Damian came to yoga with me this morning...and liked it!! We went to Hatha at Yoga with Om. However he still hasn't gone back to morning meditation. I don't blame him, it's getting a bit repetitive. Nevertheless I will persevere. I continued the day reading and napping and I think I'm FINALLY getting better! Yay. Maybe the Nutella croissant I had for lunch helped. After lunch we went for a nice hike to this beautiful waterfall. I forgot my camera so we will h...

Fabulous morning. We next had to run some errands as last night we went to dinner without money and rather than walk ten minutes up to get the wallet, we promised to come back and pay the next day. Everyone is pretty easy going here. So we paid our bills from the pizza di...

Another meditation and pranayama start to the day. Damo joined in this time but after said he thought it was his last. He says he doesn't enjoy the breathing part of the two hours but really I think he wants to sleep in. (He saw me write this and wanted me to change it and now says, no, it will not be his last! Men sometimes...) I got another hot tip from Marcy, one of the Californian yoga instructors here, advising me to try Yoga with Om. Aside from her opinion...
