artemis42This weekend of yoga teacher training has been fantastic. I'm learning a lot, both in terms of finding the best expression of each posture and building the muscle memory to come into each one with new confidence. New friends made, great discussions had, lots of breathwork and stretching out tight muscles.
Today's personal victory: getting my heels all the way down to the floor in downward-facing dog. The past month of slowly building my practice is already yielding awesome results that I can feel.
Got a chance to hang out with Chris on Saturday night, watched some Eddie Izzard, had some pizza and wonderful tangential conversation.
Sold some yarn through my Etsy shop, a much needed boost, and I'm pleased that the advertising within the site is affordable.
Treated myself to malai kofta, garlic naan and a mango lassi from Ali Baba tonight to celebrate all the focus and good work done this weekend, and savored every bite.
I've put in an application at the Parkade Health Shoppe, it seems they have an opening, and I'd rather sell vitamins and health food than just about anything else this area could offer.. besides, I did work there for 2 years, and it's not like they'll have to spend any real time training me, just a bit of refresher for their rather old registers, so I've got my fingers crossed, as I could really use the income.
If I don't get called in to work, I'll be attending kirtan in Montague on Monday night, staying with a friend in Easthampton and going to the Noho kirtan on Tuesday evening. The more practice I can get, the better prepared I'll be when I get called on to lead someday. Right now, I'm working with the guitar while I save up for a harmonium, and I'm really excited to be using my musical training again in devotion. Returning to my roots in a new way.
Off to sleep before I fall over onto the keyboard.
Later.
-Me.
