The Gita says: "Yoga is not for the person who eats a lot or for the one who starves. Yoga is not for the person who sleeps too much or for the one always keeping vigil". We shouldn't go to extremes, but should have limitations. The Yogasutra of Patanjali

QPR Headstand , originally uploaded by yogamama.co.uk . Yesterday saw QPR win a place for the first time in 15 years into the Premier League. Coming from a family of lifelong QPR fans, I was not going to miss this game. Despite losing 2-1 to Leeds United, the team went on to lift the NPower Championship trophy. Celebrations in Shepherd's Bush were ear-splitting. I, being a yoga teacher, celebrated with a cheeky pitch invasion headstand, as you can see in the photo above, much to the amusement of a very happy Boy child.

Wimbledon common , originally uploaded by yogamama.co.uk . Living in London, we are very lucky to have so many beautiful parks in the centre of the capital. This photograph was taken on Wimbledon Common. Finding a quiet space to meditate in the city is possible.

Some of the comment that came with this clip made me smile.

There is an orderliness in the universe. There is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. Gandhi

I think this was yesterdays dress rehearsal. :-)
