Good and bad
Finally slept well last night, can't even remember my dreams.
It's been peaceful lazy day, talking with mothers on Skype, napping and going to the yoga in the evening. I don't know why, but my practice was especially weak today, like I had no strenght or ability to concentrate. Maybe the lack of strenght was because I had a very light lunch, afraid of repeating last time's catasrophy, need to still work on this. My chatarungas were pathetic, I tired up after only four sun salutations or so. I couldn't keep balance on either of the rotating standing asanas, and with prasarita padottanasanas which I normally love my feet just gave away and I could hardly do them at all. I won't even mention utthita hasta padangusthasanas, I was all over the place, and another favourite, ardha baddha padmottanasana I haven't been able to do in days.
But then it kind of changed, and from warriors onwards I was back on track. Kelly gave me some tips on improving on my marichyasana B, and my navasans were heavenly, for the first time ever. We even did my beloved finishing sequence this time, and my headstand is improving too (although I'm still using the wall).
I find it kind of liberating that we don't own a car. I know that if I had the use of a car, I would never walk to the yoga class - now the twenty minutes walk before and after the class have become like part of it. When going in it warms me up, when coming home it cools me down.
And we have hot water again. Yay!
