Tight A$$

OMG I thought yoga was supposed to relax and rejuvenate, not stress and age! Who knew preparing for yoga teacher training would be so exasperating?! In order to try and organize my thoughts, with the intention to de-stress, I made a 'To Do' List. That was a mistake. After filling an entire page with tasks to be completed before I leave in 2 DAYS, I was even more stressed then before. My whole body and mind are tight with anxiety about leaving.

Things I'm anxious about:
- leaving Scott to fend for himself (ie. not live in a constant state of filth)
- getting this horrid economics essay done by tomorrow
- still not seeing my passing grade for Spanish on my transcript
- having none of the dialogue memorized yet; not a single line
- only being able to bring 2x50lb bags with me for 10 weeks
- not having a regular practice going into training
- leaving during Rebecca's last 2 months here before she leaves, possibly forever, to Tanzania

Something positive to talk about though, is this new style of yoga I tried in Mississauga last night with Olia called Power Yoga. The studio is called Power Yoga Canada, should you be interested in checking it out yourself. It's mildly hot, with no mirrors, tones of huge windows, and no change rooms? The no change rooms part sucked, but the class was pretty good. Lots of upward dogs, downward dogs and planks (ie. sun salutations), which I can appreciate for its upper body workout. A welcome change to my yoga practice. Not to worry- Bikram is still my main-man. Power yoga is way different from Bikram yoga. The most noticeable differences being; talking is allowed in the room, practitioners lay feet-first towards the instructor, and tools like blocks and straps are used by 99% of the class. It was a good workout, but I still find Bikram to be more intense.

In other news, Scott played dress-up at work today. Him, and another guy, Steve, had the best costumes. Fingers crossed that he wins for the district and wins the (unknown) hugh prize everyone keeps talking about. I don't know about you guys, but having this picture in my possession makes me feel like I've won :)
