Don't sacrifice the breath for the posture

Got back into Astanga Vinyasa Yoga with my trusted David Swenson CD this afternoon. I was extremely - unusually so - uncompetitive with myself - and it felt great. And for once listened to the instructions about not sacrificing "the breath for the postures."

It had been something I'd been promising myself for a long while... It's always a good feeling when procrastination comes to an end.

The pic is of Radha, who teaches Ashtanga, in Crete at Yoga Plus. I've been a couple of times, lovely place, great food and a tough but flexible yoga regime...
