Went to a yoga session this morning, after inquiring about the yoga flyer at the guest house. The Yogi came down to meet me in the morning and we walked to the studio. Apparently morning time is best for yoga, before you eat etc...
In the practice, I was happy to see some of the poses were the same as I had learned before (cat pose, triangle pose, for you fellow yoga goers) and some new ones: Frog and lion pose. There are as many yoga poses as animals on earth, my new instructor explained.
I did have some trouble with his Nepali accent during the class. It took my about 15 minutes into the class to figure out "focus on your bread" was actually "focus on your breath". I thought he was referring to the meal I would be having after the class...... "Bend to the west" was really "bend at the waist", which made a lot more sense....I couldn't figure out why we were "bending to the west" in several different directions. Anyway, I going to try it again tomorrow before I head off to the village. Maybe next time I can work on that "quiet your mind" thing.
