Today I had to keep from laughing during yoga. I went to a new teacher tonight. During shivasena, or the final relaxation pose, he rang a bell three times and said "May the fear of death leave the room!" in such a serious voice that I had to pretend to cough to keep from laughing. Then on my way out of class I overheard two students talking about the best recipe for making sage blueberry cookies. I don't ever want the words "I made you some sage cookies" to come out of my mouth. I love yoga, but I also love pizza and beer.
That's what this blog is about. A normal person's quest to find balance in 2010 using yoga and all other means necessary. Each entry will reflect on one of the four aims and how it relates to daily life in the hope that this helps other regular peeps find a little bit of balance in their lives as well. :)
Hi friend - I am inspired by the concept as well as the writing. And as someone in school currently, I am in desperate need of balance myself and went to Bikram yesterday for the first time in months. I used to go every week.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your aspirations. And if you ever need the guilt of another person wondering, "why weren't you in class yesterday?" I'd love to catch a class with you.
