Pre christmas practice....Glad it's all over!

Oh, can't wait to go back to Majorca!

Pre festive holiday practice

I really miss my yoga class, due to the festive season, there's no yoga classes.....

Before all this happened, my practice was awesome, I felt feeling "unite" whatever that was, with all people in the studio came together, that was what I felt like. It was wonderful, I sometimes look around during a class, it's beautiful, everyone seems to really into it, not sure how to explain it, almost as if we became one, I know it sounds a bit corny, but that was how I felt like.

On 19 & 20th/Dec morning, I went really deep in savasana, I was tripping out. I saw a rusty door in dark, but I could see light behind the closed rusty door, then it opened and I went through.... It was amazing, when the class finished, I asked Jacqui, my teacher. And she told me I didn't need to analyse it. I tend to analyse quite a bit, that's another thing I do and need to let go....

On Monday 22nd/Dec evening practise, I again fully enjoyed and appreciated how lucky I was to be able to attend such a great class.... Tuesday 23rd was my last class I could go, that was lovely Siobhan's Hatha class. I loved it. 

So, all these wonderful classes I attended, now, I'm really missing it. It's been a week since my last practice with either Jacqui or Siobhan. This is my observation, Christmas isn't really convenient for me! I now need to wait for another week....

Then I had an idea, I booked a class in my local yoga centre ( do you remember the place I used to work in the kitchen? ). Initially I booked two classes, but I needed to cancel one due to my work.

It was supposed to be vinyasa flow, but it was hot yoga/ Ashtanga practice! It was really hot, it was nice small class and liked sweating away. The teacher was an ashtanga teacher and a bit mad. 

This is my observation, either "he means well, but misunderstood being him" or utter t***, I spoke to him after the class a bit, I was not expecting to have full conversation, as his students for next class walked in to the studio really invasive manner (at least felt that way). Anyway, he asked me questions and I answered them however I felt I was put on a spot and felt like didn't have much time to answer his questions. Then he went on a bit (which I didn't understand what he was talking about), he concluded those questions and answered himself and almost as if he had whole conversation by himself. 

I walked out from the yoga centred feeling "something not sit right with me" feeling... not sure what it was, until I processed what it was said after a few days or so. I'm not going on much about it, but made me think "are there lot of those people out there who are soooo full of themselves teaching yoga, and it doesn't say anything about that on any yoga literature...." well, this is my journey, finding people who are pretentious, me being humble and having humility sometimes looks a bit stupid. Hey, as long as my sides are clean, that's all matters. (I learnt having humility, being humble from 12step meetings I used to go to. Those are great place to learn basis of spirituality if you are an addict!)

Anyway, I again, took a few things home I agreed and liked from what he said, so, I'm happy with that too.

New Year!

Happy New Year, thank god, it's all over till the end of this year again, Christmas has gone, now opened up to 2015. I've been practising yoga at home, I can't wait to go back to my routine. Jacqui's class has started this week, my first class will be tomorrow night. 

I seemed to over stretched my upper back muscle during my home practice last month, got a huge knot, and really uncomfortable. I hope I can get rid of this soon......
