Holidays almost over

Puh, my last holiday practice is over and it was a good one. I went until Bhujapindasana, then Urdhva Dhanurasana and finishing positions. Recently I started working more on my hamstrings, what means that I do very gentle passive hamstring stretching twice a day. It seems that this has some influence, during the last two practices my hamstrings felt quite sore and also there was some pain in several poses. Hmm, obviously something is working down in my legs, if this is good or bad I cannot say ... but I keep going on for now.
I had some very nice practices in these holidays, it's so good to have enough time and to do everything that is coming up your mind during practice. Tomorrow again speedy pre-work-practice *sigh*.

Until next week I have to do some stand-in jobs in our local Yoga Shala. I'm rather insecure and afraid because of this. Like always I have been pushed into it without real desire to do it. It's a favour I'm doing the owner of the Shala who is travelling. I would have no problem with counting some people through fundamental Ashtanga positions, but there are also Shivananda lessons and I don't have any clue about Shivananda Yoga. *Sigh* But it is as it is, I have no choice now and since it is only a stand-in job I hope the people won't expect some professional perfect lessons. I'm going to attend a Shivananda lesson tomorrow just for being able to copy something at least.
