Hello,<br><br>Today is April Fools' Day, and my
trick of the day is to get rid of the name "shining
skull" I once used here, of which I've had enough (truly
enough!) - especially after the soap opera with
funkybadlady. Anyway, "shining skull" is the English name for a
pranayama technique I don't practise anymore since I've
started with astanga yoga, so it doesn't make sense
anymore. From now on, the new name adorning my posts has
nothing to do with yoga at all. Pinky and Perky were two
pig puppets which used to be popular on British
television in the 1950's & 60's & which are remembered esp.
for singing songs in high squeaky voices. That's
that.<br><br>"Shining skull" was a fledgling in the practice of astanga
yoga with correspondingly confused ideas. Lately
however, I've gained more clarity in my own practice, & I
think I can say I am on the right track now, practising
astanga every day save on new and full moon.<br><br>New
times, new name. However, I've decided at least for now,
to keep the pirates' flag on my profile after all. I
once chose it because it suited to my name & because I
didn't want to have <br>the usual yoga motif on my
profile. Besides, I like pirates' flags.
