fairytale town, OM yoga and bike rides
Copenhagen sparkles. It is magic. We love it. It is cold and rainy and windy and then not. The air is crisp and beautiful. Absolutely everybody is 100% brilliantly fluent in English. I am ashamed that I cannot speak another language and learning one or two asap is another new resolution. In the meantime, it was so much fun teaching OM yoga: Mindful Flow last night at the Hamsa Studio. The students are way into it, very open, engaged, very participatory and lively. Good, strong, smart practices. Looking forward to a great Yoga Body Buddha Mind weekend.
Thank you to Soham, owner of Hamsa Studio, and Nanna, his assistant, for taking such good care of us. Soham has given up his apartment for us to use and stocked it full of goodies! Do you remember Soham from Istanbul? He came all the way to Turkey to take YBBM so that he could have that experience and then be able to more fully host us while we are here. Wow - very generous. It worked out well for him, too, since he has a nice, new Turkish boyfriend.
But first things first! Soham and Nanna brought us bikes! That is the way to go here and absolutely everybody rides them. Last night on our way to the Dag H. restaurant we counted less than 5 cars but many bikes.
The city has a series of lakes which once was the moat security system. They are populated by friendly ducks and swans. We liked how this swan had her feather fingers interlaced behind her back to open her swan heart.
Here is Soham at his beautiful Hamso studio. A 500 year old house in a back yard. Perfect. It is clean, simple, white, peaceful. Love it!
