Wisdom of crowds and weird goings on

I decided to go late to the shala today to beat the crowd, well, I did get to start quickly but as soon as I arrived a queue was building up again. I don’t know quite what it is but it sure is busy right now, I am not sure if it is the light I reckon it is always busier in the spring at the shala but then who knows.

I am trying to hold breathing as my focus at the moment in practice, bhanda seems a bit too hard so, I practicing equal and long breath and noticing it all the way through my practice, then expanding in to the rib cage and not in to the abdomen and just keeping on with that. Today seemed calmer for it and it made the practice more mediative for me. I also noticed that I could get further in some poses with that approach, although it might just have been the ridiculous heat with all the crowds, but in the prasarita padtonatanasana’s my head briefly touched in A, C and D, which has not happened for ages, maybe not for about 4 years actually, odd how practice takes circles.

Now the weirdness, As I was going out of the shala I noticed man opposite in a check shirt taking a photo of either me or the building, didn’t think too much of it, walked half way to the tube and noticed I had forgotten my mac so headed back, then saw him taking more photos of people leaving, weird, went in got my mac came back out, he was still there fiddling with his camera, when I noticed that he was the person who had been practicing to my right (not any one i Know, who I had seem pull himself so hard in to half lotus I winced), very weird. – either that or H is now getting so famous the paps are after him, might explain the crowds
