She explains why I feel like I am hi on drungs after a class here! 

Me and George, not bonding!

Ok, me and Tea just gave up on studying any more today, the philosophy and suttras are very hard to understand. We are the worst students ever. We don't know how to chant the suttras and are not getting the philosophy behind them. Well as Tea said the other day when we leaft the class, "at least we both are as bad" ha ha! But we are hanging in there.

The weekend has been nice, realxing and fun. Went to the market in town, had som food there and even got a cockroach in the food. Tea is very scared of cockroaches but more of the ones that are alive thou. So when she screams like someone is tryining to kill her, I know it is just a cockroach. I am more scared of the monkeys or the cows when they are trying to get in to the house. We have a cat as well. Her name is George, yes someone thought she was a male when they named her. I have never been a cat person and now I am definitely not one. This cat is crazy and always wants my attention. But we have her coz she keeps the other unwelcome animals in our kitchen away. She is not doing a good work though, so I am considering firing her from her post. My other roomie I had before, loves cats and she is coming over so we can give George a proper shower one day. Tea is apparently allergic to cats so she can't help so I have to. Not looking forward to that day! But it will be good to get her clean though.

Soon mum gets her. Cant wait! On sunday she arrives. I am so looking forward to showing her around here. Only One more week, just have to focus on my practise as hard as I did last week
so the time will fly by. I feel really good in my practise now. And also after my "Pancha Karma" I feel awesome. Dont know if its in my head or if it made a differense but that dosent matter, at least I feel good.

I am really happy for my friends back home in Sweden that fought on Sunday. Awesome work. Wish I could have been there to support them and watch. Looking forward to seeing it on Video when I get back. Miss my friends from back home and my family a lot. Wish I could pack all my frind in a box and take them with me everywhere. But I have facebook and skype, I guess thats how I keep my world together when I miss talking to friends and family. Thanks for keeping me updated, really appreciate it!

Glommens Thai box team is hot!

One more class, then relaaaaax..

One more Back Bend class with this guy Vinay Kumar, then time a relaxing Saturday!

Getting smacked!

Beautiful morning, is in a good mood and I feel like I am at the right place at the perfect time. Lissening to Swedih radio maked me happy.

Had my second massage and steaming for my 7th day of "Pancha Karma" It all reminds me off beeing back in Thailand and is getting ready for a fight. The place looks like it could been where the fighters in Thailand get their massage before a fight, not very gamoures. After some hard deep tissue massage she starts "smacking me up" with her palms. It sounds like you are at a ping pong championship game, she is so fast, or she would be the perfect trummer in a rock band, different beats she got it all. Then its steaming. I sit in this box for 20 min and sweat out all toxins and of cours all good minerals and nutrions to, after I get a coconut I feel great again. Coconut water is the best thing there is, natrual electrolytes. After I have had a long runn in thailand and been sweating alot I have a cocconut and I can finish my muaythai training like nothing. Here in Mysore they have a coconut stand in every coner, just like Thailand have thire seven eleven.

My practise this morning was really great. A Jay was happy and me to. I have been doubting I was ready to go more futher on with the second serie. But today I showed him I am ready and he will get me futher on, made me super happy! Tomorrow is Vinysa class again thou, so I have to enjoy having a good day coz tomorrow will be way harder to get him impressed.

Yesterday me and Tea whent to the market and bought loads of food so we can cook. On Sunday I can eat whatever I whant again, how good is that! But I wil try and eat natrual food, organic, with vitamins and good nutrions. After this Pancha Karma my body is detoxifyed and will be abel to take in the Vitamins and nutrions better.

The fifth day of "Pancha Karma"

Moved and settled in at the new place. I decided to not move in where I stayed last year. Now I stay in the old Shala that they made so students can live here insted. Its nice. I live here with Tea, my Finish friend that also practise with A Jay. We have a big kitchen and the hole house for our selfs.
Feel a bit wierd leving my old room with my other roomis coz we just started to get to know eachother but I see them ever now and then around the city.

Today is my fifth day of "Pancha Karma" and I am so happy coz that means no more medication in the mornings. Its been terrible. I have been drinking like Oil or butter liquid, imagine you drink pure oil, not nice. The first day 20 ml, second day 40 and so on, then the 5th day 100 ml. After I drnik it, I feel like throwingup for at leaste 4 h after, then I feel a bit better, but I have no hunger thru the day at all, thats good thou coz of the diet. So this morning was the 5th day and I had to drink 100 ml, and I HAD to be at the shala and do my practise at 7 a clock, coz A Jay told everyone it was extra importat coz tomorrow is full moon and no practise. So I put my alarm on 3.30 am and had my medicine.  Tryed to sleep thru the worst bit of feeling sick and whanting to throwingup and then I feelt okej again by 7 a clock. Happy that its over, now I have four days of steaming batch and massage, still I have to go on my diet but it will be better when I dont have to drink that oil. And the practise this morning whent really well, I do actually feel alot more energietic, so maybe I am getting more pure!

After class we were chatting to A jay and Tea is going to do Suttra lessons, its lessons where you chant suttras. The suttras is in sanskrit and it tells you all about yoga and how you should act, think and bahave as a yogi. I already had my suttra lessons and I like it coz I leard so much about the hole filosofi around Asthanga yoga, not just doing asanas (poses)! But the thing is you chant them, and you have to do it one by one. And its not my favorit thing to s chant, I can not even sing propper, only sometimes in the shower but thats it. But today when Tea was asking about the lessons, A Jay said Hanna should do it to. Tea was nice and said "yes but she did it already in the teacher training course" his reply was, YES BUT SHE FORGET ALREADY, so I gues its time for Yoga suttras again, he he!

Today I will get my bike so I can get around much more eazy in town. I just hope this crazy indians will have patient with my driving, coz they drive like crazy. I know how to drive a bike in Thailand but they way the Indians drive here, its nothing like it!

To night me and Tea is gonna make Pienapple salsa with koriander, so selebrate fool moon tomorrow and sleep in!
