Umm just a little bit cold

Hiloooo, it's the snowman talking. On the way to yoga my eyelashes were frozen in like 15 seconds. I hate to complain about cold, and about my favorite city in the whole world. So I am saying no-no-no-nothing.

The Parivrtta Trikonasana (Revolved Triangle Pose) and Parivrtta Parsvakonasana (Revolved Side Angle Pose) were not so difficult today. Ah my yoga place (ashtanga yoga berlin) is just amazing. It's the coziest yoga place I have ever been to. And every teacher is just amazing and I think part of the coziness is created by them. From one day to another, I cannot believe how much improvement in my asanas can be created.  Today there were so many corrections for my asanas, I was dead tired when I came up to marichyasana c. But I feel like, my inner organs were squeezed and cleaned by all the movements that were completely done.

Oh the paper was finished yesterday, and it was the summation of the whole work I have done so far, it feels good to have everything compact in one place... Just need to proof read it and send to the department. Lucky me. It's the first time I am finishing something before its deadline..

Cold...

There is a fake sun which cannot make the weather warmer than -1 C degrees and it was snowing yesterday, so today every little piece of water is frozen.. But the yoga place was warm warm warm... Warm and radiant even though it was incredibly cold and dark outside. The moon was still beaming when I was about to finish my sun salutations which was a bit ironic, don't you think :)..

Nowadays

That's how my day was today.. Yoga practices are so good nowadays. My bellowed academic adviser, once upon a time, told me that it's not the practice that makes perfect, it's the controlled practice.. And it's so true. Everyday in Mysore classes, I learn at least one tip that makes a move easier, better, more fun. Did I tell you that my instructors are great in Ashtanga Yoga Berlin? Well you might hear it more :) Never seen such group of nice and fun people together.. My favorite pose is the above one nowadays, bhujapidasana...It's quite fun when your head touches the ground.

And today I attended my first beach volley practice. It felt amazing to be running all around in the marvelous, thin sand in this gloomy and cold weather (of course it's an indoor beach center :)

It's full moon tomorrow and no practices... I was so tired when I got home, I fell asleep at 9pm and of course now I am up fully awake (It's 2 am, sigh..) And I have got so much studying to do tomorrow, hope that goes well.
