I Bound in D Yippee

I bound in Marichyasana D for the first time this morning. I was so focused on my breathing and with keeping the flow of my practice going that I just went straight into D and bound without thinking twice about it. When I came out of it I was in shock that I just went into it the way I did. It felt unreal! Can't wait to practice tomorrow :)

Practice has been really good this week. Monday I was really tired for some reason which affected the practice, but the rest of the week I had lots of energy and am enjoying my practice on a whole new level. I guess I'm picking up lots of little tid bits from Gregor's book. For example, I didn't realise that in Chaturanga I have only been lowering to be parallel with my arms instead of lowering further. And now I've become much more aware of distributing the weight evenly in my legs and feet in the standing postures which has helped a lot. I also realised that I was not far enough forward (I don't mean bending) but forward on my feet in Prasarita Padottanasana A-D. Lots of little things from his book are helping my practice and I've only read a little bit.

Long weekend this weekend and I'm off to a holiday house with friends for three days by the sea. Drumming on the beach, good food, lots of laughter, star gazing, singing, dancing, snuggling round the fire, and of course yoga. A few friends are bringing their mats and I'll be taking them through some yoga.
