I feel abnormal today , emotion upheaval.

I have too much time to think, I appreciate that , but recently i dont think I live in the world.
The world my mind watching is just like a space that could easily be erased or forgotten.

Life become so weird. and I still trying to figure out what is the truth?
And at the same time, my mind has another sound asking me to stop thinking, nothing is true, and life is true. I am confused and stuck in between.

Life is easy, I live with such an idea, accepting the idea and live with it for three days. Now the forth day, it seems unstable again.

What's the truth ? What's the life? Is that necessary for me to think it over and over again? or it will be helpful for me to get deep understanding ?

I am wondering.

Yoga Diary 29 Jan 2018

Viruses attack my stomach. I was sick for two days.

Supta virasana and supta sukhasana become my friends.

I felt I was different this time, by the time I had been diagnosed as Enterovirus infection, I talked to myself, try to stay calm the whole day and immediately stop my daily activities including teaching if thing went wrong.In that morning I felt tired and dizzy in the morning , i thought I might just lack of good sleep. So i woke up and did lot of resting postures.

Then by the evening, I cancelled my class at night and went to see a doctor. I was taken good care by my lover that night, and my fever has gone the next day but just still feel weird in my stomach.

My emotion is in good control this time compared to last year though I still feel eager to eat tasty food the first two days. And I realized foot bath helps a lot.

It's my third day today... lazy doing things now XP but still able to force myself to re-continue writing this . So happy to record down my thoughts. Life is amazing and easy. Mind always produces lots of troubles, I know it is good to help but sometimes i just trying to ignore it's negativity especially now.

Yoga Diary 25 Jan 2018

Woke up for teaching private class at 7:30.

Today I focus on teaching Virabhadrasana 3 and Adha Chandrasana.
train their core muscle before perform that two poses.

My student asked about should she be true to her friend, telling some truth that might hurt her.

I made a conclusion that, it depends what kind of friendship she wanna make with her. And be sure that you wanna love by telling the truth or you just wanna tell the truth to make yourself feels good.

She said I pointed out some blind spot of her, maybe she has never been true enough to her all the time.

Yes, many times I feel hard in a friendship or relationship with people. Usually I am stuck because of not loving, but just to prove my opinion is right. When I love the people, I will just tell anything that is real and I believe it may help and not just bringing more troubles to the person.

Asana Practice:
Adho Mukha Vrksasana
Trikonasana
Vira 2
Vira 1
Vira 3
Ustrasana few times
Standing backbend few times
Urdhva Danurasana
Uttanasana

100 Push ups.
........................

later going to do
Viparita Karani before I sleep.

My calf muscles were super sore yesterday night and it made me so hard to fall asleep.
Then I placed my leg leaning on wall until it is better.

............
Recently, I slow down everything. Actually when thing getting slow, you realize nothing is losing. And things you can complete in a day are quite less, but clearly you know what you have done.

When I try to live fast to do more things, it always turns out I do nothing or nothing is being done in a nice way.

This is life. I am glad that I am able to adjust my life mode again:)
Today I bought a cake to someone who have hurt me before. I hope that little cake could give the world better hope :)

YoGA Diary 24 Jan 2018

Woke up and felt tired. I try practice pranayama but not going well, lot of things coming to my head. Then, I didn't know where my practice went and woke up again but this time feeling better.

I went to swim and have my lunch. I felt tired so I decide to do some relaxation. Twisting and lying on bolster. Then supta sukhasana. Fall asleep for one hour. At night I practice halasana on chair again what I recently like to do.

It's time to sleep now.

Feeling nervous now, and fear of something shows up again. Anyway, hope to get some good sleep.

Yoga Diary 21 Jan 2018

I just did a nice halasana in the evening. Enjoyed a lot my day yesterday with two classes and time with my lover.

In the morning, I felt distressed when my housemate trying to tell me more details about the government tax.

I did few deep breath practice before my sleep and able to remind myself of my sleeping position.

Yoga Diary 20 Jan 2018

I had nice and deep sleep.

When I woke up. i forget what day it is and what's my routine.
Then slowly, memory comes back .

Teaching a group class in the morning, feeling itchy at the starting. Probably my breakfast contained some allergic chemical . hahaha but still able to cope with it and getting better after 10 minutes.

I focused on teaching Balancing posture:

Vrksasana
Headstand with eka pada variation

including some preparation

Then I went for lunch and then teaching a private class for elderly people.

After the class, I went to Shi Lin, buying some stuff ordered by my family in Malaysia.I miss them and cant wait to see them in half month.

Recently, a friend in performing art circle of Malaysia died in an accident while he was in Indonesia, I dont know him but just I have many mutual friends with him including my brother and sister who are performers. My grandpa was injured for few days and today rescued by my uncle who visited him.

Suddenly, I was reminded life is unpredictable. And yes , we should live every moment and make it flourishing or prosperous but we never know when we will die. So I am confused that future should be planned or shouldn't?

Well, Yes.... the future we planned is for the mindset now and the present. Mind thought it's planned for the future.The future we planning makes us feel in the present, we should do. If it doesnt, we can think on that point.

...
Done 100 pushups
Parsvotannasana
Training my gluteus muscle with bridge pose.
Squat

Cuddling my lover for awhile, feel loved and comfortable to sleep.
Now alone writing this diary, guess it's time to sleep :))

Yoga Diary 19 Jan 2018

Its a tiring day. Woke up at 7:20 for a private morning class. It's raining but fortunately my student gave me ride to her place.

I was so happy to share what I know to them, helping them to build sensation of body and also broadening their way of thinking to see body and life.

Then I had lunch with their friend. I was shocked by their conversation. They were talking about breading kid. And I was irritated when one of them came out some sort of point that sounds like she is trying to control everything of her child.

I was always made school or life decision by myself after 10 years old. And I always have a focus in different stages, I do believe not everyone should be focus only one thing in whole life. But the most important and precious moment is that when we able to see the one at a time. And the way she talks, I felt it's surprisingly shocking! Noone need to be made become someone we think the best. (Although she kept saying that she wants her kid to be more open to things, but for me , I don't think that's the truth)

Anyway, she is just a new friend I met today...

Asana not really working on it today.

Randomly did:
Adho mukha virasana
Parivrtti trikonasana (I see improvement)
Adho mukha vrksasana
Virabhadrasana 3
Setu bandha savangasana

Feel exhausted today planning to sleep soon. 😁 shavasana.

Yoga Diary 18 Jan 2018

Lazy day today but i still able to forcefully do some asana combine with some random dancing movement. Started with Ustrasana after seeing the anatomy app about the pose.

In love with Parsvotanasana which helps  a lot to stretch my tight hamstring and gluteus muscles，and  it's a very good posture to access my lowerback. Usually Parivrtta Trikoasana and Virabhadrasana  3, Adha chandrasana will be following after.

then Randomly, I did Halasana ...and headstand.

I did it close to my bed, so I gave a tried to fall back my legs and stepped on my bed and turned back to sirsasana. Then I did handstand practice as usual. I found out that, keep doing handstand almost everyday giving a sense of how weak the upper body is. Compare to sirsasana, it needs more strength of arm and the upperback. Probably I trained a lot of leg during my past dancing life.

Well, it's late now .

I am going to meditate for 15 minutes to make up my laziness today :))

This is the real life, is'nt it ?

Something surprised me today, I felt connected to the moment where I think I have been living for long time and now I am in this body ...

I was thinking is there any purpose to be here ? then I googled and found no answer. I doubted nothing should be call purpose, it's just what the society makes it out.

Anyway, I am looking forward to know something greater than that in the future.

Yoga Diary 17 Jan 2018

I did practice but I being lazy to write this....

And I don't want to sleep early now....
Night!

----------------------------------------

I think red wine played some role yesterday.

Asana:
Focus on Adho Mukha Vrksasana, 

Urdhva Dhanurasana

I have done Ustrasana Several time

I felt that grabbing my ankle and pushing to the pose giving me more extension of the front side.

If I going in from kneeling position, sometimes less extension feeling, and lower back has a sense of tightness which I still figuring out what it is.

and the tight quadriceps ... keep showing its existence 

Yoga diary 16 January 2018

I woke up at 5:45 bitten by mosquito. I felt tired, but was thinking I should practice. Tiredness made me decided to lay on bolster in sukhasana to practice pranayama. Observing my breath and Viloma.

Then I felt more awakened, then I got off my bed and started to practice Asana. Body feeling sore and tight, I did the following:
Uttanasana
Parsvotanasana
Parivrtti trikonasana

Pigeon pose with bending leg to stretch my quadriceps
Upavishta konasana, fold forward to side and front
Baddha konasana (tightness near my groin)
Adha marsyendrasana (tight  glutes muscle I have)
Paschimotanasana

Feeling happy then I went for breakfast and started my schedule.

Studied anatomy of yoga for half hour then went out for friend meeting.

We went to beach to embrace the nice weather and sea after long weekend of rains. I felt connected to myself and also the people I love, two of my friends.

At night, I taught a class and now at home, well. I wanna meditate for at least ten minutes later before I sleep!

Yoga Diary 25 January 2018

One year has passed and now it's 2018.

What we have learned in these two years?
Without recording by words, but the muscle or the way we go into Asana can tell. More or less, we have changed.

Eventhough the sorrow or distressed life problem haven't seem to be solved, gradually the acceptance has increased.

And here we are asked to write down Yoga diary again. Noone can tell how long it can be happened. Anyway, life goes along with a lot of ''play' and 'stop' game.

I practiced for 70 minutes along with distraction of cell phone today

Focusing on backbend:
Adho mukha svanasana
Adha Uttanasana
Prasvotanasana concave back
Parivrtti trikonasana
Virabhadrasana 1
Low lunge with backbend
Ustrasana many times, each time deeper
Salabhasana
Dhanurasana
Urdhva dhanurasana
Sirsasana
Adho mukha vrksasana

Then I took a rest, and prepared my dinner,and now on my way to teach a class.

Yoga life, see and accept who I am.
