We climbed The Chief yesterday, which isn't as intimidating as it sounds. It's only 550m in altitude and 2.5km, yet, we managed to squeeze in a lot of excitement into the hike.
Afterwards, our legs were ok. We didn't think we would have a hard time doing 2hrs of practice today, but how we were wrong!

Our walk started speedy, but fizzled out near the hospital. We're usually at the hospital at 6:49am, we know this because there's a big clock outside. Today, we were there at 6:55am! That didn't make us speed up our pace, we were just too tired. We weren't the first ones in the studio either!!! Change is always going to come said Sam Cooke.

Eka Pada Galavasana

We started with Yoga Sutras, not bad. We had a prep quiz on anatomy, not bad. We started our practice- deadly. Unlike the rest of our practice, today we had no peak pose. It was just an advance arm balance bonanza!
Iyengar is graciously demonstrating some of the advanced poses that we did. M nearly died. She got into a few of them but was mostly in child's pose. S got several praises from E, and got managed to get into several of the poses. He did go into child's pose a few time though!

 

Eka Pada Koundinyasana

After break we went to the bank to get all of our UK money to our CIBC account. It only took us 40mins to get it all done, and got back to have our Pizza Hut left overs!

After lunch, M was falling asleep. It was little long because we talked about the Subtle Body- if you dissect a person you won't be able to see their Chakras, right? After talking about things we couldn't see, we went into some practice teach.

After yoga school we went to get some fruit and now we're working on our homework.

So homework for tonight:
Write a class sequence up to our peak pose: either Tittibhasana or Eka Pada Koundinyasana.
Write a journal on your thoughts about the Chakras- which are you least balanced in? Whether deficient or too much of, and what would be a self-prescribed yoga asana that can balance you out?
Write an opening for a class based on the Charkas.

Tired and out!

Stay grounded,

S and M
