falling in love again

I have fallen in love with yoga again, even with ashtanga.

Been starting over again with my practice. This time I'm taking other classes as well, just to balance out the demanding rigors of ashtanga. A normal and basic hatha class, and a yin class. It was nice. I have accepted the fact that my ashtanga practice will never be the same - never be able to do the same finishing sequence again. But I think this is what my yoga means to me. A means of self discovery and development, a practice where I can find a balance between loving my self, honoring my body and respecting my capabilities.

I have asked and researched and this is what I deduced:

Never an unsupported shoulderstand again. I have to do it propped on a blanket.
Half plough pose.
Knees to head, supported.
Lotus supported.
Fish supported.


All this until my neck are healed. Maybe in March.
