Counting

I remember when counting was simple. One, two, three, four, etc. But this week I have been learning to count in Sanskrit. So now it's ekam, dve, trini, catvari...and so on.  I even dream about those numbers! I have become an ashtanga junkie. I love, love, love ashtanga. It's a beautifully humbling practice. Sometimes I get so frustrated because my body won't do the poses that I am asking it to do but I practice still. Sri K. Pattabhi Jois said, "Practice all is coming." Therefore, I continue to practice. Someday I will "float" like my teacher to the top of my mat. I think back to my first ashtanga practice. I thought to myself, "It does not make sense to love a practice that I cannot do!" I stuck with it and can do many things that I once believed impossible. I am posting a video clip of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois teaching students second series ashtanga and yes, counting. Amazing! Hope you enjoy!
