A part of me was a little nervous today, but I tried to put that aside. Every day is different, every class is different. I was tired all day, but maybe that just meant I would be energized by my practice tonight.
Kyle was definitely energized! She was teaching tonight and had the Beach Boys playing in the studio before class to pump herself up.
Some parts of my practice were strong, some sets I sat out. I tried to concentrate on slowing and deepening my breath throughout.
It was good.
The following song by Ben Lee came up on my playlist today, and it came to mind as I was walking home after class. I think it describes where I am in this yoga journey now.
Namaste.
Whatever It Is
Are you changing, are you changing, are you changing?
Do you know it, do you feel it, do you know it?
But you're waiting, why're you waiting, why're you waiting?
Just do it, whatever it is.
There are secrets, there are secrets, there are secrets.
There are places, there are places, you can go to.
They might tell you, yeah they'll tell you, that you shouldn't.
Just do it, whatever it is, whatever it is,
Just do it, whatever it is, whatever it is,
Go do it, whatever it is, whatever it is,
Just do it, whatever it is.
And you're dancing, and you're looking kinda crazy.
And your arms, are making little circles.
There are reasons, there are reasons, you can find out.
So do it, whatever it is, whatever it is,
Just do it, whatever it is, whatever it is,
Go do it, whatever it is, whatever it is,
Whatever it is, whatever it is.
It's so quiet, it's so quiet, it's so quiet.
And you're dreaming, and you're dreaming,
And you're dreaming.
I turn to you and say
Awake is the new sleep, awake is the new sleep
So wake up. And do it, whatever it is.
Just do it, whatever it is.
'Cause awake is the new sleep,
Awake is the new sleep
So wake up
Wake up.
And do it, whatever it is, whatever it is,
Just do it, whatever it is, whatever it is,
Go do it, whatever it is, whatever it is
Just do it, whatever it is, whatever it is.
PS: Thanks to everyone who left a comment last night {I responded at the end of that post but it occurred to me that people probably don't look at previous post once they've read and/or commented the first time.} Thanks to my friend Madelyn who sent me a wonderfully encouraging e-mail through FB today and thanks to Kyra who took good care of me after class last night and has promised to put a star on the chart when I hit 30 days!

Wow- that is a perfect challenge song!!
I like that you gave your practice what you had full force, and then sat down if you had to. It was funny, I was watching your balancing stick and was about to mention how much you were rocking the yoga, and then I turned around and you were sitting! haha. But you know, I think one set where you push it and give it everything that you have, followed by sitting for a second is always good. Better than 2 weak sets.
Your postures are looking strong. And as I told you, I can see your physical transformation as well. Sucking the stomach in is working for you!!
You are almost halfway. Woo hoo!! It's downhill from there!!
