Thursday night I dropped in to see Christine at Darby's new shala. Well...he and Shankara have had Saatva up and running for quite a while now...so perhaps some would say it's not new any more. It is a very nice place...and getting nicer.
It was great to see Christine. She's been in mtl for several months now and this is really the first time we've hooked up. Had a bite to eat after class, we went for Thai food...was a very nice treat.
2 90 minute yoga sessions in 1 week was quite a bit for me.
[contrasted against 20 minutes in the am 3-4 times a week] Felt like I'd been in a gang-fight...everypart of my body was tender and ached. It was fantastic.
I've come to realize that if I'm going to sign up for that week-long intensive with Hart this fall, I'd better get the lead out and step up the level of daily...and extended or vigorous sessions...otherwise it'll be a bit rough.
The two new courses I taught this week went quite well. Though I think it'll be a little while before my dept manages to deliver a true program on this new content as it's quite varied and currently being tackled in an ungent time-frame. We're rushing to get the courses out without much time for dev on the course level...and there's at least 4 instructors doing individual preparation...no one to tie the individual courses together and make a program out of it...soon coming???
Manager of my dept is leaving...and also the Dir he reports to...very wierd landscape at work right now. Had a discussion with a sage vetran member of the dept...and his forcast of the short-term environment is kind of brutal...we'll see...
The lawns are mowed and Loren and I are about settle down for a little dinner...I brought her some week-end lillies yesterday.
Off to Rougemont tomorrow...to undo all those leg and groin openning poses I've been working on...
