Wednesday Morning

Well, let's see... It's a somewhat busy week getting ready to head out to Mexico on Friday. I am pretty excited about the upcoming retreat. 7 days in Mexico with the group and 2 days afterwards with me and Kelly to keep surfing. I am really looking forward to it. I have never been to the Baja and I am ready for some mild, nice weather. There is some rumor of snow here in Austin. (gasp!)

So I just returned form teaching Focus on Form at Castle Hill. We worked a lot with Open to Grace and passive rooting, inner body brightening and allowing the outer body to grow softer. I worked with the theme of tenderness and softness. We primarily practiced handstands, Vira 1, and ustrasana. For sure,the class was softer and less strong in terms of the outer, muscular work we so often do to open our bodies. I thought it went well although generating openness in this way is pretty

I am finishing up cooking my lunch- vegetable curry over basmati rice- and then I will do a little work before getting into my practice and heading back to Castle Hill for the evening class. So between now and then I need to clean my house, do some laundry, pack, answer a bunch of email and generally put things in order to leave town again for 10 days. Nothing too major so long as I keep moving.

That's it for now. More later.

I'm still wondering where you were going after Ustrasana? Hope to see you tonight.

well, it was kind of leading to getting the inner body lined up before taking the arm bones back in urdhva danurasana but no way did we have time for that. Also added to that was the piece about lifting the hips higher that we worked on tonight.
