2-26-11....90 min vacay from the cold.

This winter I am very thankful I have Yoga...why??? I get to spend 90 minutes in a 99 degree room sweating my ass off while outside its 48 degrees outside. Do we really need any other explanation?? I was telling my friend George this past Thursday I think yoga is another reason why I haven't become depressed this winter. You get heat, a bright room to stretch out in, be sweaty and you get to wear shorts while the rest of world are little ice cubes. The challenge has been just that...a challenge. I missed 3 days..and I first I felt a little down about it, but I figure I'll fail if I don't go back at all. So some poses have been easier to get into. My break through this week was the Camel pose. FREAKING FINALLY!! However, I did jinx myself this morning. I couldn't seem to get my hips to go back so I could reach my ankles...and when I did move my head up..I swear I felt like I had a baseball bat smack me between my eyes. I don't know what was the cause of it...but it made me feel like shit for about 5 minutes. I pretty much held my head until the pain passed. After that class was good. It has been packed for the past few classes and I cant wait until I can go at noon. It's been pretty cool knowing that my day involves yoga. I think Ray is probably tired of me talking about class when he wakes up..but I don't think he minds too much. I hope tomorrow's Camel is better than today's. I'm too damn cold to think anymore. See you tomorrow.
