Day 42,43,44,45 - Desert Carols

Thursday, Day 42 - Morning Mysore

Friday, Day 43 - Friday Led Primary with Nea

Saturday, Day 44 - Home practice + deadly Christmas shopping

Sunday, Day 45 - Morning Mysore


This Happened. We sang carols in the desert and got cozy with hot tea and a real camel!! Sand dunes instead of snowy hills once again. I kind of miss Christmas in Canada. Kind of.

Day 40, 41 - Almost there

Day 40 - Mysore morning

I got to my morning mysore session at about 6am and I was the only one there for my entire practice!! It was nice having all the attention on me and even made me be more aware of the little things through my practice. I was completely absorbed in myself. My left shoulder has been a little annoying lately, but I think it's one of those things that go away as you keep practicing. Let's hope.

Shoulder pain is not a strange thing to yogis, it happens. Read more about it here.

Nea told me to bring my shoulders down and keep it engaged as I go through my Marichi sequence. Let's see where this goes.

I've been having an amazing week, but this day was the cherry on top.I was expecting a hard day at work but ended up spending the day in love with everything. I even got my nails did!  Last year, I had a day like this too. It sets the tone for Christmas. Endless love and a lot of baking.

Namaste xo

Day 41 - Mysore morning.

day 37,38 - Beyonceasana

Day 37: Mysore 6am
Day 38: Mysore 6am

And tomorrow is Full Moon Day aka No Yoga day.

I don't deserve a rest day to be honest. Even though my body is sore after the run this weekend, I feel a little spoiled. On that note, if you - like me- are obsessing with the new beyonce videos out there, she has been known to get her Ashtanga on with her gal pal Gwyneth Paltrow. Must be nice.

SO - fellow big bummed girls, get yo asana on.

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 8 - Off with the fairies today

Day 8
Home practice after a 12 hr work day. I'm in lala land. It's been a long week in Dubai!


Basically, If it wasn't for this 60 day challenge I put myself on, I would have not practiced today.

Namaste x

Day 5

Day 5

I don't know whether I slept through my alarm or if it never went off. So there went my morning practice. We had a Canadian visitor to be dropped off at the airport at 7am before heading to work - I doubt morning practice would have happened in retrospect.

I missed my old workplace a lot today after I went back to spend time with them this weekend. I felt so safe and loved around the families, kids and gays. Check them out here.

Mysore at 6.30 in the evening with swollen feet after an entire day in heels isn't all that fun. After a brief bout of energy -  I'm ready to put my feet up and zzzzzzz.
