hm... I think today is actually only 50 days until christmas I have about 6 weeks more only of teaching yoga classses this year.. strange!

and it is also today 100 days until the next winter olympics he he.

today we re-aragned some in our shop at buddha spa, also we now got up the new products we got, some organic soaps, herbal bath bags, lip balm etc..
we have also 3 new shelves so the shop corner looks even better now, and it feels so nice to being able to slowly make our place better and better and best of all the feeling of all apprichion from our "customers", lovely!

since only 50 days left we are making sure we have some things for people who wants to make small christams kit to give away, we now from before that many wants to build some small kits and sometimes include some gift voucher of some spa treatmentc.

I am actually planning to do a "before christmas" pre sale offer on a bounch of products in my web yoga shop, a fun thing for them who wants buy gifts to a better deal a bit before christmas, also if I sell some things it might mean I can get in some new interesting things for upcomming year. time wil tell!

sitting in front of my laptop, it is past midnight.
I should go to bed and I will soon, I has felt a bit tired today almost like something is up, maybe my body is fighting som cold or so?
right now I am in a relaxed nice mood listening to some old power ballads. they are truly underestimated he heit is like doing a job and being a professional but it is not really a job, it is more a passion..
but perhaps one of the reasons I am able to e where I am is that I take this seriously, me teaching yoga is fun but it is not for fun I do this.. make sence?
as with everything you do I guess you feel different almost each time. I mean I really like what I do ohterwise I would have been working at a regular job or so. but even for me who has my dream as my occupation some days feel heavier etc. sometimes I am a bit less focused or almost like pressing the recorder on play and let i just play.

I enjoy teaching and equally I do love being inspired by others who can teach me something, but if something that I like or find interesting.
that is siminlar to yoga in some ways for me, I mean I teach my way, the way I feel and belive in, I am not interested in changing or making everybody happy. there is a choice for each and all, if you like my version you are wellcome to join. and if not that is normal, then you find some other teacher that you feel are in your phase/line of thinking instead.
when I was less experienced I felt all the time pressure to make all happy when teaching he he. but now for each season I find myself doing less modifications at all to be more open for all. interesting.
but still for me yoga is not to make it difficult [as my participants know], it is more about experience feel: the effect of the breath during a challenging asana, or learning to lead your body into a deeper relaxation and collect your mind, or the everyday life improvement by beathing more correctly etc.

anyway, today was one of those classes when afterwards suddenly at home I just felt "I just love teaching yoga!", I cant put my finger on exactly why today I got that feeling. maybe the energies, maybe how I feel generally right now, maybe the group I had today or maybe the class just went good, or maybe because I tought the whole class in english basicly? I have no idea, and I dont really care..

I am just enjoying the fact that I do "for a living" something I love doing..

hm.. today has just run by but it feels I havent done that much, spent the first part of the day working from home, making some flyers and updating buddha spa's site etc.
just many things that takes time in the end, had lunch and packed some orders mad to my yogashop and went to the post office to send them
then of to the yogastudio to teach a class at 3.30pm a small class, but I really like the none prime time classes wich are allways a small group.

I realize this term is just a few weeks more, then it is christmas break. and hopefully a holiday trip for me to India. I am looking for tickets and so but so expensive since I can basicly only travel when everybody alse can, and that is also the easiets period to get some one to take care om my angels.

I found a course that I might wanna take in april, but then I got an e-mail today that my yoga friend from Singapore will come and visit me around that same dates ha ha
it gonna be fun to have her here, hopefully she can do some guest teaching aswell. also see how she will react since quit different here from her side of the world.

she said she can stay in my place on her own the first 6days if I'm gone at the course, and she will still be here for 2 weeks after I return, but it feels unpolite to go away when she comes form so far away.
hm I will have to think about this some..

tomorrow it is early bird for me, going to open up the studio 6.40am since it is a KundaliniYoga class tomorrow at 07.00 then do some peperwork preparing papers for the account wich we were suppose to do earlier.

Mimmi is playng next to me in the couch, she wants to "bite" my finger..

tomorrow evening about 13 hours after wake up call I am teaching my 105minute Hatha/Sivananda class wich is an intermediate level class. wich basicly mean you got to have some experience, it is not that much more advanced, but a bit tougher.
long day tomorrow so time soon to go to bed..

today is halloween I guess,
for me it is not any different day form any other saturdays though.

at the moment sitting in the "tea bar" at my buddha spa place, started the day her byteaching an 105min Hatha/Sivananda yoga class.
it was a calm class with a relaxed feeling and one totalyy new participant. new ones have a tendency to not being able to find calmness in challening positions and for that reason often come out of the asana a bit quicker, but that is fine we all have to start slowly and also learn to understand our bodies.

just finnished my "breakfast" at 1.30pm,
I was a bit hungry after class so I made a portion of our eco fiber porridge with ayurvedic spices, topped it with som cinnamon roasted apple pieces and ricemilk, had a glass of biodynamic juice and enjoyed with some ginger cookies. yummi!

now is my shift here between 12-15, then I have a Siam treatment to give at 3pm, after that we are gonna do som e admin work and prepare economy etc for our account.
so a quit long day here probably, but it is okey and aslo i dont need to feel a shame I dont have anything to give the trick or treat kids running around all houses ha ha ha

sitting by my low livingroom table, just been out with the girls and it is really starting to get colder out there.. brrrr.
today I am "off" wich means I dont have any yoga classes, the only day of the week I dont teach. but I am never totally free, I think when you have your own company and really like what you are doing the mind is allways spinning with ideas, and the days you are off you feel relaxed and often then I do the small things that need to be done or also I feel a bit more creative so I will do develope new ideas ha ha

I decided to start my morning now with some herbal tea, I stood there in front of my jars wit different kinds and went for Faskomilo again, wich is an greek sage tea. it has a special taste wich I am used to from when I was younger I think, when you put some honey into it it is really nice. the honey I got at home is straight from the bee-farmer as it is an relative to my greek family side he he.

LUXURY!

if you read the tag wich was on the plastic bag when I bought them it says that it is an excellent tonic that fights fatigue and helps recovery & digestion, it also says great for people who suffers from sweating, when I red that I thought perhaps this might be good then for pitta people like myself who are often more hot etc? interesting..

yesterday it was decided the last details, so I sent out the invitations in the evening to our upcomming "buddha evening" wich will be in the line of buddhist teachings & meditation.
I think & hope it is gonna be a lovely relaxed evening and already when I checked my e-mail now a few bookings had come and they also wanted the meal [homemade channa-korma] that we offer for a cheap price.

soon I think I am gonna go to buddha spa and do some own practice, then do some small arrends and then back home to perhaps change some things in my apartment I have been thinking about.

yesterday I had a "discussion" with one of the yoga teaches hee at buddha spa, we both felt slightly less tied, and agreed it has to be because of the time change, that hour of extra length we get, and the little bit brighter monings etc.

but dispite that fact, this moning it was very dark at 06am when I went up from bed, and when me and the girls [Mimmi & Lillemor] left for the subway at 06.20 it was not with joy.. it was dark, it was raining and with all [ok quit beautiful] yellow leaves everywhere it starts to become a slippery mess on the walking paths.
  

so today I felt "for sure I need to see if I can get away even if a shorter trip" ha ha

today is tuesday and the reason for me being up so early is that I need to open up budha spa for the Kundalini yoga class on tuesdays, then after the class if I am not to tored I am gonna do some own practice, then back to home for breakfast.
at 3pm it is time to get back since today is "my day" at the studio, today also I teach a Hatha/Sivananda "intermediate" 105min at 19.15,

so quit a looooong day.

last days have been a lots of upsn´downs it feels like.. 

this is how I work most of the time if I really want something:
if it comes to a stop or as for me this time to an "No" because of a special byrochracy or rule making, first feel a bit sad of course, and this time since someone first said yes and got my hopes up and then...

but after a short while I tell my self that probably this happend for a reason and now I need to see me around for other alternatives for me that probably becomes better then the one I didn't got to do or so. in other words destiny will lead me to something else, and as long as you help destiny by looking, asking etc probably a way you didn't even know or at least think about will show up.

already I have found some interesting things and persons that I will look a bit deeper into and "evaluate" by mostly using my gut feeling.

interesting!

also at the moment I am thinking of going away this winter for a 2-3 week trip, just cant decide wich I want most and also I need to see if can afford it and look for a dog watch. I have wrote about this earlier in my swedish version blog, but.. and now since this happend I might have both a few less & new opportunities to think of..

so looking for tickets & dates to see if anything interesting will show up and perhaps see that as a small signt where to go and what to do he he

today I did my yoga practice, I have had a paus since I have somehow strained my wrist, but I just felt I NEED TO

so I did an 90min practice but without sunsalutations and put more focus on inner awarnes, pranayama and my asanas I chose to do some where I didn't need to put any weight or stress towards my left hand. and after my "final relaxation" I did a shorter 10 minute meditiation and ended with chanting AUM, AUM, AUM - AUM poornamada poorna... etc Mimmi has really learned, they lie there bot of them most of the time on a blanket in the yogastudio, but them moment I start to do the chanting in then end Mimmi runs to me and starts to lick me like crazy since she knows that this is when I am done, and she can after 90-120 mins [usually] of waiting finnaly come to me and my yoga mat

alll day after the practice have felt so good, looking forward to a mild similar one tomorrow.
