I practice about four times a week. I specifically look for classes about half an hour long because this is the perfect balance of really finding relaxation and fitting it into my day. I also love the longer practices but these are mostly for vacation or weekends. Having a daily calendar would be helpful.

Not being worried about what other people think of me. Maintaining a healty dose of "positive weirdness" makes life so much more colorful and interesting. I

That was a lovely calming practice. We are currently on vacation and the beds in our rented house are a bit uncomfortable and my shoulders and hips have felt a bit stiff all day.

I really enjoyed this quiet simple practice and the additional information. I also realized I had forgotten some things from my first practices. Sometimes a step back is really two steps forward.

That sounds intriguing! I'll put that on my reading list. I'm currently reading the Tawny Man trilogy which is the sequel of the Farseer Trilogy written by Robin Hobb. While the story has the general traits of a fantasy novel, the author is very good at developing characters and plots and different types of magic. The main character is able to bond to an animal but this type of magic is generally depised and harshly punished. This means that under the telling of the story, there are more layers dealing with prejudice, ethics, etc.

A book which has very much inspired and touched me is The inhabited woman by Gioconda Belli. It is the (love) story of a young woman during the revolution in Nicaragua who gets infused by the spirit of an ancient woman warrior and who then leaves her sheltered life to try to help free her country from oppression.

Pure bliss! And using blocks under the elbows in Sphinx is perfect because Seal is still too much for my back.

Did this yesterday and enjoyed it very much. I even managed to place my hand on my back in Tumbling Tortoise aaaah ... Rolling Panda. šŸ˜„
