Practise

[Guest guest]

Oh gawd, reading all your posting on your regular

practices makes me feel sooo depressed. <br><br>I'd love to

do a daily session (for 5 days a week), but my work

just doesn't allow it. I've just spent 2 weeks in

crete doing it every day then I come back here and

immediatly work mad hours (Sunday - half a practise in the

morning the work until 2330, Monday work 0800 to 0030,

Tuesday work 0800 to 2345, Wednesday work 0830 to 0000,

Thursday filmed all day - 0630 start and day ended when I

fell in to bed exhausted at 0130). Now I'm not working

at home, I have to to the travel bit so I'm lucky if

I scrape 6 hours kip (and I NEED 8, honest!).

<br><br>So I'm lucky if I get to practise 3/4 times a week.

And I'm lucky if they are at a regular time. And

before anyone suggests doing it before I go to work,

I've tried. But I really need the sleep on these kind

of hours. <br><br>So my practice tends to happen at

infrequent regular intervals (nuffin'... five in a row...

nuffin, 4 in a row). I love doing it, and I love the

feeling it gives me, phyically and mentally, but oh boy

it ain't compatible with my life. <br><br>P.S I'm

pretty open on my profile, actually.<br><br>P.P.S And

don't gimme no crap about "if you spend less time

typing shite on this messageboard..." I do this when in

I'm edit suites, whilst my editor fannies around with

complicated music edits and can do without my usual

attention.

loulou, loulou, loulou,<br>thank you, thank you.

for a while there i was beginning to feel sorry for

myself, given all the time i spend away from the wife &

kids at work. compared to you, i'm a slacker. you and

plilpp323t (and you thought my moniker was clunky) should

get together for a session. he doesn't eat and you

never sleep. it would be The Practice by the Living

Dead. for such an avowed hedonist, how do you ever have

the energy or time for shaggin', much less yoga? ah,

to be young again, everything is possible. problem

is, doing it all takes away the youth--catch 22

okrgr1<br>I wish to say that you have totally

misunderstand about me .<br>I live in Athens and I like it .

Athens has the best night live. I often stay out for al

night and go straight ad work .<br>I work at list ten

or twelve hours a day .<br>Eating and drinking ,

excellent meals and having good time is my live .<br><br>We

start to live while we start to feel the sentiment of

each moment . The praxis of yoga methods helps to get

open . So I enjoy more of me life . But I do not

praxis often .<br><br>Philipp

Energy/time for shagging? <br><br>Chance would be

a fine thing....<br><br>Nah, seriously, tho' it

helps if you love yer job (which I do) and get energy

from that enthusiasm. Anyway, I only worked till 8pm

on Friday! Which meant tons of time for hedonism.

<br><br>And Sunsine, please don't worry for my health and my

sanity (love yer)... I may be a bit hyper now and again,

but I'm not one for doin' nothin. I actually get very

despondent if there isn't SOMETHING going on whether work,

play, yoga. <br><br>Inertia (to me) is toxic!

phillip, i didn't really think you were an

extremeist starving yourself into gandhi-like proportions

for the sake of a better yoga practice. i was

surprised that anyone had a constitution strong enough to

do their practice without any food for a couple of

days--i would probably keel over in one of the

prasaritas. i was just joking with blondie about playing the

edge of life since she had chided you about denying

yourself food. no offense intended to either of you.

Loulou,<br><br>Work (to me) is

toxic!<br><br><br><br>Is it odd that many of the people in this club who

do ashtanga also work long hours? Personally i'm

just the opposite: if there is too much going on, too

much to do, too many responsibilities, my system

crashes (like my computer). Ashtanga seems to balance me

out; it's usually the most work I do all day. That's

not to say I don't thrive on stimuli; I like vividity

and loud music as much as the next guy/gal, and I'm

an urbanite at heart, but when it comes to

work--believe me I'd rather do as little as possible. Luckily

for me, I'm an alien in a foreign land right now and

can't work legally. Great excuse eh?<br><br>check out
