Temptation

Try not to over-think it, Jen said as we were in a sumo-like position dipping our shoulders left then right.

Try telling that to a chronic over-thinker.

Before we started practicing yoga, we meditated. Closing the eyes lets the body know that it's time to go inside...

I instinctively close my eyes when I do self-chakra connections and it does make me feel internally calm.

After yoga, I felt like I wanted to exercise more but, the previous day, I practiced kettlebell, walked and did yoga so it was time to let my body recuperate.

I drew a bath, put in eucalyptus salt plus lavender bubbles, got deeper into Cheryl Strayed's Wild and emerged an hour later.

I woke up before the alarm and, though horizontal, experienced equal standing.

I got a surprise in the mail from Yoga Journal who is tempting me with a Netflix-like program and the offer is totally inviting but this offer finds me at a time when I'm trying to dig deep and unclutter but I definitely think Gingerzingi should have a DVD like this one.

Equal Standing or Month-End Review, March

Checked the schedule at a branch of my gym:

March 31, 2013 (Easter) Group Ex schedule
9 am yoga Gloria
11 am yoga Gloria 

Win-win...

Gloria mentioned Easter, Passover, the March Equinox and Mahatma Gandhi's famous Be the change...quote to talk about the sense of renewal at this time of the year.

Did dancing cobra for the first time and dug it. The jury is still out on the Tibetan sit-ups though.

Something that I enjoy hearing during practice is samasthiti or equal standing -- something that appeals to me more and more these days...
