today it is monday and really nice weather outside,
me I am feeling a bit mentally drained but at the same time happy and pleased.
it takes a lot of mental energy to teach longer workshops, wich you realize mostly in the evening and the day after, but never in a negative way [at least not for me yet ha ha]

so yesterday I was held this 7,5h full day workshop at a yogaplace in Norrtälje [kärleksudden]. it was 15 persons whom attended and they were all disciplined and focused during day. a quit nice and balanced group actually : )

  
so this workshop day included a longer morning practice, lunch with "living food" wich is actually even more strict and the knowledge of this way of making and eating food is used generally in the more famous concept of "raw food", if I understood it correctly.
I then led a 1h lecture about the foundations of yoga & modern yoga as it is today,
then a shorter technique part where I explained details of the surya namaskar and we then did sirsasana [headstand] and some variations of armbalance asanas. after a tea break I teached a second classic HathaYoga class with a longer final relaxation and short final mantra that we did together to nicely end the day together in spiritual way.

the day went by so fast, wich is usually a sign that it went quit good I hope.

on the way back home suddenly this short intensive rain & hailstorm like came from nowhere, so typical april weather here in Sweden. up & down all the time..
but we had the luck to have a really nice weather during the workshop so we could enjoy the view over the water from the big windows on this cape and that made it even more calm & nice.

today is "gaining back energy" day so quit relaxed, gonna take a walk in the sun and then I have a 90min yoga class to teach in the afteroon, usually a small group so that feels nice today.

AUM namah shivaya
