Like zen muffin will contest, it all adds up :-)
As I have reported in the past, it works great for passing time when waiting for things to happen...
Allowing time to always appear productive and supportive to my well-being.
So today as I slipped into a session as I "helped" my friend pick out a new bikini...
Only second time we've hung out, so i was still feeling out the situation...
I realize my yoga practice also works to calm me in places of uncertainty.
A swimsuit shop sounds like "heaven" to most guys, but its a little awkward for me :-)
Kinda reminds of those days mom dragged me around the mall as I would try to sneak away to the tool or sports section.
So as I did a little "shoulder flossing" that Noah taught while politely suggesting "this one?" "or i like that one" :-)
I've come to realized how much i rely on my practice... almost subconsciously now, though I did become self-conscious of my "flow" when the helper girl caught me doing a couple of warrior IIs by the front door while my friend was in the changing room, hahaha!!
Went outside a dozen times so it was obvious i wasn't a perv! hah!!
Nothing like a few deep breathes outside the shop to ground me and some board groping in the shop next door to increase that testosterone flow again... Sidewalk crowd looked confused as I was in eagle arms to cactus/swamp monster chest openers. Thats the beauty of "anywhere yoga", you develop this inner island of "this is absolutely normal, have a nice day confidence." Though I still keep it pretty basic.
I did take it to a spicy level when i found this great handrail that allowed me to work on my peacock pose... though if I fell out of it I'd land on my head. Reminded me of the later days of teacher training when we worked on arm balances, having showed off to friends on the street my peacock pose that had me land on my nose, heehee!
Nothing like a little fear of bodily harm to help pull off a posture!
Well, I look forward to where my next session will find me.
