The problem with this workout is that it’s 90 minutes long. Hard to fit into an early morning. I got out of bed when the alarm went off at 4:30 and went through my morning routine, but this workout left me with five minutes until I needed to walk out the door. It’s hard to get all you should from yoga when you’re feeling like you should be rushing. In the interest of time (and admittedly, frustration) I skipped crane pose and all the relaxation/corpse pose/’om’s at the end. I rarely can balance crane for any amount of time, so I didn’t see the point in trying for 60 seconds today. Nor did I need to relax when the workout was over; I needed to get out the door.
I generally have a hard time with not feeling drawn to multitasking when I workout and the length of yoga made it that much harder. Today I found myself folding blankets instead of doing mountain pose between salutations. Clearly the spirit of yoga was not in me this morning.
I know this routine is on the schedule for the next two weeks and I refuse to get up earlier than 4:30. So, we’ll see how my Tuesdays pan out. I haven’t looked past this 3 week segment to see if there is more Yoga X in my future. If there is I may just switch back to One on One Yoga; the poses are harder and the time is shorter.
All that negative stuff aside, I do enjoy the flexibility segment of this workout. It’s like adding stretch after doing One on One Yoga. Some of the balance moves are also nice. I think one of the things I prefer with the One on One Yoga is the balance moves are more mixed in with the sun salutations.
I look forward to seeing what P90X2 has in store for Yoga. No doubt that it’ll be a challenge. I’m hoping it’s an under-an-hour challenge.
