Day 52 – One on One Yoga

I was amazed at how good 4:30 felt this morning. After a busy weekend and late evening I expected the alarm to go off way too early. Instead, I was awake, feeling refreshed 20 mins before the alarm. Course, I did crawl back into bed for the extra cuddle time with my daughter. But, I was ready to go when the alarm sounded!

It was really nice to return to this short 60 min yoga routine after three weeks of Yoga X. There are still moves I am unable to do, but I found myself enjoying much more of the routine.

I feel like I’m oh so close to chaturanga. I think I should have it in the next week or so… even if it’s getting it once during a routine. I’ve been here before, and that’s how I assume I’ll start. I’ll be a good month before I can consistently push through chaturanga. My left ankle/leg area was a little unsure of some of the stretches and I’m not sure what to think of that. It’s been feeling fine otherwise. Guess I’ll continue to stretch it to the feels good point and watch for any signs of it not feeling right.

One thing I’d forgotten was how much Tony loves the chair pose. When I got to work this morning I thought, “ I have a limit on how many chair poses I can do before climbing three flights of stairs; I have surpassed that.” On the other hand, I love that this is a yoga workout that makes me shake. It’s so nice to be challenged on a regular basis.
