peace and pasta.

I made it through my second week with plans for Saturday yoga and a meet-up with Lynn and Sue in Seomyeon after. I had another wonderful yoga session. The style of yoga is slightly different than what I am used to. I generally practice Ashtanga but this class is a Sivananda class - much of the same concept but tweaks in the positions - something I had to get used to. It is a two hour class with intense breathing exercises in the beginning and then the 12 asanas that follow. I am now able to get up and stay in a headstand all by myself: a proud moment when I achieved that! It is a wonderfully diverse class with foreigners and Koreans alike. The man who teaches it is an English instructor from California and quite the accomplished yogi.

After yoga I met up with Sue and Lynn for a pasta meal. I wasn't sure how Koreans would produce pasta - my experience in Thailand with "pasta" had been far from a delicacy. But, it turned out to be delicious! I was pleasantly surprised and had a chance to get to know Sue and Lynn a little better. It was an excellent way to spend a Saturday. I left their company for home and a shower with the promise to return to that area in the evening for a night out but, once home, my lazy bones kicked in and I had a relaxing night to myself.
