Yoga Lasts Longer
I love the Olympics. I love the energy I imagine must be in the room on a night like the US Olympic Gymnastic Trials. I might be a bit more overzealous with my imagination during the swimming and gymnastics trials -- swimming because I know that ambition and swam competitively for a long time and gymnastics because I think the strength/flexibility combo is a lot like ashtanga. Those people have dedicated their lives and many of them haven't even lived half their life yet. I feel the same way about yoga... I just think the yoga Olympics are at the end of the road to yourself which is really, when you think on it, a self-made ending point... practice and all is coming.

Not In The Cards
Since I didn't get to do yoga on Friday or Saturday which is odd for me, I was determined to make a class today. Knowing that teacher training was going on at the Ashtanga Center (and not wanting to deal with the crowds), I decided to try Dennis Dean's place in Oceanside which is right down the street from my father-in-law's house. This would be a nice trial for me and if I liked it give me another place that I would have babysitting available for.... When I woke up this morning I felt my moon coming and it started right before I was going to leave. I decided to try it anyway.... only to get all the way up there and the studio is closed down, gone... nothing. I guess it serves me right for not having called first and just assuming since a website exists, a place exists. I guess it was meant to be because my moon is doing its usuall first day = hell thing now.
Ashtangi.NET is coming along though I am still working out the kinks with how often feeds are checked, how to hack the software I bought to manage all this to get it to do what I want and how I want it done. It's been nice to get emails from interested people...KEEP THEM COMING.
