Awakening the spine

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

GuitarJust been reading Vanda Scaravelli’s book, ‘Awakening the Spine’.

Came across one of many great quotes:



“It is evident that a child will learn a piece of music more quickly where there is melody, rather than an exercise in which only technique is required. Therefore beauty comes first.

Amsterdam in June 2009In the same way, yoga will be accepted by the body when it is done without resistance. The wave along the spine is like the melody in music. When the beautiful flow of extension is in action, this wave (felt along with the magical attraction of gravity) will help the body find the right adjustment in the performance of the various movements.”

Rain in the distance

I like it when we have rain after a period of hot weather.

Cooooools everything down.

Dodging rain drops as I ran to the gym was a fun thing to do, brought me into the moment

And  my plants really like it…

As you can see….
