Do I say Aloha? Some seriously profound commentary there. Thanks. I guess letting go is not something that comes naturally... Reading back over my post and it certainly seems like I've been having a tough time of it recently. I'm glad I don't feel like that every day and today despite a rather trying practice I still feel pretty peaceful. Hope you're well and enjoying some sunshine - we sure ain't here in Brighton. x G Hey happyyogi!

just one comment…faith…is required.

it is the only requirement. true faith is believing or even knowing when all else fails…when you have nothing to grasp on to…knowing that all of this…the questioning and desiring and grasping in itself…is the answer….is the process and the journey…very humbling…all of it is the yoga. and that is the fun of it! having faith so the struggles become less because you know, in the end…you are taken care of from a greater source…you are experiencing exactly what you are supposed to. and if you are very quiet and listen to what your body is saying…you will understand it all and then be able to let go. jai!!

It's interesting how the website shows the passage of time. Everything changes, eh? On a lighter note, it turns out Santa won't be bringing Lino's book. She checked the price on Amazon and it costs £31! nevermind, I'm just glad it's rest day tomorrow! X G Hey Laura,

And like you said what comes after back drops???? my fear hasn't gone away its just transfered onto different postures, but maybe now i can look it in the face a bit more for having gone through it. btw i love dropping back now, who would have thought it 17 months later after writing all that, i'm waiting for the post when you say the same, i don't reckon its that far away.... hi guy, i have loads of empathy for what you’re going through with backdrops, and cheers alot for making me read my old post, which made me feel well uncomfortable, how serious i was about my practice …. i’m not so serious now and things are easier because of that, i love it more now.

At the moment its all a strugggle and when I walk away knackered with a full days work ahead of me I remind myself ,that was real yoga, not the days when I fly through it feel strong, flexible and energised. I could say your practice is wonderfull ( and it is ) but does it matter... All i would say here is 8 yrs, before I dropped back and came up again.
