phoenix_aroseokay -so this is the 1st morning in 3 days i haven't gotten up before dawn
DAwn is a nice time of day - it makes you feel alive - there is an energy in the world that just isn't there later in the day
However pre dawn - yoga on 6-7 hours of sleep is a bit much for most people
the Food (what i could eat of it ) was excelent - if you ever get the option to go to a retreat out there - go for the food, the energy, and the peace.
the first night we talked about teacher taining in gerneral then did a half hour of meditaing - then went to dinner yay foods i could actually eat- then came back and did 2 hours of yoga history - with and hour of mediting at the end
i fell alseep - or was out of my body , couldn't tell wich and i couldn't tell you what brought me back or awake - either - i didn't sleep very well friday night kept waking up every hour
Saterday
Saturday morning i got up about 5 and hit the shower tryed to wash my hair - with bar shampoo - it got it clean well at least the roots were clean the reast of it i would have been in the shower till at least 10 trying to get it to work - so i gave up got clean and braided my hair downin pig tails and got "conservativly" dressed and when to class where we slept 3 hours doing Pratayama, which for those of you who don't speak sansrit is "breathing practice" it altually was really enjoable it gave me alot of time to thing - the teacher was right there are some every intence moments with god when there is no air in your lungs for 6+ seconds or heart beats
it gives a glimps into the divine and it did - i good to think about alot of stuff and got alot of stuff straight and dealt with and i think i can finally make fairly educated descitions about all of it now.
after that was breakfast - yay for foods lindsey can eat and bananas -
after breakfast we did intro to hatha asana - more backround and some steachign - then lunch then Hatha Techniquies - poo on that that was the most useless afternoon ever i learned nothing about teaching those asanas at what so ever- i did learn that i had let me parctice slip and i have VERY VERY tight hamstings - those are much loser now - thank you Jennifer and betty
dinner was some thing i could kinda eat - then we went back and and did yoga history and meditation - my body was sooooooo agitated with me i couldn't sit still and couldn't let go of my body - it was fussy - so i got up and went for a walk and looked bown at my skin and it was blue and paper white - not a good clore the naturally anemic body wasx staring to really need the meat i wasn't getting - so i came back to "thank the teachers who came before us" and to get teh administeartive stuff and be riminded that from 8:30pm til 9 am there woudl be silence- great what everone need more time to be alone with god - okay well i took that time to turn on my MP3 player and do full moon ritual - that helped ground me out - i feel alseep with a stomach full of bananas and pepermint tea about 10:30
Sunday
we didn't ahve to be in class till 6:30 which was good because we had our collective ass beat the day before ( holding trangle pose for more than 15 min really starts to hurt). i don't more than 2 people got up to shower before class we all rolled out of bead stripped the sheets and stuff and got dressed packed and brushed our teeth and walked to class - did 3 hours of work with out standing up - i guess to prove that you can infact to yoga all sitting down - evry one was REALLY aggrivated - and on top of that we were doing posture that make people feel grumpy
had breakfast - in silence still - after breakfast we had a really great "teaching" class till 12 (lunch) we like actually learned how to correct poses and how to modify them for people
lunch blew - no one liked and they couldn't tell me what was in it - so i had nothing, because it was unidentifiable pured bits of someting.
From 1:30 - 5:30 - we did invertisions how to tech them and also back bends on chairs and sequencing that helps lead up to that - that was a work out we go into the pose for like 5-10 breaths then she would pick someone who was doing it wrong and we would learn how to fix it then we would apir off and learn to do it then do the same pose again and leatn how to fix another common problem then we would sitt down and writte down some useful notes
After we got done i drove to Dave's Palce where i was proptly treated andfussed over like a Goddess (gooddess of yoga & massage) he made stir fry with beef(whata treat) and let me eat all of it almost - and made dessert - the rest of the night was non of your business
BWT does anyone know if non instant jello pudding had to be heated before putting it in the fidge to set?
