Changes

Huh, I haven't written for quite a long time. I'm not sure about the reason for my writing-reluctance, probably I am not a writer, but ok, I'll try again.
I went on with my usual morning practice, yesterday I practiced up to Navasana. It would be great if I could manage to extend the morning practice this way. But it took me over an hour though I skipped most finishing poses. Hm, we will see if I can squeeze in my morning schedule so much practice time. The practice felt very good yesterday. This week the weather is very hot, up to 30° C and in the mornings it is still about 25°C in our appartement, so practice was a very, very sweaty thing. I also did Urdhva Danurasana in the end and it was very hard. I haven't practiced it in the morning very often so I was surprised about how bad it was. Also a reason why I should extend my practice.

In the evening I had a very interesting conversation with my boyfriend about Yoga, Yoga-Philosophy, Yoga in India and the differences to Yoga in the western world. I would really like to summarize it for you but it was so long and also deep that it seems impossible to express it this way. I was astonished that he has such a well considered opinion about this topics. You have to know my boyfriend is not a Yogi, at least not yet perhaps he will start to be one ... who knows? In fact he had never shown very much interest for it but this has definitly changed recently. He even began to have interest in practice and actually we practiced together twice. It is so great that I can share now a little bit of this part of my life with him. I hope this development will continue!

Thankyou Tracy, you are so right.
I've always imagined how good it would be if I could share my Yoga with him especially as it is so important for me. We've made some steps in this direction.
Best wishes,
Bettina
