I love Tuesdays

I just love the freedom of not having to race down to Shala X. I still get there at about the same time, but without all the drama. And I get my adjustments from Mrs. Sir, aka Madam, which is always a pleasure.

Well, not exactly "pleasure". How can it be pleasurable to have your nose pushed into your left shinbone while your arms are binding your right knee to your chest by clasping behind your back?

Ah, Mari A, how I fear thee these days. I know it is somehow related to knowing that all of the poses in which the shoulder needs to find its way out in front of the knee are coming up sometime, if not soon, then, well sometime in the future. Have others noticed the relationship between Mari A and Kurmasana? Both seem to be driven by a similar action/energy.

Anyway, I am feeling energized and thrilled that I am feeling no pain in my back or anywhere else for that matter, so I am going to bake some righteous maple spelt muffins now. Later, my friend K is coming over for lunch - a vegetarian stir-fry with steamed jasmine rice. Yum.
