Guest guest Posted August 30, 2001 Report Share Posted August 30, 2001 Gravity calls and I had to answer. For the first time during this course I couldn't hold on to all of the Navasanas. Even though my mind battled my legs started to slowly and inevitably decend towards the floor. Same thing in Uth Pluthih, I had counted 15 slow breaths, Guruji was up to 5 and taking a pause, and I had to let it go. Shame on me. <br><br>My only comfort is that I wasn't the only one feeling powerless. Yesterday we had a picnic in Suomenlinna that is an old castle & a fortress built on a large island. So, sitting for four hours under the searing sun saps away some strength, right. But it was nice, good people, good weather, and good food. Guruji & entourage also came for a visit, which was nice. <br><br>But the sunshine was just the prelude, since after that a couple of dozen of us went to a Sauna. I believe that the hot and moist heaven was the true culprit, since it is very relaxing to the muscles. <br><br>This morning on a national tv-channel they aired a 5 minute insert about the workshop. It is great that this event gets media coverage (3 newspapers, fourth underway, and a national tv-channel so far.) Yours truly got also his 15 seconds of fame when the camera zoomed on me in Marichyasana B - the pose, coming up, vinyasa back, and cut.<br><br>I am looking forward to tomorrow because of the joint practise. Even though doing the series up to Navasana has been enough to totally blow me away, it shall be a great experience to do up to where I normally do (Upavistha Konasana) under Gurujis supervision, and perhaps try and tackle the rest of the series while I am at it... the 5 remaining ones are quite easy after all those wicked twists.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2001 Report Share Posted August 30, 2001 Cynxir, could you please tell me in which papers there have been articles about Guruji? I read the article in Metro-lehti, but I haven't noticed anything in Helsingin Sanomat so far, and I haven't actually even looked through Ilta-Sanomat or Iltalehti.. So the exact dates would be nice and page numbers pure luxury.. I can check those at the library.. <br><br>Thanks, Inermis.. (I wrote in english so I wouldn't be too impolite..)
