Saturday spapalooza and chinese ballet
I was busy today with indulging in massage-manicure-pedicure; cleaning the house and making plans for the week ahead. I need to finish some urgent work I took home, but there is still time.
My yoga teacher from Sun and Moon sent us this video, which is quite amazing. If the Chinese continue like that Russians will loose their position as the leaders in ballet dancing:

B-day and missed practice.
Having said that to myself, I started the new year of my life with not going to shala. I did not even practice at home. Instead, I took a looooong bath with vanilla-scented salts at 5 am this morning, then had a huge breakfast and came to work half hour late. I was dead tired yesterday, but now I am actually feeling good. I wonder if this is an auspicious beginning? Or is it a sign that I will continue to be a lazy bum the whole next year? Hmmm....

Damn you, UD!
I am meeting with Cranky today! I am so excited!
I took this picture from a Russian forum. Unfortunately, I do not know who the author is.

It was so foggy today! The white and pink blooming trees looked really pretty through the fog.
I hope to practice tonight at home. For some reason I am craving something different, not just primary. I might get one of the Yoga Synergy or Andrew Lappa's DVD's and practice with them. I remember them being very tough,and I wonder if I would feel any differently after 7 months of doing Mysore.

Back to normal, I think
I think I need to do some dieting or something. All that San-Franciscan sourdough made me too voluminous to bind even in Marichi D, which normally is not a problem. Supta Kurmasana was quite pathetic as well. Sigh.
Things have changed somewhat in our shala while I was away. I saw new people, some of them very strong practitioners. Interesting, how easy it is for me now to distinquish a “newbie” from an “oldie”, even if I look at them for a second or two. There was an Asian guy I have never seen (or noticed, which is possible since I am not wearing my glasses during practice), who jumped back while I was walking by. His jumpback was exquisite – effortless, slow and gracious. Then there was another new girl practicing next to me – gorgeous practice, very fluid and precise. The only thing which was weird – she had a tendency to moan in the poses. Not very loudly, but distinctly. Oh, well, nobody is perfect I guess. It was hard to say how far those two were in their practice, since everyone did a primary today.

San Francisco, continued
It is right next to the Financial District
Seagull population was not affected by the increasing food prices. These birds are enormous! First I thought that my sense of perspective suffered from the flight, but then a passing by tourist from Australia noted the same. He said " These birds have a wing span of pterodactyls! The gulls are much smaller in Australia"
