Day 26

Day 27
No yoga day aka.
NEW MOON DAY! 

My plan was to make it to the beach with the rest of the yoga room crew to indulge in some sunrise meditation. I have never admittedly been this excited to meditate. I almost had to contain myself from calling people to spread the news.

And then- FOG happened. I woke up to a city engulfed in a cloud. It was so bad, and I got chicken. I couldn't get in my car at 6am and put in that much effort. Is it worth the danger? In a city filled with bad drivers? And Paul Walker's sad news lurked in my mind?

I'd rather just live (and sleep in)

But it's not all bad news, I just found out that the ultimate Ashtangi is coming to Yoga Room in 2014. KINO MACGREGOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to go and pinch myself now. What a dream!

Kino MacGregor is an international yoga teacher, author of two books, producer of six Ashtanga Yoga DVDs, writer, vlogger, world traveler, co-founder of Miami Life Center  and founder of Miami Yoga Magazine. Her YouTube channel reached more than 2 million views within the last year. She is one of a select group of people to receive the Certification to teach Ashtanga Yoga by its founder Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India and practices through the Fourth Series of Ashtanga Yoga.

Day 11

Full moon day - so we do not practice. 

I usually don't religiously observe this, but since I have taken up this commitment to my practice,  it might be my only opportunity for down time!

We had a lovely guided meditation. I thought I would reach somewhere deep, but that did not happen. My thoughts on love and happiness stayed pretty shallow on my boyfriend and Christmas! 

I can't wait to be able to begin a meditative practice at some point in my life! Vipassana maybe?

Today, I obsessed with Bed Peace- Jhene Aiko's track with Childish Gambino. I'm quite a big r&b/hiphop fan (sorry) .

Day 10 - Being Sober Sally, all.the.time.

Day 10

It was a friend's boyfriend's birthday thing last night at one of the most crowded over-rated beach bars in town. I'm starting to feel a little bit (okay, a lot) self righteous when I say I don't want to drink or party. But, I went, got a little grumpy and came home asap. I can't. I just can't.

And then I found this article - I'm not sure if it makes me feel better or worse.
Read this Article Here: Are you in the Ashtanga cult?

I identify with everything on that list - and every one of my friends should be nodding along right there haha.
Number 8 from that list is tomorrow!  :)

Rest well yogis xx

Namaste.
