Dru Yoga Cape Town

I love the sea !!!

I was thinking the other day about all the things I have done. Believe me I have done a lot of different things, but most of them I have done on my own. It's really hard to be manage everything as a creative persons - prosecuting work, marketing, accounts, sales etc. Which made me realise that, although being a yoga teacher encompasses all that too, at least there is a supportive group around me. I have learnt so much and I can always ask, on a group, or a particular person.
Here's a photo of the network of Dru Yoga teachers around the world. I'm the little pint the bottom of Africa!

I was doing Surya Namaskara (Sun Sequence), the other day, starting, as we do, in Tadasana (Mountain Pose) and this image came into my head of the mountain underneath the sun. It is from a picture book by Ximo Abadia - The Mountain.
The perfect image to have in your head!

.norman do you know his work?

Garudasana or the Eagle Pose is one of my favourites, but not everybody's! If your legs refuse to do a pretzel then you could try and use a block or 2 to rest your foot on. Bring the backs of the hands together instead of doing a pretzel with your arms!
I find that this is really helpful for one of my students who has had 2 knee ops. Give is a try and see how you go. Use the breath to relax into it.

I love the Black Oyster catchers, who are a bit hard too see here, but they spend a lot of time on the rocks near my house.
They are endemic to Southern Africa and have pretty red beaks and legs We sometimes hear them squeaking to each other at night. They make the sound of those rubber ducks which squeak if you press them!
Practicing yoga outside makes one so much more aware of the natural environment, most particular birds, as wherever you live there are bound to be birds even if they are just pigeons. Birds are our closest connection to wild animal life in urban areas. One has to admire there ability to adapt to environments. Even pigeons!

Happy Women's Day! I hope you are all having a wonderfully self-indulgent day! In Cape Town the wind is doing entirely as it pleases.....

I still have space in tomorrow's free class at Stonehurst Mountain Estate at 9 am. Contact me if you'd like to extend that self-indulgence into the morning! This is open to residence of the estate and non-residents.
