Ok. So about 3 weeks ago I was going along strong in my practice, excited about Ricky's Core Transformations workshop that my sis and I have been attending, and suddenly was struck with the idea to start this blog. I had been thinking that with all this abundance of great new info I was learning and practicing, I really needed to start writing some of it down...start journaling. And then it hit me...why keep this all to myself?? I will share it with all who are interested, and then maybe they can share their experiences with me as well! I could not sleep that night, and became obsessed with thoughts of how wonderful my blog would be. And then, before I knew what had hit me, I realized I had no motivation to do my physical practice. This worried me a little and went on for about 2 weeks. But I was patient, reminding myself that the physical practice is only one aspect of my practice as a whole. So I practiced compassion for myself, and continued to work on getting this blog site up and running. We met with Ricky again this past Sunday, and the fire for my physical practice was once again lit. Yea! Thanks for that, Ricky!
So on Sunday: got a text from Ricky telling us that he just found out we could not use our usual space for practice and the workshop. I did not worry, because I know and truly believe that everything always happens for a reason and works out the way it should. And guess what...it did!! Ricky's girlfriend, Victoria, got approval for us to use one of the studios at the dance institute where she teaches. Problem solved! The rest of the day continued to unfold beautifully as we went to lunch at a great Thai restaurant, and then ended up back at my house to finish out our studies and practice for the day. We discussed and then practiced more in depth various pranayama exercises: bhastrika, kumbhaka, nadi sodhana, and kapalabhati.

Savasana, om, namaste...
Gratitude: thank you Ricky for remaining committed to our training, giving us your complete and undivided attention on just 4 hours of sleep. Thank you, Victoria, for finding us a place to practice. Thank you to our waiter at Red Curry for your wonderful and cheery service, followed by complimentary fried banana dessert! And as you will hear me say every single day, thank you Paul (my husband), for being the most wonderful man I have ever known, without whom my wonderful life as a yoga pixie would not be possible. I love you immensely! Namaste to you all.
