some days go unplanned and you find yourself in the sunshine basking in the gentle breeze.

July 30th, 2013, 3pm

It was 27.2°C with scattered clouds. The breeze was light.

I went out the door this morning with a solid plan. Find breakfast, coffee, edit photos from last shoot and tap out lines of code.

Coffee and sunshine happened. Heaps and heaps of coffee. I’m forgetting that my body is still very sensitive to caffeine after my juice cleanse. 3 flat whites within 4 hrs wasn’t the best idea. I ended up jittery, unable to sit still and concentrate. Popped in my headphones and wandered the city instead. The weather in NYC was incredible today, yeah?

Early evening rolled around and I found myself sweating in the steam room practicing pranayama (breathing exercises) to slow my mind and body down. Stepped into the studio for meditation and Hatha yoga.

Today reminds me of the foundation of a yoga practice. Don’t step onto the mat with expectations. Don’t force your body . Listen and let your breath guide you.
