Guest guest Posted January 5, 2001 Report Share Posted January 5, 2001 My new year's yoga resolution is to do as full a practice as I can three times a week, no matter how tired I am or how big my belly is getting. I know that probably sounds kind of pathetic, but I did a full practice only three times in the whole MONTH of December. (So for anyone else out there who's been slacking, I hope you feel better after reading that!) It's a challenge, being gentle with yourself within this rigorous practice. BUT BY GOD I STILL LOVE IT.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2001 Report Share Posted January 6, 2001 I promised myself to try to practice yoga in as many mornings as I just can. I know that to wake up before 6 in the morning just to yoga isn't that easy promise to keep, but I'll try...<br><br>Also I promised to read the New Testament during this year in accordance with a reading calendar I have for it.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2001 Report Share Posted January 6, 2001 im resting a herniated disc at the base of my back so im doing v little yoga at the moment. still its interesting becasue ive startetd a little tai chi and im still doing some very chilled yoga (influenced by scaravati - spelling? i know very little about this but it seems to work wonderfully).<br><br>however injuries (im a devil for them - hamstring last winter. . . ) seem like yoga anyway. i desperately miss astanga but without a slow awareness this damn injury ain't going nowhere so i have to take it very easy. hopefully this will seep away some of the egotism that is attached to my yoga. im one of those tiresome people who are naturally bendy so im fairly compotent physically but hopelessly undveloped when it comes down to the real deal. its that damn mind of attach ment! im hoping that this year i can learn to do any posture with less pride, less hubris and more awareness.<br><br>thanks for all your postings, its a great way to keep the astanga fire burning in my heart. <br><br>ttfn x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2001 Report Share Posted January 6, 2001 My pipe dreams this year buzz on floating: Textbook Jump backs into "vinyasa up", and Jump throughs into "vinyasa down" straight-legged without crashing on the mat.<br><br>First-class handstands (if need be, second-class will also do) are on my wish list too.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2001 Report Share Posted January 6, 2001 Good question, I think my resolution is continue my quest to "peel" back the layers stuff around me that keep me from reaching my full potential. So that can include everything...healthy diet, meditation, yoga, being nice when my impulse is to not be, trying to think before I speak, not to hurt the ones I love. Just be an all around good guy.
