Good Things 15/07/12
Dancing that leaves you breathless and elated. A new dress the colour of Indian ink. The next 21 day meditation challenge Free to Love from The Chopra Centre (starts tomorrow!).

This Thing Called Life
Last night I danced with my beloved. His hand pressed tightly against the small of my back. The room blurred and unfocused as our spinning disorientated and thrilled me.

My first thoughts at adopting savasana – or corpse pose, as it’s also known – were not entirely positive. However, this whole yoga thing is still so very new to me, that I knew that I owed it to myself to give up any judgements I may have about the practice, or my capability to achieve half the positions I had committed to attempt. I’ve surprised myself with how quickly I’ve grown into my practice. How, after even only one week, it’s now become…
