Day off

Today has been my day off parenting the parents.

I love having them here, but as they are on holiday and want to see everything that's left on their list, let me just tell you that they keep on going at a pace that would exhaust a teenager.

So today I set them on their way to see the Anthropological Museum at UBC as I've seen that twice now in a short space of time, and set on doing my things. Which included meditating (pat on the back), sleeping, surfing the net, watching Star Trek (go me) and sending another job application.

In the evening I had time to go to yoga - it's been awhile again. It was yin, and I got to explore some postures I have been thinking about. Since the Paul Grilley workshop I've been looking at my practice in an all new different way, and especially in yin I'm questioning all the time how I should do them. I've gone to the extremes in inward rotation to explore better postures for me, and trying different alternative postures for some of the outwardly rotating postures that are just torture for me. It's taken time, but I'm starting find a very personal practice that is hand-tailored just for me, and works for no-one else's body but mine. I think eventually I want to do the same thing with ashtanga - only that's going to be much more subtle adjusting.

I had a very short chat with Kirstin about the teacher training, and she said that even if I didn't decided to be a yoga teacher - the course would never be wasted time. So the thought process continues.
