Day 74 – One on One Yoga

I really thought about doing P90X2 Yoga today. But, I know I like the One on One Yoga and it’s a good length. My only qualm is the lack of verbal direction, which isn’t bad now that I’ve done it multiple times. Anyhow, I still enjoy this one. And today I did chaturanga!! Only once, though I was close several more times. Felt awesome to push through on that.

I’ve really missed yoga. It hasn’t been included in the schedule for the previous 3 weeks and prior to that I had my week off for being sick. My body really thanked me today. I was worried going in since I’m still sore from Plyocide. But the stretching felt so great. My shoulders are now aching and there were times during it that I thought my legs were done… but overall such a great feeling to get all stretched out and whatnot.

The first time we did chair pose I thought “wow, this is easy when you’re not running or jumping at the same time.” But by the 6th time I thought “okay it’s hard again, especially on one leg.” Then again I remember when I first did this disk and thought it was impossible to do chair on one leg.

Another move I was able to do today: downward dog with hand touching opposite leg and then lifting the same leg as hand. Hard to picture? Hard to do.

I love seeing obvious progress!
