Yoga makes you feel better

I've been feeling weirdly detached all day long. In the morning I thought it was because I had a long break between breakfast and lunch, talking to Chu and my mom, but I was still feeling fainty after that. Like micro-seconds of out of body experiences, feeling like losing balance although nothing like that happened.

I decided to go to yoga dispite this, and although I was hesitant at the door I forced myself out. It worked out really well - the walk to the studio was great, the weather was absolutely beautiful, a bit nippy but walking fast you don't get cold at all. The beauty of Vancouver still takes my breath away.

This time it was flow yoga, lead by Jason. This was the first time I've had a class lead by him - he's often there practicing on Kelly's classes, but doesn't participate with teaching. Jason is a great teacher, I seem to sync with him really well. He corrected me in couple of asanas - making those tiny but oh so important adjustments so I get the feeling of the asana, helps when I try to do it without his help. He also adjusted me with revolved standing postures - I haven't done those much and I find finding balance often difficult.

I had forgotten my wrist brace, but turned out it wasn't a problem - the way Kelly showed me to do chatarungas last time has really helped me take the weight off my wrist in sun salutations. In many ways, this was the best practice I've had in ages, feeling warm, limber and happy.

And the weird fainting experience disappeared after the practice too. Good one.
