadri when your doing Supta Kurmasana. I have an image of him standing on your back, surely not! Glad to hear your having a great time, take care of those injuries.

Well Molly and Dave should think about practicing regularly then if they want a 'rest day dinner'....all i've seen them do is a few downward dogs and you know what the old mantra is.....99% practice.....
