sunday morning practice

6am- i stepped out of the bed with tight hips.

went directly for the and bathtub and filled it up with hot water. lately i've been completely fascinated with water...all i have to do is turn on the faucet and fresh water comes pouring out.

made yerba mate and watched the mountains light up and sky change colors. was inspired to make fresh almond milk (i soaked almonds in water the night before).

rolled out my mat on the wood floor and practiced to the "rooting" indian mix that uschi created for us- thank you, ush!
