Sore but going strong
7 down, 23 to go.
This morning when I woke up my first thought was; "No way I'll be able to do yoga today", but getting up and moving about gets me going, and there wasn't really a question when I was leaving for work. Today it was turn for Shannon's class, and I have missed them so. Jason's classes are usually my favourites, but having done so many lately Shannon's class was like a breath of fresh air. She has a very compassionate style but still works you very hard.
I find it impossible to predict when practice is going to be really good. I try my best to eat properly now, but before Surya Namaskar B's I don't know how strong I'll be feeling. Today I was feeling very strong, and those are the best times. My Prasarita Padottanasanas were stellar, although nowdays when I get real deep I also suffer from blacking out momentarily. My favourite poses at the moment are the inversions, and I do Salamba Sirsasana, the supported headstand, pretty well now. Getting up with straght legs even happens occasionally, but I'm still held back by the fear that I'm going to fall backwards. Need to work on those bandhas.
Posted by kolibri at 7 October 22:50, 2005This past Sunday during led 2nd series our teacher faces us as we do the 7 headstands at the end. He said, (I'll leave the name blank), so and so, mulabandha, a few headstands later, so and so, mulabandha. She replies back, everytime? Our teacher said yes, everytime. He said it a third time to which she said, I shouldn't have worn this shirt.
