Anatomy

Friday, June 29th, 2007

Fantastic Friday … up at 5:30 am with strong thunderstorms moving through the area, Matt even got up with me, so we are almost into our 12th hour today.  Feeling a sense of home and relaxing in with only my toiletries to unpack.   I took time this afternoon for a swedish massage.  Each time I get a massage now, I am enjoyably focusing on anataomy, trying to learn all I can about the muscles in the body!!!   We worked on my trapezius and latissmus dorsi and found my QL (Quadratis Lumborum) is balled up and tight.  The QL’s are muscles that go from the top of your hip bone to the lowest two ribs of your back.  The QL raises the hip and is the major stablizer of the low back…Its origin is the iliac crest (pelvic bone) and the insertion is the last rib.  To get more of a visual, in front of the Quadratus lumborum are the colon, the kidney, the Psoas major and minor, and the diaphragm

 Did you know?

There are more than 630 muscles in your body. On average, your body weight is 40% muscle. Out of the 630 muscles, 30 of them are facial muscles, which help you create all those different faces of happiness, surprise, joy, sorrow, sadness, fright, etc. The muscles surrounding your eye are the busiest muscles in your body. Research indicates that you probably blink them more than 100,000 times a day. The biggest muscle in your body is the gluteus maximus (your butt).

Heading out to dinner with hubby…and maybe a local bar (or gentlemen’s club/titty bar), depending on the weather.  We’ve had almost 6 inches of rain yesterday & today!!!

BodyWork

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

Satisfying Sunday, up before the sun for 12th day of morning practice. leading into next to last 14 hour day of training.  Austin’s weather is gorgeous.  High of 82, sunny, nice breeze…plan to take a long hike and cool off afterwards in the cold dip (54 degrees) and warm up in the pool overlooking Lake Travis.

My 90 minute massage transpired to 120 minutes of bodywork, a surprise treat.  An experience like never before.  Rather than surface muscle massage, we went on a journey through my body, beginning with focus on the breath and spine.  Her hand placement leading her to work through layers of life, releasing muscles and memories.  Focus on trapezius and latissimus dorsi.  Educating in anatomy & physiology and exploring psychoemotional experience. 

Winding

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

Our yoga training is winding around and I am happy to start focusing on returning home and getting into the web world of things…of course, custom videos included!!!  Matt is home and I am ready to be home … soon enough!  Tonight’s my night, treating myself to a 90 minute massage, YEAH!!!! 

Adventures

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

Matt arrived safe and sound after 2 flight delays.  Incredibly happy to have him here with me.  After showing him around The Crossings here where we are training, we rested in the hotel, our view a pool in between 2 large Oak Trees.  Resting well together and venturing into the city of Austin to explore. 

Curra’s for Mexian breakfast, walking Congress to window shop and finding ourselves in an amazing Thrfit Store of all sorts (for about an hour)…purchasing only a working 1960’s blender.  Treating ourselves to local Amy’s ice cream and heading to Barton Springs to hike up creek and find a sub-culture (college hippie types) enjoying full and fresh water flowing along the rocks and filling deeper holes for soaking.   Onto Whold Foods headquarters to explore unfamiliar products.  Next to Uchi, a 5 star Japanese Sushi Restaurant where we were treated to a full bodied Cabernet - an absolutely delicious wine blend called Hook & Ladder, with a hint of chocolate. 

As the sun began to set we headed to Congress bridge to see what all the Bat talk was about…seeing them come from under the bridge as the sunset.  Heading onto 6th street to explore the nightlife - walking past dozen of bars offering ridiculous amounts of inexpensive liquors - taking up an offer on a few shots (patron, kamikaze and pomegranate schnapps).  Just enough to loosen us up to make some love ….

Waking before the sun for Am Practice while Matt was treated to a 90 minute massage.  We are about to connect to spend the afternoon together before he flies out.  I have 4 more days of training and am practice on Tuesday…flying home that afternoon.  

 Life is good.

Journey

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

Our journey here in Austin continues as we have reached beyond our half-way point of this 3rd of 4 trainings.  Continuing to inspire to desire and even finding my voice to speak openly in regards to in depth discusson in regards to the Yoga Sutras. More specifcially:  samskara and ishvara pranidhanani - Focusing on lateral bending and assymetrcial postures as I learn more about (my) scoliosis and work towards lengthening my spine to eventually adjust and stand more upright!

Dependent

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Day 3 of my yoga training and I am wonderfully immersed.  Focus on a meditation tool of sound and chanting.  Building on awareness, intention, attention, breath, spine and limbs.  Ponder this:  We are all dependent on that which is given freely to us - BREATH - that which supports life.  On a lighter note (as today’s practice focus on LIGHT), women make life, men make it fun!  Missing my husband dearly but enjoying time alone to think, walk, talk and share with women from all walks of life…learning from a honorable teacher and feeling honored to be taught by an Italian angel who touched my life during my first formal yoga training a year ago in Maui, Hawaii. 

Arrival

Monday, June 11th, 2007

Arrived in Austin safe and sound after a transfer in Atlanta where I enjoyed breakfast at the Budweiser Bar (no beer, just a bagel).  Relaxing into my room where I will spend the next 15 nights….meetings start at 5pm tonight.  Glad to be here, though missing my husband and hounds.  Until next time.  Love, Tyler

New Hiccups & Vid

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

As Courtney was doing her girly preparations to come over tonight, she sponateneously called and we captured 15 minutes, decent quality hiccups (with some burp/hiccups) removing her top and bra to be topless…showing offer her tummy and breasts as she hiccuped.  High energy and somewhat talkative as she looks through a magazine…ending by stretching her arms and diaphragm up to make them go away?! and they do.  First 15 minute video already accomplished - YEA!

Fired me up to film for Nick — my first ever swiss cheese custom video …

Wearing casual clothes I have had on all day…talking about eating the coolest looking cheese, SWISS!

Nibbling on a slice of swiss cheese, describing what I like about it. Also taking about what I like about tickle-torturing people…sharing stories about personal tickle-torture times.

In the am, plan to film for DJ, Bonded & Saturated 3 …. tied up to an arm chair pleading to be released and saturated from above for 10 minutes while you watch me squirm.  SWEET!

Traveling

Monday, June 4th, 2007

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  Matt and I enjoyed each other in all sorts of kinky sexual ways which was SWEET!  He is still fired up today, wanting more!  Stoked my man still desires me after 8 years of marriage!!!

A week from today, I will be traveling to Austin, Texas for my 3rd of 4 Yoga trainings (next is in December).  15 nights away from my lover twice already, so this time he is flying out 10 nights into my stay so we can spend time together.  Researching waterfalls/swimming holes to venture to.   Anyone familiar with the area, please email any fun spots to spend time…Thanks!
