Another week has passed. Where does the time go?
I don’t want to slide into shop talk but did have a very busy week at work. I am getting better at remembering the names of all the folks I am meeting. I am so awful with names, but I almost never forget a face.
I found an Anusara Yoga Studio. WOO HOO! (Anusara means “flowing with Grace”) I am thrilled about that. I was really missing my practice in a class atmosphere. My home practice is not very focused or structured…mmmm…that sounds like me. The yoga studio is brand new and right in the middle of Charing Cross. I went to a two hour Anusara workshop on Friday night. It was great! I am a bit sore today. We did Urdhva Dhanurasana (backbend) several times. It is one my favorite poses.
The first time I went to the studio, I took the tube and came up in the middle of Trafalgar Square. How cool is that? The House of Commons is also right there. I took the bus home which although it takes a bit longer, it helps me get a perspective on where I am. Taking the bus home, we passed Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Street. Oxford Street is the ultimate High Street…if you will. Every borough and town in the UK typically has a High Street. I think in the US we would compare it to Main Street USA type of thing. They are actually called High Street usually preceded by the town or borough name.
I had planned to go to Stratford Upon Avon this weekend but didn’t make it because my crate arrived on Friday with 18 boxes, my bed, and my bike. I am making good progress putting it away but far from done. I sure have a lot of clothes and shoes and I purged lots of them before I left KCMO.
Happy Sunday after Easter! I hope everyone is enjoying springtime wherever you are located.
