just noticing..

No, it's not the filter from the tumble dryer!
How cool is this sky? It changed all of a sudden and went just as quickly.

I love it when nature takes a course and if you are there at the right time you can be with it and experience it. Yoga can sometimes have that effect. If you take the time to acknowledge the sensations as they arise or notice the breath, you can feel truly present even it it's just for a moment.

Lilac trees

The blossom has all gone but looks what's out now... Lilac and what an amazing smell too! Happy days.

Ganesh

The Hindu god 'Ganesh' is the God of Beginnings, always to be acknowledged when we set out on a new journey, or start something new. Most important though, he is said to be the remover of obstacles. His elephant power is capable of clearing our paths.  This is exactly what is needed this week when faced with the challenges of finding work in a new city where everything is different and everything is new. Where simple tasks seem harder than they should be just because it's all different.

and the not so yogi coffee..

They take their coffee very seriously in Vancouver, and don't get me started on the muffins..  I need a lie down after this and possibly a green tea!

seriously the biggest muffin in Vancouver

yoga, yoga, coffee, yoga...

I'm now settling into the city of yoga & coffee - just as well I like both.  I have timetables galore stuck on our over sized refrigerator which is great for a new teacher in town but how many teachers are in this city? Answer: ALOT!

I already tried out my local studio which is a 6 minute walk from our apartment, wow how cool is that?! There is a hot yoga studio just opposite (no, haven't tried it) and at least 2 other studios slightly further away (15 mins walk). I bet even the bus driver does yoga.
