Tuesday's musings

Everyday begins with a sprinkle and gray skies. But the sun always dominates the weather scene. This morning at the pool we got soaked, but in 10 minutes all was fine.



Today I am enjoying two yoga classes for a total of nearly four hours. This morning a new teacher, Carole. Sweet Sweet sweet! She suggested we dedicate our practice to someone. So Jo'an all that sweat and radiance goes out to you. Get Well! Our teacher has some great new poses.The hula cow and the swimming cat. Also a balance pose called "The Crucifixion'. The elbows start under the knees which climb onto the shoulders. Then an arm goes under a leg and the palms are outstretched in mid air. One leg is extended onto tippy toes and I can't say where the other leg went :-) I was all eyes
(What eyes I have left.)
Carole was bubbly and loving sending every person off with a smile, hug or compliment.

"Namaste. . . we invoke the higher qualities of ourselves and others; lovingkindness, truth, honor and compassion. In this way we increase these qualities in our world."

We picked up burritos (to go with the ginger lemonade) at the Kiluea Fish Market and settled onto Anini Beach. Dan loves to bob in the bay and I inked a drawing I began at the pool this morning.

Now it's time to return to the Yoga Hanalei's Relax Deeply class. Dan is sous cheffing for Honu Chicken. Slicing pineaplle, red onion and a collage of sweet peppers ginger and garlic. Toss in a little cashew and rooster beak ( Kidding) and voila, Dinner will be served at eight.

Musings from Bhavai. . . The yoga poses teach us about our Attitude.
"cooking the pose means we tap into pressure points." We see what bubbles up. . .
The pose didn't create the pain, the pain was already in you.
Be both the ear and the hearing.



This pose was really hard. Cross your ankles and bring your feet and toes together. Cook this for 5 minutes ( And then cross the other way.) You must engage the bandas to lift the body off the feet and breathe.



See this lovely moon and star dancing overhead. Rejoice!
Namaste
