Healthy life

I'm continuing the dialog with my body. Today it told me that it wanted something light for lunch, in preparation for the ashtanga class later in the evening. I suggested some seafood, which the stomach then approved. On my way back from the shopping trip it wanted a grande chai latte (apparently tall wasn't enough) - although near the end of the latte it changed it's mind back to tall. Oh well, at least I'm listening. For lunch I had some red snapper lighly seasoned with herbs, cracked peppercorns and sea salt - and prawns, you gotta make them with a sweet chili sauce. Seafood is so ridiculously cheap here it would be a sin not to eat it.

Ashtanga practice was good - we have an hour an a half slot for primary series, which is not quite enough, so we ended up skipping most of the finishing sequence. A real shame, the shoulder stances are my personal favourites - but Kelly and Jason said that they'd be looking into changing what goes into each lesson so I should get my finishing sequence soon enough.

I was also delighted to learn something new - Kelly showed me how I should be doing the jump-back and lowering down in surya namaskaras, and how to go to cobra from there (can't do up-dog due to my wrist). This has always been a bit of a mystery and because of my disability I do this differently to other students - for some reason Karen never corrected me so I assumed I was doing it right. How Kelly showed me to do it makes so much more sense though and feels much better, so I'm really glad she did it.

So healthy day today. Since I started yoga again and started paying more attention to my diet I've been feeling a lot better.
