Alan - Actually, I came back from a one-week stay

in Italy only on Sunday, and I am still more dead

than alive trying to cope with the extraordinary heat

these days here in Germany. (Yesterday I felt like I

was suffocating at last.) So I watch very little TV,

and I go to bed early instead, as I am always tired.

I just see the news on ARD / ZDF / n-tv and that's

that. Too bad I almost always miss the yoga-related

transmissions on BR, the official channel of Astanga nation

Bavaria.<br><br>Seriously, I have a hard time already sticking to a regular

Astanga practice on these dog days. Since returning to

Germany on Sunday, I have managed to do no more than my

standard short form, i.e. surya namaskara A & B, baddha

padmasana, yoga mudra, panmasana, padmasana and uth pluthi,

plus 5 minutes in savasana. Sounds ridiculous, I know.

But for me it's enough already to make me sweat like

a pig. Padmasana just keeps dissolving; because of

the sweat my feet tend to slip away from my thighs,

so I always have to start again.

Actually, I find the heat is great for yoga

practice - positivley India-like - although not so good

for sitting in an office with ineffective air

conditioning, trying to think about designing software (or

about how to remove the arms of my chair so I can sit

all day in half padmasana)<br><br>In fact, the heat

and humidity are so good that I got my right toe for

the first time ever in ardha badha padma

paschimotanasana yesterday - might have to change the "hobbies"

entry in my profile soon (to janu C)

it must be really hot....of course the question

that comes up is are you heavyset? <br><br>You may

find it useful in a case of heat exhaustion to hold an

icepack on the head when lying down - it works miracles

in picking up the energy. I really enjoy practicing

on hot days because that's the only way i can get

good perspiration going, however outside of practice

heat feels like it boils my brain - that's when the

icepack works wonders.
