Baby Elephant
I spent most of this morning thumping around like the proverbial baby elephant. I think it might've been the shock of catching the earlier tube as the train got in 4 minutes ahead of schedule. I globbered some poor girl on the head with my leg as she was coming up from down dog in her sun salute, then nearly side swiped V with my hand during the first of my own salutations. Yikes. Sorry. Then I head butted the wall, though thankfully only very lightly, on the way up from padahasthasana, I think it was.
Hmnnn. Focus not happening.
Practice did get marginally better near the end when I surprised myself with a good twist in Mari-C followed by a good bind in D, thanks to the teacher's much needed assistance. I could do with a baby elephant to sit on me in supta kurmasana, there's a long, long way to go there.
The network at work's been causing everyone grief the last couple of days, even the phones have been cutting customers off all over the place. It's made it unbearably difficult to get anything done, so it's not surprising I managed to get to page 100 on the book that arrived on Monday. There's not much I can do with a package that needs to be tested online when there's no network connectivity. Oh well. Atleast the book was good.
Looks like the flatmate's boyfriend's in squatting here now. That's not much fun. Still, only 5 days till I can hand in my notice to quit, seeing as how my 6 months here is up. Already had a good look at a couple of places so it's looking promising. I'm getting itchy feet again, I can feel it in my bones. Sometimes being a Gemini can be no fun. I really wish I could settle sometimes.

Hi Gee
Didn't V. make a statement in her blog requesting that people in the shala not do a wide open sun salute? So it may have been you next to her that caused her to write about it? hehe. Back years ago when Yoga Grove was the main ashtanga shala in Miami, it was in a smallish space where we all had to learn to do sun salutations in angeli mudra all the time, or risk really hitting each other. I went to a few workshops there where the mats were placed without any separation in between. Not pretty at Prasaritta Padotanasanas. Ha!
Cheers, Arturo

Hi there, yeah she did but I added a comment apologising for maybe 'swiping' in front of her with my albatross arms- not that they're that big. She was kind enough to drop me a line to say she didn't even notice.
Yoga Grove, atleast where it is now, is a great wee place, I loved the reception area, it's a nice place to hang out. If you were in the 'old' place you probably know my teacher!
