If you eat chickpea tagine the evening before, your yoga will be farty.

Today was a review day, going over the 15 postures learnt so far on the 28-day course. I very much enjoyed it, the opening and the fluidity of the breath. It felt good. Again, it was difficult getting up into the winter morning, seeming like the middle of the night when the ‘alarm’ went off at 0645. Waking up to an alarm. That’s kind of alarming.

Hittleman:

The chief sources of life-force are: air, water, sleep, food and sunlight. … The yogi is concerned not with the amount of food but with the amount of life-force in that food.

May the force be with you!

Krishnamurti, Book of Life, from 12 January:

What is learning and what is the acquisition of knowledge? Learning is never accumulative. You cannot store up learning and then from that storehouse act. You learn as you are going along. Therefore there is never a moment of retrogression or deterioration or decline.
