Wandering Mind

Yeah, catchy title, I know. First let me say thank you to all the people that sent me good house selling energy. Yesterday and today went really well. Even though there was a typo that listed an open-house that isn’t (well, wasn’t) supposed to be. My agent listed an open house for yesterday and today but really only meant it for yesterday so I’ve been showing the house this afternoon. People seem to wait until I’m in the middle of something else before they arrive. I know I sound a little bitter, but I’m really not. The more I show the house, the more likely I am to sell it for what I’m asking (or more!). And it’s nice talking to new people and have them compliment the work I’ve done on the house. And of course I’m assuming they are being completely genuine because it makes me feel better. I’ve had one couple that was here yesterday come back today and they are coming back again tomorrow. If I can just get a couple more that interested we might be able to get a bit of a bidding war… I’ve had a total of twenty people/couples come by in the last two days with quite a few of them feigning interest. We’ll see.

Yoga, yoga, yoga. I didn’t practice yesterday intentionally as an off day but I still taught my class. It was a good class and I kept it simple. I tried to slow it down a bit. I seem to rush it much like I do my own practice (which I am working on slowing down…) I started to get a little choked up during savasana realizing that I only had one more Primary Class to teach, I have a feeling next Saturday is going ot be pretty tough. I warned them, too, that I will be doing my longer led meditation savasana so if they want to bring ear-plugs…

This morning’s class was good. We focused on the breath again but this time it was about lengthening and evening out our breathing. I tried to get them to breath on the 4 count I mentioned the other day. They did really well with it and I asked them about it after class and they all claimed it was helpful…(once again, I’ll just assume…) We played with headstand a bit. I really think I need to learn a better way to teach that pose, I had a hard time getting a couple of them to understand the shoulder and neck alignment. We were just doing prep poses so theoretically the feet were never supposed to leave the floor (or wall) but I had one woman that kept trying to kick up and I had to tell her around three times to stop because she didn’t have here neck/spine aligned… and I also had to point out that we never kick up into headstand anyway. If you can’t lift into it, you’re not ready to be doing it.



And on a completely unrelated note; I have to post these pictures, they're just too cute not to... This is Darwin (the gray one) and Helen (With the white chest)

It's nice I can share my rug for other's savasana...

And on another unrelated note; summer solstice is nearly upon us...
