so today is sunday, for me just like any day it feels like now a days. 


I woke up, went out with the girls.
then off to my yogaclass at the gym, on the way there I got a call and talked to the european ashram I have contacted about a teacher course a Swami will have there in august.
so luckely I now have a spot at that 10day intensive course : )
so I have to look now for tickets etc to get there somehow ha ha

at the class today was only 12 participants, so it is slowly becomming less as usual when we come closer to the summer. next week is last time before summer break for my class there, I wont teach at the summer schedule there since I want to have a month off for holiday & to get some yoga inspiration for my self hopefully.

after class I went back home and ate a brunchtye of meal since no beakfast. then I semi watched the first of 3 soccer world cup games, that match was so sleepy that I ended up trimming my angels at the same time, they really needed it..
and now when summer, heat and theese nasty ticks come it is better to have their fur a bit shorter.

 




then just being at home relaxing and watching the much better second game of todays world cup.

at the same time finding some interesting info about this text that will be focused on at the course in august. read the blog before this one for example ha ha

so in less then 2 weeks I will go to Greece to arrange my yogaholiday there for the 14+2 persons how will attend this year, then probably home just for a day and then me & A will travel to India for 2,5weeks, the norht part.
so that is gonan be interesting for many reasons, weather [super hot & monsoon period], people [a huge festival so I hpe we will get rooms etc since millions of pilgrims will go to this holy cities to get water from ganges or something like that and of course to see if can find any good inspiring yoga & "theory" lectures there.

so I need to look all together for 6 airplane tickets now...
my bank account is so gonna be on minus using the bank credit, but in the end it will all be worth it - I just feel that in my stomach..
gonna try to onnect with some yoga connections & business connections in India t see if they can halp with findning accomondation etc. might be a good idea..

back to watching the 3-rd and best soccer world cup game today : )

I was searching around internet and found some about an old vedic text, one of the texts amongs 3 main ones about the principes of HathaYoga. 


this certain text/tradition/way emphasasis more towards the cleansing techniques "shatkarmas" or "kriyas" it seams.
and it is not the 8 steps as patanjalis "yogasutras"
[wich seams actually to be more of the mental aspects of older yoga compared to the more physical HathaYoga we in some kind of way do today]
but instead it follow 7 steps/limbs..
interesting.

anyway..
one of the cleansing methods under the tread "dhauti" - wich mainly focuses [with a few exceptions] on the digestive system.

one of the more unusual methods that I found was:

Bahiskrita dhauti
This is a very difficult practice unless you are an advanced hatha yogi. It involves standing navel deep in clean water, pushing the rectum out and washing it in the hands.

in one of the texts it says "It is not easily available even to the gods"...

strangely I couldn't find a picture of this?!?!
but maybe this sadhu has just done it, hi looks so proud ha ha
