Welcome everyone to the first step of this journey. So the quest is simple to describe but will be challenging to achieve. I will be attempting to participate in 365 yoga classes before midnight December 31st 2011. The majority of these will be at Columbia's Amsa Yoga Studio(www.amsayoga.com).
I am fortunate enough to be a short walk away from an amazing community of nurturing instructors and practitioners. For each class I will give a brief description of what I felt was Good, Bad, and Yummy. The Good will be an area I feel I am making progress in, the Bad will be an area that I will try to work further on or need to adjust my attitude towards, and the Yummy will be something cool that I especially enjoyed and/or made me smile.
1)Good: My hero pose (Virasana) www.yogajournal.com/poses/490 is getting better. I used to really dread whenever this pose came up. It still is difficult to stay in for a long time for me without fidgeting and having my mind chatter, but I am in a better place now than I was just a few weeks ago.
2)Bad: When I go from Chaturanga Dandasana www.yogajournal.com/poses/469 to Up Dog (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana) www.yogajournal.com/poses/474 after I've been in plank pose for a little while my belly keeps scraping the ground. Just gotta keep working on it and building up some more core strength and endurance.
3)Yummy: One of the practitioners is completing teacher training and the class was fortunate enough to enjoy adjustments from both her and Kimberly. I thank you and my formerly bent triangle pose thank you.
4)Bonus Yummy: My friend Kerry was right behind me and helped me focus with her steady Pranayama Breathing. Thanks Kerry. Your breath is awesome. ; )
Thanks everyone for reading and I'll be back soon with more yoga adventures.
