What started as a short break from Steemit due to having to go through the module 5 of my Yoga Teacher Training turned into now I see, 11 days off...Not because I chose to...
At the end of the 3rd day of training, probably because of the accumulated fatigue and the unusual warm-cold-warm-cold weather I got sick. I thought it was a minor cold at first, but this was nothing minor. This one was a cold on steroids.
It literally knocked-me out and I stayed in bed almost the whole of this past week. The first 3-4 days with high temperature. The next ones without fever, but with a donkey like cough and other "cute" symptoms I will spare you the details of.
Today I finally had enough strength to go for a walk in the park and take some pictures. I was amazed that in the one week I was sick loads of snowdrops and some yellow flowers I don't know the name of bloomed like crazy in some areas of the park.
Today I kneeled close to these wonderful spring flowers to bring them to you.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking these pics.

It feels so good to be back here :)
Namaste
Do you have a protocol when you get sick? I always drink more water and try and keep my blood sugar from spiking when I get sick. I guess high blood sugar kills your immune system.

I also drink loads of water and tea and avoid any sugary foods. I just wrote another post where I share some of the remedies I took.

Happy to see you active again. Happy to learn that you are finally overcame the cold on steroids and you felt strong enough to to go out for a walk in the park.
I have a few questions:
1). How do you call these flowers in Romanian?
2). What concerns yoga, I'm curious if you have researched for the negative sides of practicing yoga?
3). Do you accepts payments for your services in SBD?
Cheers and greetings from Bulgaria : )

Thank you for the kind thoughts. :)
I'll answer your questions below.
They are named ghiocei.
We practiced a lot of twists in this last module and I've heard past students talking about people getting sick with the cold after the exact same module. Apparently when working on deep twists we also release whatever has been blocked in the body at the level of the spine...which might take the form of a cold or a digestive problem or something else. When we practice we are told when and who should avoid some asanas in case of some physical particularity, seasonal issue - such as menstruation or being pregnant (we have one colleague who became pregnant during the course so she could not do many of the asanas we did). I also read the indications and counter indications of the asanas in the books I study, so I could say I studied a bit also the negative sides but in the bigger context.
Yes.
Cheers, neighbour :)

So ghiocei. We call this flower kokiche. I'll have in mind you accept SBD. As for the yoga, thanks for sharing. There's a lot to be said about the bigger context. I was just asking though.

The flurry with a job or a solid schedule of activities makes us sometimes lose energy through activities and consistent vernacular of the day, takes a moment to belibur or see the sights that green will make the atmosphere of the mind be open and fresh Flowers you give back, beginning the week with a smile the freshness of the soul and mind. tanks article
