Yoga Journal #66: "learning"
Can’t remember if I did yoga on this day!? (This week was so busy and I’m trying to catch up with this journal!) Current date is 24th March) Week was filled with anatomy “learning” (which mainly means sprawled on a yoga mat with paper everywhere and drinking too much coffee, whilst checking instagram. Should probably…

Did the exam sequence this morn – got two postures mixed up and forgot Badakonasana – but timing was good! Did a full set of Kriyas this morning as well. And a little bit of Pranayama at the end. Although it feels pretty indulgent since the “outcomes” of it aren’t as clearly visible as say…

Had a break from yoga today even though was itching for some. Had a good day – got most things done – met Warr at the bike shop and collected my new bike – yay! Then almost got killed in teh first 6 minutes driving back home when we went through an orange light. Literally…

Did the ashtanga primary series for yoga today – was really fun – good to try some more challenging postures. I know I need to work a bit on my core strength so it was good to do the 5 Navasana’s plus lifting – what a killer! The day’s topics were mainly on the business…

Had such an amazing thing today in asana. During Purvottanasana – I had my head tipped back and had my drishti to the third eye and I began to notice the imbalance in the strength of each of my eyes – how my focus was more dominant on one side than the other. It has…

Woke up early – didn’t do home practice because of yoga in the evening. Did quite a bit of anatomy learning and feeling calm about it all rather than I think lots of people are feeling quite stressed about it all. I guess I’m just SOOO interested in this stuff that it’s not about learning…

Woke up early again – decided to do yoga at a studio – to also kind of build up a bit of rapport with the studio owners. Was a good class – getting into the hip flexors and lots of balances which is what I need! I think it’s quite good though to have a…

Woke up super early bright eyed and bushy tailed! Decided to make up my own yoga sequence and did an awesome “power” type class – with loads of double dips and core work and some good arm balances etc – was awesome and so cool that I was able to give myself the yoga session…

Rest day from Yoga – body probably needed it – woke up late too – probably just tired! Had a few different projects to work on, started writing/finishing my observations – want to get those finished now! Wasted quite a bit of time being useless on social media. Probably due to lack of yoga this…

Today’s yoga was a restorative yoga session to balance out yesterday’s power yoga – much needed! Absolutely loved it – way more than I thought I would – did the whole thing with basically my eyes closed! Savasana was SO good and SO deep at the end! Maybe I’m just really into Savasana these days?!…

Had a POWER yoga class this morning – it was awesome – loads of vinyasa’s with double dips and planks, planks and more planks and more double dips! The savasasana at the end was epic – felt like I was just sinking into the ground after all that work! Power yoga is for the yoga…
