Helpless, Hapless, Hopeless

Prashant says, until you're "helpless, hapless, hopeless," yoga won't come. Only when you try to move beyond what's comfortable, in other words. When we only do what we're already good at (this is my paraphrase), we're just "posing." He also said that we should have "apps" for our yoga. There's the basic pose--your basic 3G cellphone, say--and then there are the apps we can add. There's the legs app, the pelvic/lumbar app, the breath app, the satva app. We can use them for different purposes.

My photo for the day shows the makings for my "faux kombucha": fizzy water, a little fruit juice, a squeeze of lime, and apple cider vinegar. I brought that bottle with me and I am so happy I did. It's good for digestion and very thirst quenching. That's the only strong recommendation I will make to anyone who asks me about traveling to India. Everything else you can figure out on your own.

These corn chips in a box are a hoot. I had some for my evening snack.
