Lotus babble

I still can't believe I did lotus pose yesterday. It felt so dreamlike at the time -- and in fact last night I did dream about it, and woke up and was afraid it was all a dream. It happened though, and without knee pain too. Now I have to go back to not working on it, because actively working on lotus pose is one of the more prevalent ways to get hurt in yoga. What a great practice though... ashtanga gives you something so good to do with coffee energy. :) I felt so light.

Forgot to mention that L-dawg came through town last week, and we did acroyoga in my living room. L-dawg is such a tiny person! She does work out a lot, and she could hold me up but couldn't keep me balanced. How I want someone I can do candlestick on! (I can do it on heisenbug but it hurts his wrists, which makes me feel guilty.) We talked for a while about how we're both more comfortable than we used to be about touching other people. For me it's mostly about knowing great stuff like acroyoga and the hamstring massage trick I learned a couple of weeks ago (which I've now done on three people, I think, and they all loved it and planned to beg for it from other people. Why are we not taught this stuff in school, whyyy?). Competence makes me comfortable, that and the fact that I haven't had a negative touching experience for quite a while now.
