Thoughts from the plane

I'm feeling very lucky... I'm the only person in my center row of three seats. I've got no one in front of me, and no one behind me. I've got space to spread out and get comfortable. There are a lot of available seats on this flight. Yet another reason Tuesdays are good days to fly. The first reason is that the tickets are cheaper on a Tuesday.

I forgot how noisy planes were. How am I supposed to do ujjayi pranayama if I can't hear the sound of my breath?!

Fortunately, my earbuds have an active noise cancellation feature. With them in, I can hear my breath loud and clear. Now, all I have to do is keep it going for the next seven hours!

There's something really magical about flying above the clouds, especially at sunrise.

Update: I didn't keep my ujjayi going for all seven hours, but I got a solid four hours in. It was a real bonus that I could stretch out across all three seats. Now I'm at the Munich airport waiting for my flight to Mumbai, and I feel refreshed like a had a full night's sleep. Ujjayi pranayama is magic! The tasty German coffee helps, too.
