Well, it's been awhile, but I think I'm ready to go extreme on something again. Moderation? Moderation is for transcendent beings: *I* still have several lifetimes ahead of me before settling into transcendence.

And the winner is... yoga.

During the last two years, which have been a cooling off period from the previous 3 years of hardcore... the thing I was hardcore in... I have discovered that I have more of a mind to write when I stick to the yoga practice. I'm too hyperactive otherwise. Scattered. I always had the distant intention of getting licensed (that amprphous *someday*) so, now, I'm putting some of those intentions in a more immediate vicinity.

I added Tuesday and Thursdays to the Monday and Wednesdays, which means a balance of Kundalini and Hatha/Ashtanga. I tend to prefer the Hatha for it's mindfulness, but I enjoy the spiritual aspect of the Kundalini practice (plus the pace keeps the spaz in me occupied). The environment is totally different too. MW is at the Y, TTh is at the Gathering Place, a community center downtown.

The hardest part of the decision was that M, being a hardcore college student right now, can only join me once or twice a week. I've gotten so used to us striving side by side then holding hands during relaxation that it's difficult to make the transition. [I missed you at shvasana this evening *sniffle*]

My body is already thanking me.
