Class tonight was painful. No way can I put weight on my arm. Oddly enough tho, I can straighten it out more than usual during the day after a few minutes of warming up. But I did one sun salutation and realized no way was I gonna be able to do another.

I did end up putting the students up on the ropes. I don't use the ropes very often since I teach a vinyasa class but most of these students are fairly new to yoga and some of what I do is too much for them. So I give them a rest by using the ropes. First we did downdog and then moved into a chest opening swan dive thing where you drop your hips towards the floor and then go into a forward bend. It's something I love to do but I couldn't demonstrate. I had to have Susan do that for me. I tried it once and no way, thought I'd rip the tendon right from it's attachment.

The next class will be at the new studio. Yay. But I'm really bummed that I won't be able to teach normally. At least not until I can figure out how to get my elbow healed.

Patience, all is right where it needs to be.
