Took an Ashtanga yoga class this morning with Richard Freeman himself(!!) over at the Yoga Workshop. For those you to whom that means nothing... its almost akin to taking a Bikram's Yoga class with Bikram Chouderoy (sp?) himself. Ashtanga style yoga is his child so to speak.
Wow! Absolutely amazing! The room was *packed* seriously, wall to wall mats, the only space was just wide enough for Richard to walk back and forth while instructing us. We got to know our mat-neighbors quite well. heh This is the third class I've taken over at the Yoga Workshop, and let me tell you, this guy is a *phenomenal* (sp?) teacher! I believe I may have finally found my 'yoga home'. Yay! (Oh yea, lots of hotties in the class too! Who-hoo! Bonus-points!)
So yea, I'm actually rather frustrated at the moment. I had a free ticket to hear Thich Nhat Hanh speak today, but I can't seem to locate it. Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese buddhist monk, very big advocate for peace & practicing mindfulness. It seems the free tickets 'sold out' and now I can't go back to get another. I'm *quite* bothered by the fact that I can't find it! Has anybody seen a small red piece of paper about yey big? :-/
Hrm, oh well, I figure even if I can't make it, I'll survive. The weather has cooled off quite a bit because of all the rain we've had so I'm thinking of sneaking off into the mountains. Its absolutely perfect weather for a nice hike!
I rode out Colorado Blvd. the other day and found my own personal *spot* at the very end of an extremely winding road peeking out and over the resevoir. (Yes, Gretchen, this is where I called you from.) Here's a pic:

Very chill up there, very chill.
