initials study bind

I need to get my initials correct. I have been incorporating poses from the VY book by Ramaswami. right now it's those in the Tadasana section. They help.

While in standing poses with monkey mind distractions, I practiced on what should be the Chinese version of my name, Wei A Tu. I was given Wei Tao in 2010 but I don't think it's as close to my real name and simple at the same time as Wei A Tu.  That's 卫阿图.
My monkey mind wanted coffee from Starbucks and a scone. Hmm, maybe for an afternoon break. I have to study greenbuilding. In the meantime, this guy has dog mind. Reblogged from yogadudes (via Lulemon). I thought of Li Ashtangini when I saw that.

Karen talking about leggings helping her get the legs behind the head easier made me realise that my long Prana pants today made it possible for me to slip the feet past each other in the lotus of Urvha Padmasana. I was able to to that and Pindasana correctly. I even was able to bind in Baddha Padmasana today for the same reason, something I had not done in maybe one month. So, I remembered that last year I had a Silver Surfer suit made for a yoga demonstration. I'm thinking I might use it for my yoga practice now during the cold months.

Savasana today was a half hour long, something only possible on Sundays. Thanks, Savasanaaddict for inspiring that. haha.

Dear Jaime
haha. thanks. i think i'll use it only for home practice, or it would attract too much attention if i did it in the shala. AFAIK, they're not doing yoga trance over here yet. haha.
cheers,
Arturo

too big for pug, but I just love how the yogadude and the dog look alike. I need to see a photo of the silver suit!

Dear Loo
A case of an owner looking like their pet, eh. haha. I haven't figured out how to do self photography in my smallish practice tent, but it's on the back of my mind.
hugs
Arturo
