Yesterday’s yoga class went very well. I was able to do the poses and push a little harder on some. Balance on standing bow was spectacular. But once I got home, I was wiped. Wanted to go to Hyannis and shop, but couldn’t get out of my chair all afternoon and went to bed at 10 and slept all night. I should’ve known the sudden lack of energy meant my body was doing more healing work.
Sure enough, today’s class was hot and hard. Sat out for 2 or 3 2nd sets and sat out for 2nd set of wheel for the first time ever. Strange, I thought, for this being the end of my tenth week. Both yesterday and this morning my lower back and spine bothered me enough for me to notice. They never did before. I had soreness in my toe, shin, arm, and butt, but never in my back, which surprised me because before I started working out, I had alot of lower back issues. The soreness in each new area only lasted a day, and then was gone, except for my gluts – they hurt everyday. Can I say it’s pain in the ass?
Anyway, tonight my back and spine are fine and I was able to spine twist alot further in today’s class.
I figured out that this is never going to become complacent or ordinary. Even though I do the same poses in the same order each day, any little push harder or tweaking of movement causes more change and healing. Also, it’s gonna be years before my head touches the floor in any of these poses. After ten weeks I still can’t predict what tomorrow’s class will bring. I guess it keeps the adventure in my daily workout.
And so, another day goes by, I have no expectations, and…I have written.
