Today was a mediocre practice, but i was there! My AC ligament felt a little tender, so i didn't go too crazy and felt pretty far away from full kumasana again. Sheshadri and Harish didn't adjust me in it (either they were too busy, or i like to think that they realised my leg couldn't hack the pace!). By the way Helen, i heard he was balancing but all i could see was a bit of marble flooring at the time! I've seen him do mayurasana on someone in paschimottanasana. For those of you wondering what the hell i'm on about, kumasana is to the left.
I did have a new backbending adjustment though, apart from the one where Sheshadri picks you up from underneath (whilst you're in urdhva dhanurasana) and swings you about like an old cat, it's hard to explain but when my back cracked Sheshadri said 'good' and put me down again. Actually it felt pretty good - like i was floating, but i can feel my back more tonight....tiger balm and massage is the way forward!
I decided to not worry about the money (well until i get back anyway - maybe i can make the dogs take smaller dogs out for walks or something? It's about time they went out to work, seriously all they do is potter about, eat and lie about all day....)
So i decided to go to pranayama. It was excellent, there was 6 of use there in total, 4 beginners. Sheshadri is so enthusiastic and i really enjoyed it. I have made copious notes and will be going at 4.00pm every day until i leave it think, it's just such a great opportunity.
The rest of my day was spent walking up to 'Lucky World' for 'supplies', trying to find Swami (the water man), reading on the newly discovered roof terrace, cooking lunch and going to pick up my newly made trousers (i'll let you know how that goes when i try them on). So you see Kath it is relaxing really!
Can i just share with you guys that Ganesh has closed his internet cafe due to the power cut (protective of his machines) and now i'm in one that smells of old men and hair oil and grease?/sweat? is seeping through my trousers from the previous internet user......dudes i am roughing it! Ok off to get some scran now, i am sooooo hungry after all that breathing and the like! Speak soon peeps.
