Setting A Pace

The last few weeks have been a little up and down. Don't get me wrong, I am loving my new lifestyle away from the restrictions and politics of a huge establishment. I like to be organized, overly so. I have daily to-do lists, all is jotted down in my diary. These last few weeks have been a great learning process for me. I've been offering private trials for English classes. Never knowing who I was really going to meet, what level they were at and were they going to like my lesson? Then there is the studying. Goal setting for my diploma. When do I want to finish this module by? My yoga. I like my own practice, but I appreciate the guidance of my teacher. Which class to go to? So, I've been trotting along, sometimes at a fast pace then other times a little slower. Hitting my head occasionally and taking a few steps back. But this last week...... ..... has fallen into place beautifully. I have 10 private students, all of who take classes on Mondays and Tuesdays. Occasional schedule change here and there, but nothing that sends me out of sync and frantically erasing times and things in my diary, I go to Mysore classes in the morning. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays I study with extra reading when travelling on trains. I practice asanas at home if I have time and am in the mood. Evenings I go to vinyasa. I have a juice or smoothie when I'm at home- all other times my bag is filled fruit, nori and veggies to munch on whilst out. I'm hoping to start teaching kids yoga later this year and had loads of ideas, then the acroyogis hit Tokyo and now my head is buzzing with creativity. My dance workshops just came together let a beautifully piece of chreography. Have decided a name for my raw company. My raw thing is spreading, there is interest, so will be running my first workshop this summer. My yoga teacher wants me to start teaching when I return from Thailand. My heart is open, my shoulders relaxed, there's no gripping in my jaw. I no longer need to refer to my diary twenty times a day. I mentally know my to-do list and does it really matter if I don't get the apples to day? This is my yoga off the mat.
