After morning hatha practice and meditation, Sundays are free days. I really needed a break, even if I won´t get to watch the Superbowl tonight. Later on we are going to Cenotes Azul for some cave swimming and then, bless her spirit, a massage therapist is going to work my sore body. She´s another student in the class and has the calmest voice- she should record relaxation cds or bedtime books for children. Here are some photos from my day in Cancun and two days in Playa del Carmen. I love taking long walks along beaches that seem to go on forever. And here´s a picture of the last meat I ate before I went vegetarian, it was chicken on a tostada that I bought at a bus stop on the way to Bacalar.
With all the classes and lectures and learning how to teach the asanas, it´s overwhelming. Then they start in with the philosophy of yoga, that´s intense. I´ll try to explain more of those lessons when I have a clearer grasp myself, so maybe in 20 years or so...
It´s great to get some runs in during lunch break- I´ll have to snap photos of the highway though, cars go way to fast for the two small lanes. The sides are littered with trash and lovely lizards.
I am really happy and I feel more like myself than I have in years. The stress of work and identifying myself by what I do has disappeared. I feel much more connected and compassionate towards others and nature. It´s awesome and a lot of my aggression had left, but hopefully not all my drive because I´ll need to pay for some kind of health insurance when I return. I couldn´t be happier about my decision to come here. Integral Yoga is certainly more than I had signed up so, its lifestyle that goes well beyond just yoga postures.

I thought you needed some comment action. So here is one for you. :-)
Such a good idea to write a blog. I'm definitely enjoying checking in on it from time to time.
I just got tickets a few days ago to Ciudad de Mexico. We are soooo excited! Dad couldn't understand why we would want to go there, but I told him it's one of the cultural capitals of the WORLD!! STREET TACOS HERE I COME!!
