So yesterday I actually got up in Upavistha Konasana. I tried bringing a towel to lay on my mat because of the incredible amt of sweat that seems to drip from every pore. But it was too slippery, not enough sweat I guess. Need to get a rug and use water on it.

Tonight is a 2 class night. Vini and Nidra. I hope it's the reg teacher instead of that last sub. I'm ok with him, I'd rather do vini over his Iyengar class tho. But whatever, or rather whoever, I'll be there in body and soul.

Fell on my face in crow last night. Lessons learned, stay in the middle of your mat so your cheek doesn't smack onto the hardwood floor. High cheekbones are no good for landing on but it's better than landing on your nose. That was one time I wished for fat cheeks. Well, other than wishing I had a butt, those cheeks could use some padding thats for sure.
It was over 100 yesterday and it was hot. They kept the air on but it didn't do much good. Son came home from school yesterday after running 2 races, a 200 and 400 meter race and then he got heat exhaustion. Bill went to pick him up, brought him home to me. Dorky kid was more excited about winning and improving his time by 7 secs from last year that he wasn't all that concerned about the exhaustion. So I made sure to take my big bottle of water instead of my little one.

Saw Jim yesterday, did EMDR. Visualization along with some rhythmic thing with affirmations. I sincerely hope this works with the stress and anxiety.

Yoga: Will be going to class either today or tonight.
