Post 8- Shavasana

So today Ezgi cut her finger with a cucumber peeler and there wasn’t a single band aid in the entire healing center, which I found ironic because it’s a “healing” center. Ezgi had to wear a glove the rest of the time we were in the kitchen so she would not contaminate the products. Sam, the person running the kitchen this week, was late; Ezgi and I made the juice basically on our own with no problems!! We are now confident that we can prep all the veggies and run them through all the juicers in the right order and right amount without destroying the kitchen or messing up the juice. Thursdays are always my favorite day at the center because we have yoga with Esther, who I adore. Her yoga is particularly challenging and spiritual. She made us do balancing poses and lots of strength exercises, which lead to a deeper Shavasana, relaxation at the end of the practice. During Shavasana, Esther walked us through a guided relaxation exercise, designed for deeper tissue relaxation. I felt as if my body was sinking into the floor with every muscle relaxed, heavy and calm. After yoga on Thursdays Ezgi and I go into the Sauna for an hour, which is always an experience. We basically sweat more than you would every think was humanly possible. I feel very healthy and pleasantly tired after all of today’s events.
