Mysore belly...

...after having been confident that the belly was operating nicely again...a rude shock this morning before practise...i was surprised to make it through a practise, i felt pretty bombed. Just topping up now with bread and honey, carbs and sugar, to see if that'll settle things down...

I'm about to reach for the Badger...muscle balm that is, a kind gift from Lainie on my last practise at North Sydney Yoga.

Saraswati surprised me, after I'd done my drop backs, she didn't see me do them...then asked whether i'd done them...i said..."Yes" and have even given Saraswati a couple of my attempts at Indian head wobbles...so Saraswati says - intermediate next week, start on Pasasana...so, I guess one of the important criteria for whether they start you on second is, if you drop back by yourself. I've been pretty flexy all week, despite the lack of sleep and tummy troubles, so into Marichyasana C and D ok, as well as Supta Kurmasana. So, second series next week it is.

A really nice coconut session followed, I was joined by Carol, then an American girl, Hawaiian I think, then Jessica came out after her practise and we had a nice catchup, I found out her 2 sons names - Anjanai and Narayan..I think that's right. They had Anjanai in Adelaide, when I was there. Arnet came along as well, he's the Mexican guy, who's name escaped me yesterday. Turns out he also works casually...very casually at the local western eatery.

I showed Carol my place as I was going over to where she was staying - at Chez Mr Joseph's place, to get the phone number of an Ayurvedic doctor - Dr Kumar. Mr Joseph has a really nice setup and makes for a nice, easy entry into Mysore, helping out with everything from Bangalore airport pickups, to the practicalities of shopping and getting around Mysore. I'd like to meet him, sounds like an interesting, nice guy.

The rest of the day I descended with my tummy bug, which is where I am now. I finished off "new moon", the second Stephanie Meyer book about the teenage vampires...each of the first 2 took me two days...now it's on to another gift from Lisa and David Rippon, a book by Rohinton Mistry, called a Fine Balance...looks to be some heavier reading in that :)
