No one is surprised that I booked the hotel closest to the yoga studio, right? I was so excited to check out Ashtanga here in London. As everywhere else in the world, the Ashtanga practitioners of this city are warm & welcoming.
I packed up my mat and took the Tube to Yoga Place on the east side of London. Yoga studios often feel like little hidden oases in the midst of cities, and Yoga Place is no different.
It was great meeting practitioners I know from the online Ashtanga community — Kevin, Susan, and Angeline. It’s so funny to kind of know someone, but to have never met in person. We practiced, then went out for a three-hour brunch and a nice walk through part of the city.
Now I’m back in my room, feeling dazed from jet lag, pretty much good for nothing, but feeling like I ought to try to resist a nap & just go to bed really early tonight.
Here are some of my blurry travel photos. The first is of the sitting area outside the practice room, and the other is of a window in the wall that let’s you see through to the practice space.
Nice! Isn’t it a good space? Glad you are there…
you and your stealth photos… love it! That little slice of a window is cool. Did you catch a mid-air Nakrasana?
You’re really, really making me want to travel. I hate being poor! (okay, but I love being self employed).
