4:35 am

Still awake?

Yeah… did you know, I used to wake up around this time, take a cold shower and do two and a half hours of Kundalini yoga and meditation every morning?

😳 Really? You’re not exaggerating?

Nope… late-20s, early-30s me really did that.

Do you think you’ll ever get back into that routine? And COLD 🥶 showers 🚿  really?!

I don’t know if I’ll ever get back to the exact same routine, but maybe a modified version. Maybe luke-warm showers. Maybe up to 90 minutes, not 2.5 hours…

But yeah, the cold showers. I once did that. — It’s supposed to cultivate “nerves of steel” — but I haven’t kept that up. It didn’t last too long.

2.5 hours of yoga is a LOT

Well I was training to be a teacher. I was in teacher training… it was like being in the military… for yoga

😅 Yoga military training? 🧘‍♀️ 🕉

Yeah… something like that… I did lose a lot of weight; got down to a size 10 when remember my skinniest ever in my life was size 8 during Melbourne days.

Why did you stop?

I don’t know, maybe my back? My mild scoliosis?

Mild scoliosis? Have you written about this before?

Oh? Was it another draft that I already forgot whether I published or not?

😂 I think it was a draft… I don’t remember reading about that.

Oh okay. So yeah, it’s not fiction. I have diagnosed mild scoliosis. My spine is slightly curved in the lower back area, towards the left…

You’ve seen chiropractors about this?

All the time. And the Chiropractor actually said yoga was better for me than pilates…

Oh? Why is that?

I can’t remember what their reason was. But I just remember thinking, okay I don’t ever wanna try pilates. It’s not for me. So many “pilates girlies” on social media and that could never be me.

(LOLOLOLOL… THIS REALLY AMUSES HIM) 😅🤣😅🤣😂🤣😅

Okay. Yeah. So that’s me… I guess?

I think some pilates instructors might say your Chiropractor was wrong. There’s definitely safe ways to do pilates even with your mild scoliosis.

Yeah, that’s probably true… but deep down I resonate with yoga, not pilates. Okay I haven’t tried it but I haven’t felt that drawn to it… I do like yoga.

I can see, when we’re married, I’m gonna get back into a routine. Maybe go to classes at least once a week?

Where would you go for classes?

There’s one studio on the Gold Coast near an adult toys shop… it’s a bit awkward to take selfies in front of that building for social media but when I went into that studio, I liked their vibes. I think I’ll regularly go there.

😅😅😅😅😅 (LOLOLOLOL) (Still laughing about the location)

Hey it’s not that funny! Rent is getting insane in this day and age. They found a location with relatively sustainable rates. I don’t judge them about that. And I’m sure we’ll make a trip to the other store together one day as well…

😈 teeheeheeeheeeheee … 🤭🤭🤭🤭 Giggles giggles giggles 💕💕💕💕💕

Do you wanna also join me for a yoga class at that studio?

(Nodding) Yes, definitely I wanna join you for yoga one day.

I have a book on couples yoga…

🤗🥰❤️ LET’S DO IT

🤭 I bought it at a Kundalini yoga festival one year… I was so very, very single… and I just thought, “Sigh… one day, hopefully… with my Soul Mate…”

🥹 It’s gonna be us ❤️
