This week I started a note book to contain any Sanskrit words that I come across in my study of yoga. For the home practice, I bought a bolster. So, now I need a few wooden blocks and maybe a small table to complete my basic prop collection.

Probably the first week of March, I am thinking of starting at home the 20 week yoga course. This course can be found in the book, ” B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga, the path to holistic health, ” on page 388. I may post the weekly course by week. I haven’t worked out the details yet. I highly recommend buying the book if your studying Iyengar Yoga.

Frightening. Mind bending. This week, I encountered an interesting video on youtube, or videos, on awareness by Rupert Spira. It may be possible that awareness is actually the soul. I will probably order his book.

I thought I had broken a finger two weeks ago, but it’s healing. I thought I was going to fall during Sirsasana, next time, I will use a wall.

The Yoga Bridge Week 15, Authentic Mexican Serapes

I bought some yoga blankets this week. I decided that I wanted to have quality yoga props. My home yoga practice is an investment in myself. I ordered authentic Mexican blankets called Serape. The art of serape making goes back many centuries. The web page proclaimed that these blankets were manufactured by descendants of Mayan Indians of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. I hope that was true and that everyone can profit.

Here is my impression. These blankets are works of art, brilliant colors, and expertly woven. The cotton is soft. It is true that these serapes brighten the room and spirit. These serapes are different from the yoga blankets we use at the studio less soft and require different folding techniques.
