hotmail hang ups

Having major hang ups with hotmail right now. so mom, i just wrote you an email but couldn't send it. have it saved though, so it didn't get dissolved into hyper-space this time. Perhaps, hotmail network is down. i don't know. i will send it later.

So i'm enjoying my new room they moved me into in the ashram. its east facing and so sunny and gorgeous in the morning with so many happy birds. one of the best views in the whole place. I appreciate their efforts to keep me there. It seems like they want to keep me forever, they keep joking.

I am going to teach my last class (these two weeks have gone by fast) tomorrow and then take a break for one week before i leave town to go to another ayurveda course at Santosh Puri ashram. I'm sure you guys are losing track of all the ashrams i keep jumping back and forth to and from. Really there are just these two, essentially, these main two that i have spend most my time.

This morning my teacher's mother (teacher is back in canada now) braided my hair for me. She is such a beautiful lady. She calls me daughter.

Nothing exciting is happening day to day, that's why i haven't been writing.

My back has had another little flare up from jumping into teaching so soon after it has healed (will i never learn?) it is a tiny flare up compared to before and the rest of my back, muscles and constitution is stronger than ever so it will come back quickly, (once again). Each flare up is less bad than the last and each recovery i reach a higher level of health and strength. so that is good. I know it flared up this time because of teaching everyday everyday, and when i am teaching, i am jumping around, into and out of poses to demonstrate quickly and not doing the entire balanced sequence, of course, because most of the time i am walking around the room assisting and watching people, but this imbalanced way of moving was too much too soon for my beautiful back, so i will have to just cool my jets and slowly, slowly , this transition will be made. It is such a lesson in not rushing the bodies ability to heal. Its like trying to push the river.

I teach like a monkey, i'm here, i'm there, i'm jumping up onto the stage to show something and then coming down really quick to go help someone i see needs adjusting. Its really funny, actually, teaching is so different from actually practicing yoga.

so that is pretty much all that is happening exciting for me. just the teaching thing. i feel so blessed to have had this opportunity.... next step will be more learning, and getting ready to head for home (shopping, giving old clothes away, etc.) I can't believe in two months i get to come home. Life is wonderful.
