4th week - whatever works...

After my post-Istanbul-break-down (candidate for "word of the week"! ;-) ...), I found myself very willing to do yoga on Monday, but still not good enough to take on the long bike-ride to my very favourite yoga studio in town. So, I decided to be pragmatic...

I booked 10 days at the yoga-studio next door - which is literally only 3 minutes walk from my apartment. It's PERFECT! I put on my yoga-clothes (no, we yoga-teachers don't wear them all day long ;-) ...), grab my mat and enjoy the yoga next door!

I find, that very often in yoga, we come to a point where we have to or want to let go of our ideas about how we do things. Did I think, I'd go to my favourite studio and meet friends and catch up? Of course! It just didn't work - so, I just did, what I could!
In yoga, we do, what we can. We start from where we are, not from where we should be. "Should" is the place that gets you in trouble (or even injured!), "Are" is the place that brings peace and quiet.

Where are you today?

The poses for this week are exactly the poses of last week - so, no new pics. ;-)
