I sometimes dream of going to Mysore. Mysore, India, that is, the home of the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute. I have been an Ashtanga practitioner off and on for the last six years. I feel better when it's an 'on' time and have been trying maintain a daily practice for the last few months.
While in savasana (rest pose) today, I thought again of Mysore and my longing to go there. A realization came: I was hoping that study in India would guarantee a daily practice. This is not the way to do so. Endeavouring to practice daily is my responsibility not someone else's.
Today's practice started out short with 5 surya namaskara As and 3 Bs. A club sandwich followed, something else I've been longing for but totally unrelated to yoga.
