So I was on the mat, left leg out in front, bent at right angles, right leg with toes trailing, hinging at the hips forward until I was lying flat, when I realised it wasnae very comfortable, but was unable to move - you get that. Much to my shame, an asana (pose) I cannot achieve is one called "brahman asana" [cow pose] - one leg interlocked over the other so that knees are touching, feet either side of opposite buttock, arms intertwined and [ptiong - aha! You hurted me, you swine] fight to balance without falling over ... thud goes wonko, giggle goes wonkodaughter. Must admit to feeling refreshed after yoga, even if my "mountain pose" looks more like a tussock, my "downward facing dog" resembles a crippled camel and my "tree pose" has woodworm. One does one's best. One does not realise how bad one's balance is until one foot down, the other in the air while pointing the fingers "charlies angels" style. Thank heavens for lycra and subdued lighting is all I can say. Exam prep is an interesting thing, so many questions that could be asked, limiting to those that can be done in the time period is always a challenge, providing balance so there is bread and butter marks as well as challenges is also interesting - thank heavens for bus travel, the scene of my most inspired thoughts. Pity all this creation is then followed by the devastation and carnage called marking... "Yes, well, that's the sort of blinkered, philistine pig ignorance I've come to expect from you non-creative garbage." John Cleese. | |||||||||||||||
