Yikes I had to take a Vioxx last night around 1:00 am. I wasn't sleeping because that tendon (or whatever it is on the backside of my left knee, on the left, that band thingy) hurt and so did my left elbow bones on either side and my shoulders.

I have that midback pain again. I wonder if the needling effects went away or if I did something to cause it to come back?

Ei, ei, ei, went to the 6:00 class and started withSupta Badda, floor postures, extended leg 4ward bend, downdog, lunge, pidgeon, downdog, standing forward bend. Yeow. Held them for a long time. It's not my hamstrings that feel it its in my hip/groin area where I've got this little pain. I'm sure it will stretch out. I didn't really notice it until I got up in that last forward bend.

Triangle, half-moon, headstand, shoulderstand, camel and then savasana. Oh yeah and teachers kidlet got 5 stitches in his chin, poor little guy.

Then Nidra. Did Pranayama, it was heavenly. Best Nidra class ever. K is going on vacation so I'll keep practicing on my own. :-)

Made the 8:00 class. Does not replace the Ashtanga class. There is such a huge difference between the two groups. A lot less work, whole more talk in C's class than the Canyon classes. I don't really want to talk I want to do asanas. I do however enjoy the ropes. Such a great chest opening using the ropes. I wish I could install some in the house. Hmmmmm.

Went to yoga last night. Got up in Upavistha Konasana again. Twice even. I think I have to miss tomorrow Ashtanga, have my sons concert to go to. But I can probably make the 8:00 class with C.

I haven't done any yoga since Friday, have felt too bad. Hopefully tonight I can get it together and get out there.

Got a cool tip that Ashtanga.net has Mysore rugs on sale for 20.00...ordered one.
Did go to the vini class, teacher was late and then had to run home towards the end of class because one of her kids fell and apparently there was a lot of blood. So she just ran out. We only had 15 mins so we did Shavasana and then I waited for teacher K. Oh, while we were doing twists I happened to be right in line with the mirror on the back wall. One thing I noticed was I could actually see the muscles in my arms. I guess 9 lbs of weight loss will give you a more defined look. Too bad I can look like that when I"m at my normal weight. I just think 110 lbs is a little emaciated for me. Sheesh, it's been 15 yrs since I was this weight.

Nidra was ok. I was totally distracted or maybe it's the meds? Anyway my butt and heels were falling asleep and that was a little distracting because I was uncomfortable. Well teacher K is going back to India for the summer so she may pick back up in late Aug or early Sept.
