So theoretically this is an hour and fifteen minute class. At the end though, I could have sworn we had only been there around a half hour. So no levitation from our fearless leader, Kimberly, yet but time travel remains a possibility... Seriously, it's weird to me how classes that feature the fewest poses and the longest stretch of time between new variations often wind up going so fast. Anyways, this was a great class and I really felt like there was a wonderful cumulative effect as each asana built on the last.
Good: I am not sure how, but I wound up in One-Legged King Pigeon Eka Pada Rajakapotasana http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/863 with the back leg bent and grasped in my hand. I don't remember being able to do that before. I am definitely getting stretchier and stronger. I am also getting hungrier though. Hopefully I won't just end up a giant stretchy ball.
Bad: So I am not sure if my breathing is getting worse or if it has always been really bad and the more I focus on it the more I realize how much I need to work on. On the positive side, I am starting to understand the extent breathing is the foundation for so much of yoga.
Yummy: Lots and lots of Yum to choose from. Really good adjustments helped me get the most out of the poses. Elizabeth was there and that always helps. Best of all, Amanda was able to share another class with me and is trying to adjust her schedule to get to more classes. It is a wide road and I need all the help I can get on this journey so hopefully she can walk alongside me for a good portion of it.
I am going to try for a yoga hat trick (3 classes) tomorrow. Wish me luck!
