Unemployed no longer

Okay, so technically I wasn’t unemployed..but I really was. I mean, I got the job with that marketing firm, but I haven’t heard anything from them in a while. So here I was, sitting around in Montreal feeling more and more down and less and less happy, and while that isn’t all resolved, [...]

Hot

I love yoga.
Took another 2/3 led tonight and was once again greeted by a substitute teacher…really liked her though. Class was brutal, didn’t follow the series, but for some reason I was okay with that today. We worked a lot on handstands and forearms stands, and we did a lot of backbending, and [...]

Mysore snob

Ugh, where to start? So I went to take J&E’s 2/3 class tonight at the shala. I got there and it turned out that someone else was taking the class for them, a teacher who’s new since I went away and thus I have never had before. After I signed in I [...]

In the wee small hours…

Sometimes it seems like everything has come crashing down….it hasn’t of course, and you know that with sleep and morning light will come clarity and maybe a smile, but for now the one place you want to be is the one place that you’re not allowed to go…
“When the sun is high in the afternoon [...]

Once more with feeling…

This is the second time I’ve written this entry. I wrote it the first time promptly affter I came home from yoga on Sunday, and then somehow, after I clicked the publish button something happened and it disappeared forever into the ether of cyberspace….so I shall start again.
Sunday morning I went back to the [...]

Back in the high life again

Here I am, back in Montreal. I’ve arrived. I’m so happy to be here. The city in the summertime. Marché Jean-Talon adrift in a sea of ruby coloured raspberries. St. Denis is dotted with tiny cafe tables. The fan on my desk is blaring to combat the humid heat, [...]

Happy Birthday to me!

Today I turn 22 (Cancer with Sagittarius rising, that’s so me), and my grandma would have been 93. Not really doing anything special today: going out for dinner tonight with my family, and I had multiple family celebrations over the weekend (when you have two sets of parents you automatically end up with multiple [...]

Action

I feel like I haven’t been doing everything that I should be doing. I went to Asia for four months, toured around, saw a lot that I never could have seen in the West, practised a lot of yoga and then came home. And I feel like since I’ve been home it’s been [...]

Non-Attachment

I am so devastated. I was just on the Ashtanga Montreal webpage, and I discovered that the changes that were underfoot have indeed taken place. It seems that while I was off gallivanting in Asia things at the Montreal shala were in transition. Meg was lucky enough to take class with Darby [...]

Life in the Kingdom of Boredom…

I am so bored. Bored, bored, bored. I have nothing to do, so my mum’s been giving me chores to do around the house: sorting and rolling the gazillions of coins we’ve been collecting in this gigantic bowl over the past couple years, cleaning mildew off the balcony, cleaning the mirror-bathroom (the WHOLE [...]

So it’s been awhile. I kind of feel like a fraud now being on ashtangi.net since due to my stupid tendon injury I won’t be doing much yoga for awhile (trying to still do some slow sun sals, with bent knees in uttanasana, and some finishing), but nonetheless, I’ll continue to ramble on about [...]
