Its much easier to do a led class

Friday's led was nice and very useful, although at some point I was really physically tired (not just the normal whining-tired). It must be the day of work taking its toll. The Teacher M (it's another one) kept reminding us about bandhas, which is exactly what I need now, since I decided to start thinking about them!

M said after the class that my practice has changed enormously since she has seen me the last time. I believe that. I feel that since the May workshop with Chuck Miller and Maty Ezraty (they are so famous and excellent so there is no use keeping them "anonyme". If you have a chance to go to their workshop somewhere, do go!), having put everything I had learnt so far in little pieces and since then, rebuilt everything with a considerable effort, must show somewhere. We had like 3-hour primaries after the workshop, putting every little finger and muscle in its place in each asana... The quality of the practice is now so much better, and it feels better as well. And it is healthier and safer, and I feel confident that it is possible to build on this practice without any danger. So many people hurt their knees and backs, it is a shame.

Yesterday was a day off, and this morning I did the litte sun salutations routine: 3As, 3Bs, little forward-bending and little upside-downs. And now I'm going to that nice Sunday-afteroon jin class.
