It's been a long time since I've posted something here. But the fruits of ashtanga yoga I'm harvesting make me more and more enthusiastic about my practice. First of all - Chaturanga! I nailed it! Now it feels so nice and easy, I enjoy the work of muscles in my arms and can hover over the floor for 5 breaths and more, that's amazing feeling!

And something else - Shirshasana, or headstand. Technically, it's a handstand because you are only able to stand if you engage your shoulder strength. After two months of 4-5 days a week practice and with my teacher holding me or spotting for me, I'm now confident in my Shirshasana and can even do it without a wall behind me. That's a perfect example of how patience and constant practice bring you to amazing results.

The next aim is to reach my ankles in backbends. That doesn't feel very easy and once I'm in the bridge position I can only move my hands towards my heels just a little bit and picking off my hands feels somehow scary. I'll make sure to try again tomorrow.

Good news for me by the way is that I finally moved to my new room in a flat facing the main square of the city, and the yoga center is just 30 seconds of running :) I still have to buy some furniture because the room is completely unfurnished but I already imagine my happy life there. Until the moment I realize I need to go to Southern hemisphere or elsewhere, haha :) The room is very spacious measuring 17 square meters with a window, white walls and black carpeting on the floor. I'll make it looking very zen, or at least a bit zenish :)
