Today was my first day off from training…..I’ve decided to take Wednesday and Sunday’s as my days off. When I speak about days off I mean from biking, running and swimming……Yoga and meditation is something I practice daily, and will continue to do so. Wednesday’s are my busiest teaching days and I’m usually running all around the city on foot and on the train to reach my classes, and can honestly say all that running around is a work out within itself !

So I was up at 5:00 am for my meditation and yoga practice, then I headed off to my first class at 7:00 am. My practice this morning included sun salutations, spending some extra breaths in my standing forward folds, to help stretch out my tight hamstrings and provide some relief to lower back tightness……I also spent time in my pigeon pose to help with the knees and hamstrings, and included some king pigeon variations for a nice quadriceps stretch, then added some back bending in the pigeon asanas (posture) to open the chest and heart……Before moving into my asana practice I did several rounds of alternate nostril breathing to get things started…….I’ve had a bit of a stuffy nose this week and love to use this breathing technique to get things loosened up (good way to rid stuffy head and nose build up…have tissues near by). Breakfast was boring a bagel and biscotti and dried fruit with some tea.
My bed time habits……Oh, well, what can I say I’m a work in progress….last night I shut it down around 12:45am….better than 1:15am but, I was not tired this morning I actually woke up earlier than I planned. I must admit I took a short solid nap today 60 minutes and now I’m off to teach my last classes for the evening.

I want to take a moment and say THANK YOU to each one of you for the loving words, emails, page posts, phone calls and all around support on this, IT MEANS SO MUCH! Its nice to know that you read the blog and you believe in and support me on this journey……as I’m sure there will be some not so easy days ( human nature ) I will keep movin’ along knowing that I have the support of many, even those of you who don’t say it out loud I feel the loving energy and vibes you’re sending my way!
I received two pieces of GREAT news today which has left me even more inspired to follow my desire to help provide preventative health and wellness in my stressed communities…..I’m also learning a great lesson in patience…..I’m a pretty patient person but when things like the health and well being of children come up I want things to fall into place like, yesterday! I know that’s not realistic nor do I really want things to happen that quick ( remember anything you receive to quick without much effort is NO GOOD ), but I’m so passionate about this issue, that I can’t help but to want immediate results…..my meditation practice gently brings me back to the reality of working toward my goals with peace, love, patience and things will definitely work out……Well gotta get ready to head out to teach……..Namaste
