My passion for practicing Ashtanga yoga only allows to live a simple life. My priority in the morning is my yoga practice. Nothing else. Then comes the rest, whatever this is.
It’s so important to focus. Otherwise one is pulled in so many different directions.
Also next week I’ll focus on back bending. Yesterday night I couldn’t fall asleep. I thought of all the back bending asanas. There are so many variations. I got up and checked the book by Matthew Sweeny. I so wanted to know what are the back bending asanas of the Advanced A and B series. I forgot them. Some asanas will be impossible for me. Others are very interesting. I practice them already. What I’ve not yet tried is eka pada kapotasana. Elbow bridge is a great variation of the classic bridge. It stretches the upper body, but is easier to hold.
Even when I focus on back bending there are so many different asanas to practice and to explore that I have to make choices. One asana at a time. One breath at a time. One task at a time.
We all have 24 hours. We all need to sleep.
I wish everybody an intensive weekend.
