Yoga with a view

IMG_2179_2IMG_2162_2

Jim ar ute och ater med jobbet ikvall. Efter Thor’s middag var han trott sa jag passade pa att gora en timmes yoga. Sa harligt. Det ar sa mysigt att yoga framfor nya byggnaden, Freedom Tower, som lyser fint pa kvallen.
Jag anvande mig inte sa mycket av yoga-blocken ikvall (som ni ser ovan), men det ar alltid skont att ha dem nara om man vill anvanda. Tva bra saker med varfor man bor ha yoga-block vid en yoga klass enligt mig ar
1). ar man ovan eller om man har tighta muskler kan yoga-blocken hjalpa balansen eller att halla upp kroppen sa att man inte sliter pa musklerna
2). ar man som jag valdigt rorlig med langa muskler kan blocken anda vara bra vissa dagar just for som punkt 1, man sliter inte pa muskler i onodan och ibland kan balansen svika aven en avancerad yogi.
Kroppen har olika dagar och det ar viktigt att man kanner efter hur det kanns just idag, for det kanske inte ar samma som igar eller imorgon. Idag hade jag mjuka muskler och helt ok balans, sa jag behovde inte anvanda blocken sa mycket. 

Jim is out to eat with work tonight. After Thor’s dinner he was tired, so I took the opportunity to do an hour yoga. So lovely. It is very cozy to yoga in front of the new building, Freedom Tower, that is lit so nicely at night. 
I didn’t use the yoga-blocks that much tonight (that you can see above), but it is always nice to have them near if you want to use them. Two good things why you should have yoga-blocks on a yoga-class according to me is
1). if you are not used to it or if you have tight muscles, yoga-blocks can help balance or hold the body up so that you don’t tear on muscles
2). if you are very flexible like me with long muscles, blocks can still be good some days just like 1st point, you don’t tear on muscles and sometimes can balance let you down even if you are an advanced yogi. 
The body has different days and it is important to feel how the body is today, cause it might not be the same like yesterday or tomorrow. Today I had very soft muscles and totally ok balance, so I didn’t need to use the blocks that much.

3 years

Idag ar det tre ar sedan jag vaknade upp i New York efter en sommar pa svensk mark. Jag kom till NY den 28 December 2010 och planerade att va har i 6 manader. Jag stod pa svensk mark den 6 juli och visste inte vad som skulle handa. Planerna blev snart att jag skulle flytta till Osterrike, start over and see what happens. Men, nagot sa mig att jag inte var klar med New York, sa i sista stund beslutade jag mig for att aka tillbaka hit och plotsligt hade jag bade papper och flygbiljett klart. Allt gick valdigt fort, men jag angrar mig inte for en sekund.  

Today it’s three years since I woke up in New York after a summer on Swedish ground. I came to NY on December 28, 2010 and was planning to stay for 6 months. I stood on Swedish ground July 6 and didn’t know what would happen. New plans was soon that I would move to Austria, start over and see what happens. But, something told me that I was not done with New York, so in the last minute I decided to go back here and suddenly I had both papers and a ticket ready. Everything went so fast, but I don’t regret it for a second.

Always a dancer

IMG_0281_2

Nar lillen blir lite aldre ska jag ga och ta dansklasser. Nu saknar jag det verkligen! Det har varit bra for mig att inte dansa sa mycket det senaste aret, for jag har insett hur mycket jag alskar det och hur mycket jag saknar det. Det ar viktigt att stanna upp ibland och tanka efter. Dans ar nagot man jobbar med varje dag och hela tiden (det ar en livsstil) och det ar tyvarr inte alltid roligt, det ar tufft ibland. Jag trodde aldrig jag kunde trottna, men efter 1000 trakiga klasser pa DNA innan jag slutade dar blev jag faktiskt trott pa det.
Men nu, balett, modernt, yoga, pilates, jazz…oh, jag vill ta allt! Det brinner i musklerna pa mig. Och jag vill skapa!

When the little one gets older I will go and take dance classes. Now I really miss it! It has been good for me not to dance that much this year, cause I have realized ho much I love it and how much I miss it. It is important so pause sometimes and think. Dance is something you work with every day and all the time (it’s a lifestyle) and unfortunately it’s not always fun, it’s hard sometimes. I thought I would never get tired of it, but after 1000 boring classes at DNA before I quit, I actually got tired of it. 
But now, ballet, modern, yoga, pilates, jazz…oh, I want to take it all! It’s burning in my muscles. And I want to create!
