Kate Taylor's Yoga Site

Just a quick entry about my practice this morning. I slept through the night and woke up and had a cup of coffee (yes, coffee). I have been drinking masala chai tea in the mornings but I have been pretty sleepy most days so I thought I'd go for the coffee today. Not sure if it made a difference, but I had a great practice.

When I got to Marichyasana D I waited for Saraswati to come help me, as usual. She helped me into the pose on the right side and I was able to bind and sit up pretty straight without too much trouble. She commented that this was good and then waited for me to do my vinyasa before I did the left side. This time she was able to help me get my hands to reach and grasp each other for the first time on the left side...and when she let go I did not fall out of it. Wow! She smiled and commented that this was very good and told me that tomorrow I should do bhujapindasana!!! Double wow.

You may remember that I had debated asking for a new pose in one of my recent postings. After talking to someone who has been here for a while, I decided that I would wait until she suggested a new pose rather than ask...seems that is the proper etiquette and obviously the humbler path (which I am working hard to follow). What a wonderful surprise it was when she gave this to me today.

I think I'll have coffee again tomorrow.
