I started my cycle this morning which made me kind of spacey. So spacey I forgot to record it. Through the whole class I was a little uncertain and separate. The talking points and instructions focused on grounding through awareness.

I tried to teach class today. Which is never a good start. My ear hurts like crazy and I am focused on my own inner work. And Tilak from ihanuman was there to practice and then interview me. Oh well. The work continues. There was no real focus. Bit of a hodge podge. Play with opening the feet and using the belly in standing poses. I am hedging towards a will and foot connection.
