"So what are you going to do when you move back to Hong Kong?"

That must be the most frequently asked question from various people to me lately.  My answer?

"I have no idea."

Seriously I have no idea.  Not the foggiest clue.

"OMG, but how are you going to make a living and pay rent and stuff?"

Once again - I don't know.

So I made one of the biggest decisions in my life, to leave all that I have behind in South Africa, go to India to learn yoga, bum around Asia for half a year, do a belated gap year in Australia doing odd jobs and travelling around with the money I make there, and no, I have no back up plan.  Maybe I will move to Australia.  Maybe I will teach yoga.  Maybe I will just get married and have kids and live happily ever after.  

"How can you not have a plan??"

Well I did for most of my life.  I planned to do well for high school.  I did.  I planned to get into university.  I did.  I planned to get a degree.  I did.  Almost 4 years after I graduated, am I doing anything remotely related to what I studied?  NO.  Do I want to be?  NO.  I did.  And I didn't enjoy it, so where did plans take me?  Absolutely nowhere.

Therefore I'm just going to go with the flow and see where life takes me.

Namaste.

Progress

So I have a bendy back.  I knew that at the first yoga class I went to, and after the first time I lifted into wheel.  Apparently you need strong arms and legs to lift into the pose?  Well I don't know that, 'coz I have a bendy back and it just happens.  (Does this sound like boasting??  It's not, I'm just making a statement.)  

Anyways one of my friends called me a freak the other day when I did the wheel in class and she said that my hands and feet were so close together.  I didn't believe her because as far as I could remember, my backbends looked like this:

I'm not pro enough to say what's wrong with my posture or where I'm not strong enough or whatever, but now I look like this:

Ahhhhhhh progress.  I am pleased.

*Yogi's please give me some input on what is stronger or my back has just become even more bendy hahaha
