I've been struggling weather to blog in English or in my native language (Estonian). I think your blog and this entry specially might have convinced me to blog in English. Thanks for the inspiration. <br /><br />PS I've also practiced with Lino, so I know exactly what your talking about with the gestures and facial expressions. He's a great teacher and inspiration.marnikashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674880971823230676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449952380128375575.post-24152329170357562812013-09-23T11:24:15.252-07:002013-09-23T11:24:15.252-07:00No problem at all; I figured that was what you wer...No problem at all; I figured that was what you were saying :-) Nobelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655577410721103577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449952380128375575.post-52133386053545657082013-09-23T11:23:40.709-07:002013-09-23T11:23:40.709-07:00I somehow think that there is a connection somewhe...I somehow think that there is a connection somewhere between wearing awesome T-shirts and being able to float. Maybe Chardonnay helps too, I don't know :-) <br /><br />Lino's Italian-accented Guruji-ese is awesome! Wish you were there to hear it. There's just no way to reproduce it. I bought myself a copy of the book just before I left the workshop yesterday. Read a few pages before bed last night. It's awesome...Nobelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655577410721103577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449952380128375575.post-76488809758311177192013-09-22T14:36:37.142-07:002013-09-22T14:36:37.142-07:00took- sorrytook- sorrysereneflavorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01918585302744520840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449952380128375575.post-50566355196757773362013-09-22T14:35:38.288-07:002013-09-22T14:35:38.288-07:00Yay!

You and your fellow blogger are also sporting awesome T shirts. Those are my comments, I'm deep thinker like that :). I would love to hear some Italian accented Guruji lore. Going to go check the book in the meantime. I'm glad you too the time to share with us fellow introverts.sereneflavorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01918585302744520840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449952380128375575.post-881033009648074592013-09-22T08:19:16.792-07:002013-09-22T08:19:16.792-07:00I had a sneak peek at Lino's new book yesterda...I had a sneak peek at Lino's new book yesterday; borrowed it briefly from somebody at the workshop. There's definitely more stuff in it. It's much thicker than the first one. This one has a Q&A section at the beginning, where Lino talks about his experiences with the practice and Guruji. It also has a more detailed breakdown of the asanas, in addition to the vinyasas. <br /><br />I didn't do full vinyasa. All the practice is self practice (aka Mysore style), and Lino does not insist that people do full vinyasa, so I just did half vinyasa :-) And no, practice this morning did not seem to be affected by the Pouilly-Fuisse. I mean, it wasn't the lightest practice I've ever had, but it didn't feel heavy either. <br /><br />I understand that feeling of weirdness of somebody knowing you through the blog, especially because blogging seems to be more suited to introverted people; the blog then becomes a space where an ordinarily introverted person airs his opinions and views. At least, this is my opinion. <br /><br />But on the other hand, I also like to think that I am slowly getting to the point where my online and offline personalities are starting to integrate with each other, so there is now less of a disconnect between the "real me" and "blog me."

Is Lino's new book floating around and have you managed to have a butchers at it. I'm curious if it's pretty much the same as his first one i'e. mostly just the vinyasa's of the first and second series ( but now with the same for Advanced A and B) or if there's much else in it. Will you get to practice full vinyasa on this workshop? <br /><br />Trying to think what I'd want to ask Lino...<br /><br />Bit weird when somebody knows you through the blog no, I tend to feel a little awkward (very English) it's nice ( when they like it) but I'm never sure if the person who writes the blog is me or 'blog me'. Either way it feels a little like somebody has just said "Oh hi grimmly, I looked through your window the other day, you had just stepped out of the shower, just wanted to say hello"<br /><br />Thanks for the link to Sarah's blog, I'd seen it before some time back but for some reason never got around to putting it on my own blog list, some nice posts there.<br /><br />Nice looking bottle of Pouilly-Fuisse there, hope you didn't suffer through the following mornings practice too much.Grimmlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301656317399292135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449952380128375575.post-55005606574055397342013-09-21T20:52:40.233-07:002013-09-21T20:52:40.233-07:00Great to connect with you too!
