Wow the last few weeks have flown by and with little internet access it's been tricky to update this blog.
Since leaving America Samoa we have now travelled to Tokelau, to the atoll of Nukunonu, a tiny coral spot in the South Pacific.
Yoga has been on my mind. Daily practice has been difficult but I've tried to fit in sun salutations and a few more asanas when I have the energy. During the first week I suffered from sporadic attacks of sickness, something I was prepared for knowing we would need time to acclimatise to a new part of the world, but it spent most of my already waning energy. Currently my body feels thankful for any supine poses that stretch out the spine and release tension in the hips.
Running is also on a back-burner. There is an ideal coral road I've spied that leads to the end of the atoll and will make the perfect route for an early morning run - apart from the stretch that passes the pig pens!! Once the energy levels are restored I'm going to give it a try.
Thankfully I'm reading a great book right now - How Yoga Works by Geshe Michael Roach & Christie McNally. It's a welcome insight to the teachings of yoga and is keeping the yoga section of the ol' grey matter stimulated :)
During yoga dips and energy lows how do you keep yourself motivated? Simple tips to keep things going are welcome!
Thanks - and I'll keep trying to update this blog more often!
