It's been a scheduling nightmare this week. First day of school is drop off and pick ups. Have been gone for approx 2 hours each pickup. Today Z had a migraine and I had to go get her at 9:45.
Last nights Mysore class was great. I thought maybe it would be a bad day since I'd been laying off for the last week or so. Have had lots of muscular/joint stiffness/soreness and yoga wasn't helping for once. By Weds I was feeling betterish. So I went to class last night. I truly know my Vipassana is helping me. I was able to totally relax and not stress about what comes next, that helped a lot. I only had to cue off of someone else once where I truly had no idea what was next. This brain fog stuff is for the birds. I was able to touch the ground with my hands bound behind me in the extended forward bends. Yes, it was with help but I had no idea I was even that close. I really thought my arms were pointing straight up to the ceiling, not pointing at the right wall. I gasped in surprise when I actually touched. I've been working on moving my legs closer together so I get more extension. During the forward pose I was thru my legs, that was fun and very easy to relax into.
I was able to get palms to face in Garba, went up into the pop ups and was able to control the stop on all three. Did vinyasa thru all poses cept one, Marchy C to D. Next time I'll go all the way. I was tired at the end of class. Probably my last 3 vinyasas were ugly because my arms were tired. It was where I was yesterday and I'm happy with that.
Scott talked to me about free teacher trainings. He is holding them on Sat at 11 am, which is probably going to be a no go for me on a consistant basis. There are just too many things I'm committed to on Sat. Soccer and kid things. I'm hoping he might move it to Sun. Thats a much easier day for me to commit to. He also plopped down next to me after Shavasana. Wanted to know how I felt about my practice and whether the sequencing was there for me. (I've not told him about my brain fog problem.) I think I'm pretty close to getting second series.
I need to write about book club, it was the best one we've had in a long time. But I've got to go read my book, and rest a while.
