Teacher training, day 5

I feel fantastic today. It's been a busy day again, starting with a practice with Shannon at ten. Something is different, my practice is very light and flowing at the moment, everything makes sense. I can't put my finger on it, but so much of it seems just... effortless.

On the lectures we continued going through our class script, today starting with the standing sequence. We paired up for partner teaching again, and I went through both Surya Namaskars with Nicole - definitely better than yesterday. It's weird how you just forget the basic vocabulary when doing this - I was trying to remember what to call "feet" and Nicole forgot what "chest" was... I guess all this becomes automatic in time. For now, it requires a lot of work.

I stayed after class for a yin class which felt really good, too. One of the things that might contribute for the general well being currently could be that I've been sitting on the floor (in Virasana as that's naturally the most comfortable position for me, much better than cross-legged) which after the first really painful day has become quite comfortable. I don't constantly need to shift about which my fellow students find puzzling, in fact I haven't really even thought about it until they mention it to me. Then there's eating - I eat low fat vegetarian food that I've cooked myself, often and in small portions, and drink lot of water... when I break it apart like this it doesn't really seem that surprising that I feel well.
