Nashville is far from here...

I'm getting a little stressed about finding housing in Nashville all the way from India. I'm trying to find a roommate, because it's so very expensive to live alone. I just spent an hour emailing people on craigslist. We'll see what happens. Luckily, my family is helping me, because they are wonderful, helpful people.
At least the stress gives me an opportunity to practice my de-stressing techniques. I think it's working, actually.
Yoga is good. I think I'm starting to understand and appreciate the teaching style here. Because I'm not allowed to go further in the series than Mari D, I'm really taking more time to focus on the postures I do have in a way I haven't focused on them before. With the new focus and the time I'm spending opening my hips, I'm feeling myself move deeper into a lot of poses. It's nice. I can also see how mastering these poses will allow my body to naturally move to the next postures in the series. I tried bujapindasana today at home, just to see where my body is at and I was shocked to be able to get my legs around my arms. I still can't balance, but I can tell that really focusing on opening my hips, etc, will allow me to get into the pose later.
I'm feeling a lot of stretching in my knees, hips and shoulders. I feel like I'm moving into a new body, in some ways.
Not much else to report.
Hugs,
Lauren
