After Mysore

So, it's been a month and ten days since I got back from Mysore. The trip has certainly done wonders for my practice. My practice is quite regular now - helped a little by the presence of a new teacher, who teaches Mysore style classes at the Westin hotel on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. So, now I have the choice of classes at ss2, morning Mysore classes at the Westin or self practice at home. Once, I even set the alarm at 4.30am to practice. How dedicated is that?! But, just the once. Ok, not so dedicated after all.

Practice has been great. Two days ago, I practiced at home and managed to get my fingers to touch (ET style) on the first side of Marichyasana D. That is huge for me. The teacher at the Westin have been giving me new poses almost each time I go! Yesterday morning, I've got Supta Padangusthasana. I'm not quite sure I'm ready for so many new poses - but she is a great teacher, so I surrender to her instructions. We are working on getting my chin on the mat in Bhujapidasana. Not easy! I've squashed my nose quite a few times and I still haven't got my chin to the mat.

So, that's the yoga front. On other matters, I've got a new iPhone and I've open a Twitter account. I'm very thrilled with my iPhone - it's so different and much cooler than my old phone. I'm still don't get the fuss about Twitter. I can see it's a great tool for those in the retail and news industries. But what do ordinary joes like me do with it besides tweeting about the food we eat, the weather or the mood we're in? Still, no harm giving it a go. Maybe I'll start spamming up the net with random tweets and see if I get some irate responses!

Well, new blog, new phone and regular practice - I feel like a new person ...
