(Not) Eating Moderately in New Zealand

Fresh strawberries, bananas and blueberry jam on pancake.  

Thai Green Curry with Steamed Rice

Grilled Foccacia and Papadum with Salsa and Oil and Balsamic Vinegar.  My lunch before we went to the Abel Tasman National Park.

Fresh berries (Blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries) on yoghurt for breakfast!!!

Do I still need to wonder if I still couldn't grab my wrist in Marichyasana D?

Yoga... it's about living life in constant awareness... and enjoying simple pleasures in life.

From Grilled Veggie Pasta to Spinach Fritata... Stillness in Middle Earth

The chana dhal that I had in HK.

Grilled Veggie Pasta with Parmesan... first home-cooked dinner.

The fritata that I had for brunch at the Boadshed Cafe.

Practice was awesome this morning.  I placed my mat at the back row beside Connie's then I went out to empty the "bag".  When I got back my mat was already beside John's.  I didn't bother to ask who placed it there so I just stood at the top of my mat... in samasthitih... searched for stillness... and then started my practice.  Paul and John have different approaches to the ashtanga method.  I still lean towards what I learned from Paul but now that I'm here at Stillpoint, I will try to remember what John taught me when he was in Manila last year and practice his "style".  During this morning's practice, in parts where I wasn't sure of what he taught me, I simply did what I was originally taught.  It was still great!

Practicing beside John this morning was AWESOME!!!
