Last week I went to a regular Moksha class (and didn’t get around to blogging it) We breathed through one nostril at a time, blocking the other one with our finger. I remembered the teacher saying something about one side activating the parasympathetic nervous system, and the other side calming the system. I did some googling about single nostril breathing and eventually found this article, which maybe explains it, but I don’t know because I haven’t even read it yet.

Also, I found this article which looks like a good article about different breathing techniques, but again, I don’t know because I haven’t read it yet either.

I keep doing this. I am so greedy with the acquiring the information. I did this all day at work too, acquired information for future educational workshops and instead getting ready the workshop I am running tomorrow and am on deadline for.

Seriously, I look for more articles, more information, more books before I have even finished the ones I already have.  Gah, I am making myself crazy.

So after wasting the day away at work in a most unproductive manner, I left early and went to the 4:00 “Silent Yoga” class. It was the first time I had been to a “Silent Yoga” class and I found it very useful. While I find teacher’s instructions useful during the classes normally (reminding me to place my body in postures properly, in correct alignment) I enjoyed the quiet of this class because it gave me time to get empty in my brain.

To think less.

I found myself correcting my own postures, without the guidance of the teacher- and that was good.
