day 3
the day experiments are more exciting to me for some reason. i guess because it’s harder than shooting at night, which makes it more fun for someone like me. maybe that’s why i’m drawn to bikram yoga? hmmm, that’s something to think about.
well, no job yet, so i’ve still got the weight of gibraltar on my shoulders. i don’t know why, when i get so down like this, i get my most creative. i’ve been working on a new project that is really keeping me entertained and hopefully, when it’s ready to share with you, it’ll entertain you for a little bit as well.
great sally class today and finally next to h.s. again, nice to have her back from brasil. it was so hard to not push myself in class today. i was in such a good mood, having my friend back and i always go deeper in my practise when sally is leading class. her pace and dialogue are amazing. today she shared a really good one today: you deepen your practise through stillness in the poses and in between them, or something like that. heartbreakers, when you resist the urge to wipe sweat or fix your hair, you build discipline, sharpen your focus, seriously, just try it and see how much your practise will grow. see you tomorrow ~m

when I let myself not wipe the sweat and instead feel it going from the top of my head like a river/stream down the length of my body .. actually many rivers.. especially in between triangle poses.. it is absolutely exquisitely beautiful to be in the moment.

I agree about building discipline by not wiping sweat etc. I’m a bit old school when it comes to that stuff. I’m against hand towels in the room. And I’m a sweater so I don’t like to hear that excuse from anybody! (oh, but I sweat too much!!!)
It should just be you and your mat and the towel on top of your mat. That’s it!
I’m not quite there yet with the no water though. That’s my last crutch. Mary Javis would probably straighten me out real quick if I were practicing at her studio! :)

you women have no idea how beautiful you look when you are covered in sweat ~ sigh ;~}
you know mish, she commented on my blog, “your breath is all you need” and that has helped me get through many classes!
feels great trace, still working on mental issues, but whatevs, ain’t dead yet!
