new pose

hi,
first, the weather:
it's raining! yipee!!!!!

Mother Nature is doing her job and getting back on track with the precipitation. It was so hot & dry here we were thinking of re-landscaping with rocks, sand & cactus since everything else was dying a horrible, slow death. This much needed water is coming down in buckets, but that's a good thing today. I was fed up with schlepping the hose out at 6am every morning to try and keep the garden alive. Now I can look forward to all the weeds that will need pulling once the rains abates. Why do the weeds grow faster, stronger and healthier than anything else in the ground?

This morning I did one of my favorite Yoga classes. I am getting stronger and stronger, plus healthier and healthier... I wish I could get younger & younger but I'll settle for stronger & healthier. After Yoga I taught a swimming student for 45 minutes in the pool. She was huffing and puffing, I was feeling fine. I can see how the Yoga breathing is making my swimming better too. After 2½ hours of exercise between the Yoga and the pool I felt great. It's so nice to have a relatively healthy body again. My stamina is almost back to normal. Today in Yoga I was able to do one of the tricky balancing poses that has eluded me for the last 6 months. Who knows why it all-of-a-sudden "works", but it does. I am enjoying the Yoga because I see progress in my strength and healing.... and there is always a harder pose to master. Maybe I was a weed in another life? I seem to grow stronger & healthier like them. If I could grow taller that would really convince me that Yoga is miraculous on top of being good for your mind & body. Too much to strive for? Maybe.

Namaste
