so incredibly in one week o less we have had a 24 degress temperature change..
from relly winter white & cold to now in the last 2 days melting snow, darker streets grey sky & a fog-like air in many places

so now you hear all over people complaining about how wet it is, how dull & grey everthing is and so on, are we ever satisfied when it comes to different kinds/states of winter weather

for me this is great, sure it means that it will be a boring and heavy period
but.. it leads to sunshine & spring in the end of it.
so I rather have this grey & wet state as soon as possible to get closer to sunshine & a warmer temperature ha ha.

so when everyone look sad  depressed I feel a inner glow knowing that it might have turned now and are going towards my more favoured times of the year here in north europe.

friday was the 25'th and payday for most people, of course not me ha ha, I havent had a sallary for a looooong time!
but the payday weekend are allways less people comming to the classes he he, and this time also a national school holiday starts and it is a week long. this is the week that SO many goes skiing etc, so I expect a bit less yoga practitioners this week.
but also sometimes new one comes because they have time if they are off etc

yesterday I had 7 persons attending the friday afteroon class,
and the fun part of this class was that it was more men then female attending, I am not sure if that has ever happened to me before..
I have had more then 4 guys at the same class but then it has been in larger classes, but by percentage I am not sure if it has ever been more men then women..?
interesting, and also fun that most of the guys where new to yoga

so it was quit a blend of people really, when two were totally new and some were quit much more experienced and all in the same class.
wich is totally fine since I dont teach yoga that is importnet how advanced asanas you can make, rather to challenge your physical body with a humble attitude and not straining and looking after a "performance".
to find your mental calmnes during this challenge by breathing and when more collected mentally being able to consiously open up the body with details instead og getting your mind stressed up with your body and find yourself at the serfice almost fghting your body instead of working with it and helping it to open up

anyway... it is clearly that more & more men get interested in this "yogic world"..
and that they also are looking to find a more fuller experience with the sorrounding etc in a yoga studio instead of a loud fitness facility for example..

today saturday morning class was a very calm & focused group, all with earlier knowledge so then the class gets a bit smoother and they can more easily find their focus in savasana and so.

now I am sitting in my studio since we are open between 12-16 after my class every saturday. it is relaxed and someone is in the treatment room getting a SPAmassage form my collegue "A" and the visitors mum who had a 30min treatment earlier is relaxing in our lounge part drinking our "buddha kashmir" herbal tea

I have to remind myself manytimes over & over again that this is actually my place ha ha..
wonderful!
