FLorida 25 July 2010




It's been almost one month since I've been in Florida. Miami Beach became much more familiar and the life over here seems like home. I feel much more grounded and part of this place even though I don't feel any deeper connection in terms of willing to live here. I've got 2 more months to go and i will dedicate this time to yoga teaching in the studio and on the beach, film editing of my previous performances and on line london's festivals research to set up future performances when I am back in London in October. It's nice to have time to put all the thoughts in one and manage the emotions which were breaking down just short time ago. I feel relief now, I came back to my daily yoga practice and I want to come back to dance. I feel like my mind is not wondering around as it used to few weeks ago, my vision is settled up and ready to take off with new ideas and creativity. Lots of things to do, for instance I would like to set up my yoga workshop over here in Miami Beach, at least twice. I am going to teach on the beach few classes (4), as well in the studio (4). And hopefully I will get some private sessions which would cover my living costs over here. A part from that I am happy to live my beach and ocean time and in the meantime go to Boston, New York and Disneyland. Then I am done and can head back home to London;)
Yesterday we came back from my friend's grandparents visit in western Florida and on the way back we went to native americans reservation to see how the population used to live, it was pretty touristy place and after that we went for airboat tour to see the alligators. I enjoyed the most the boat speed when we went across the water vegetation, we saw some alligators but I think they were artificially brought there by staff. It didn't impress me, but the alligator's show later on was funny. Of course I shouldn't enjoy some guy jumping on top of poor alligator but somehow I didn't feel any compassion for that animal as I think he hasn't been bothered by the demonstrator at all. It was just a part of his daily routine. What else this alligator could do for all day long unless he wasn't involved in the game with humans. We had got a lunch in one of typical american restaurants by the rode, where they make BBQ. But instead of BBQ, we had got fried food (crocodiles bites) after which I was sick on the way back home. It was a hell to drive while I was dealing with incredible stomach-ache. Somehow I got to the supermarket where we were about to do some food/grocery shopping and that was it, I've got to the toilet and stayed there for half an hour, it was such a relief to get there on time;) Today is Sunday - day off and I allow myself to do whatever comes to my mind even if it means being lazy and doing nothing. I just want to do what I love. Saying that I don't remember when was the las time I did something I didn't enjoy. Usually all my life is a pleasure and following the dreams;) well I am going to do some film editing and I'm off to swim later on....
