Read MoreJet lag blues again
I feel much better today. I must have slept, this is for sure. At 7am I woke up and I got up. I woke up without alarm clock, but I felt tired. The eyes are open and want to be closed and that at the same time. This jet lag feeling is no more that awful. I was even able to do some chores already. First I cut the dead flowers on my balcony. The freshness opened my eyes. Later I cleaned the dishes, I put our dirty clothes in the washing machine. Slowly I unpack my suitcase. I will nap 1 hour or so very soon. Afterwards I’ll practice. I am not yet ready to step on my mat. It will be second series today, an early afternoon practice. Who cares. This is...
Read MoreAsanas
There are:1. balancing asanas2. forward bending asanas3. back bending asanas4. twists5. inversions6. others (because some asanas I cannot categorize) The distinction is not difficult or easy.Nevertheless in sum I had a difficult practice. The right leg is still overstretched. It heals only slowly, very slowly. This is all part of it. A hot tip here: Asthanga yoga requires a daily practice. 3 days off is too much. To practice daily, at least some sun salutation, helps to keep the body soft and strong. Today it was easier to practice than yesterday, but still very exhausting. The body felt stiff. My arms got weak. The weather in Brazil was better, here it is already...
Read MoreJet lag
It’s only 5 hours difference to Brazil, but this makes THE difference. I still jet lag. I had difficulties to sleep in, even though I went to bed late, means 11pm. I didn’t hear my alarm clock, which I had set at 6am. At 9am I was still sooooooo tired that I didn’t find the way out of the bed. Now it’s 10:30am. In Brazil it’s 5:30am. I’m not amused that I get up so late, not at all. This jet lag makes a mess out of my day. This is a preview of Jet lag. Read the full post (138 words, 2 images, estimated 33 secs reading...
Read MoreFieldhouse of Dreams: Yoga Reaches Out/Global Mala Boston at Gillette Stadium
In what you might call the Battle of the NFL’s Prettiest Quarterbacks (also known as the New England Patriots vs. the New York Jets game), Tom Brady’s team fell to Mark Sanchez’s 28-14 yesterday. Despite the Patriots’ loss, there was much rejoicing on its practice field, in the Dana-Farber Field House. Sadly, this had nothing to do with football*. This is a preview of Fieldhouse of Dreams: Yoga Reaches Out/Global Mala Boston at Gillette Stadium. Read the full post (551 words, 8 images, estimated 2:12 mins reading...
Read MoreIt was horrible
I wondered what did not hurt today. I knew why I postponed my practice to the afternoon. 3 days I was without a yoga practice. But that it can that bad astonished even me: - the joints were rusty, - the muscles felt poisoned, - the second toe is still swollen, - my left knee hurt - and my upper right leg, where the harmstrings meet the buttocks tortured me each time I stretched the right leg. This was the worst. This is a preview of It was horrible. Read the full post (319 words, 2 images, estimated 1:17 mins reading...
