nice yogis, chocolates, yogarama for obama
the birds were loud on the bus to Berkeley this morning. funny that the louder they are, the deeper i sleep during the ride. today was led class. six of us in the first row, six on the next row. a lady who didn't want to be by herself asked the people on the second row if they would mind squeezing them in. they squoze her in, staggering the mats a little. nice yogis. someone arrived later. she would not have been alone after all. i practiced next to TheKid. he has a yoga body. want the head down during the prasaritta paddotanasanas? no problem. his body doesn't talk back to him. i notice, though, that from the places i've practiced i've picked up some nuances or flourishes in my transitions, such as landing with the foot bent in triang mukkha paschimottanasana, or landing with the feet already bent ready for binding in the janus sirsasanas, which he hasn't picked up yet. on the way to coffee i bumped into mountain man. he thought the pace had been quick today. i didn't find it quick. my challenge was insufficient practice last week. but i did everything relatively well and with energy today. after coffee i again did the mini groceries at andronicos. one benefit of shopping there is that they carry joseph schmidt chocolates in the deli. what's nicer than a truffle after practice? another truffle. chocolate - one of the foundations of joy. in the spirit of autumn i've been consuming a pumpkin shaped chocolate every sunday.
a side note on the "Yogarama for Obama" -Teacher said that some enterprising yogis asked the campaign manager of the official Obama website if they could post the flyer in it, and they obtained permission. here is the link. i was hoping to see the photoshopped image of Obama doing Adha Matsyendrasana, but it's not included. i don't have a copy of the flyer, otherwise, I would post the image here. just imagine Obama's face instead of Arjuna's in this photo from Arjuna's site.
oh, sorry, there was a link to the website with the flyer. hehe. so floated above is the image, and correction, the senator is not shown doing ardha matsyendrasana after all, but supta urdhva pada vajrasana, so i have corrected this post. the image is from the website announcing the workshop and the link was in the official website post. and by the way, God bless Arjuna. it really is his body.
