Another great yoga class was especially sweet coming off the pajama party peak. No jammies this time, just moving with the breath and going with the flow.
Good: there was a little desert subtheme to this class as we rocked both Pyramid Parsvottanasana http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/1675 and Camel Ustrasana http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/688 I liked Pyramid because I am really enjoying getting my heart down (I am loving humble warrior also). Of course now that I have seen the crazy picture of the full extension on yoga journal I will get depressed over my puny pyramid, but I liked it during class. Camel is cool because I can slowly get into it by using a block to ease myself down. I have tried in the past to kinda jerk myself into it, but surprisingly the "fling your body and cross your fingers" method was not that successful.
Bad: Every class I take should probably come with the disclaimer that I did a bad job of breathing, but this one was a little extra bad. If a future blog is just a string of random letters (slightly different from now, I know) then it will be because I spent another hour of my life breathing twice or so.
Yummy: Aside from just still coasting from the pajama party good vibes and not beating myself up too much, it was also really cool to have Elizabeth be my mat buddy and practice next to me. her positive energy is contagious and it really helps to have a friend nearby. Thanks Elizabeth!
Join me next time when I promise to breath at least three times during class so they don't call the paramedics during pigeon pose.
