And here we go....it's been one month since I've arrived to Miami and I really feel like at home here. I run my yoga classes on the beach and in the studio, I might start collaboration in the dance studio by teaching contemporary dance. I've just got yesterday meeting there. I also might start working as a yoga therapist. I've rescheduled my timetable after I realised that I've got too tired after getting every morning at 7am, running to the studio or beach to teach and having only 1 or 3 people coming. I decided to structure my professional time in Miami Beach in the way that I can teach just few classes to cover my expenses and the rest of time dedicate to studies of yoga therapy for depression, anxiety, stress, anatomy and psychology. Whatever course I undertake in London from October it will be related to this field so better to take advantage of having a bit of time to study now. I swim every morning and evening, once a day I take a community yoga class in the miami studio (vinyasa power sweating like a beast) http://www.miamiyoga.com/index.html (3-4.30pm) with the future yoga trained teachers. I walk along the beach, read 'Women who run with the wolves' by clarissa pinkola estes and all bunch of books purchased by my friend for example:

this is all I do here...;) and I am back to my happy and peaceful mind. I fully recovered from my previous break down assumed a couple of months ago in London.
A couple of days ago when we went out, on the way back from the unsuccessful night clubbing , during which we met average people, we bumped into the MIami University's Professor of Meteorology and Physical Oceanography - David S. Nolan, who researches the hurricanes, and his friend a doctor from Harvard University. No physical interest at all at least from mine and my friends prospective, the only intellectual stimulaters were pretty strong in order to continue the future friendship. Let's see what happens but it would be nice to meet them and talk about the since and medicine....;) I know that I am getting slightly pathetic but this is the ageing sign ;)
