How did you gauge your body as an average on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being very low, 10 being very high) in terms of the following parameters during the day:-
Temperature Range: 7
Density: 7
Energy Level: 6
Speed: 3

What are your main observations and/or experiences from the MB?
I wasn't as sore or stiff as I thought so I was looking forward to another days movement training. It was hot and I felt like the sun was beating down mercifully. I moved through the sequence quite well and enjoyed the gradual increase in intensity. Felt like I had an idea of what was coming and how to pace myself. Still got very 'foot-tied' with the turns and hops but I really enjoyed the sense of progression and then the cooling down. I felt invigorated when we got to the last sequence. I was thirsty but it went away. Still passed through the moment when I wanted to give up. Felt great at the end - exhausted. And during the rest of the day I could really feel my muscles - sore - stiff and I know I'm going to be really sore tomorrow. Damn. There was more instruction today and I liked that. Still would like to g o a bit slower on some of the more complicated moves that need exact relationships - but I can understand the need for the rhythm building.

What are your main observations and/or experiences from the Manipulations?
Love being touched and massaged and moved. Such a good experience after the MB. I'm feeling a bit unsure of how to hold my hands and do it properly for the partner and am a bit hesitant. Look forward to the time when I will know what I'm doing. I'd like to learn the sequence. Detailed instruction was good.

What are your main observations and/or experiences from the Ground Work?
I was tired today - so liked the slowness of it and liked the detailed observations.

What are your main observations and/or experiences of the whole day?
Besides the fact I'm feeling stiff at the end of the day and sore and tired - I enjoyed the day and got a sense of quietening down. Being still, being quiet, being here - noticing here. The food is wonderful and I'm now smelling dinner being prepared and it's distracting. I get famished in the middle of the afternoon - around 4.00ish and really would like afternoon tea - nuts nibbles whatever. I feel like fading. But it's nice to be hungry too.
