Yoga mania

Last night I was feeling rather strong-willed and I got thinking about how I would like to take my yoga practice to the next level. As it is, I only go maybe 3 times a weeek, and I'm at the Rama Lotus Yoga studio almost every weekday for my work. So, I though to myself: I should do a bit of a "yoga marathon" next week where I attempt to fit as much yoga and other healing activities into my week as possible. AND, I should start going to different classes with different teachers so I can appreciate all the variety the centre has to offer. So, this is my schedule:

Monday
9:30 -11:00am - Bikram yoga
3:30-5:30 - Circus arts practice in Primrose Park close to where I live

Tuesday
6:30 - 7:45am - Kundalini yoga (the biggest challenge, potentially the biggest reward)
7:00-9:00pm - Buddhist meditation at the Shambala Centre and afterwards, a presentation about "Street Retreat" where participants chose to live out on the streets for a week to see what street life was like

Wednesday
9:30-11:00am - Bikram yoga
7:00-9:00pm - Spring Action Juggling Club (the circus arts are a kind of yoga/meditation to me)

Thursday
9:30-11:00am - Power yoga
7:00-7:45pm - Shambala Centre meditation

Friday
9:30-11:00am - Hot yoga
5:40-7:15pm - Kundalina yoga

Saturday
9:00-4:30 - 5 elements palm Qi Gong workshop

Sunday
9:00-4:30 - 5 elements palm Qi Gong workshop
6:00-7:30 - Yin yoga

Considering that I'm a person who finds it quite difficult to consistently plan out my day the night before it, this at frist seems like an impossible task. But when I think about it, the more you plan in advance, the more time you have to psych yourself up and imagine yourself fulfilling your intentions. And now that I've not only written it down, but also shared it with the whole world, it far more likely to be fulfilled.

I have extremely low living expenses and I have managed to put off payment of my student loan through the Interest Relief Program (they keep it a secret, but you should know about it), which is why I will be able to sustain myself on part time work for the summer. I would like to take this opportunity to develop my skills and interests so I can get working on something that I really love. Particularly, I need to

• work out an act for my performance character Mizster Cubeball because I have been tentatively accepted into Dr. Kaboom's circus family.
• shape up my software project, pLAySVG, into a well-polished learning resource, as well as expand my portfolio of art made from the software
• find opportunities to work with younger people and elder people

Another goal I have set for myself is to figure out a way to pay for the Hatha Yoga teacher training at the Rama Lotus that is coming up this November, so balancing all of this mostly unpaid work with things that will earn me money is a challenge.

And right about now I'm feeling a bit too self-involved .... if you would like to join me on my yoga marathon or just hang out and socialize, feel free to let me know.
