To be honest I’m not quite sure how to approach this post. But yet here we are. Kinda the way I ended up on the mat this morning. I knew it would be hard. And it was. I wasn’t sure how I’d do, or how I’d feel afterward but still we try...
It wasn’t a practice for the history books that’s for DAMN sure. But I know I’m better off now than I would have been if I didn’t try at all. So I guess that’s something right?
Today’s class was 73 minutes long, so I knew I’d have to pace myself. I took a lot of modifications, and I’m nowhere near headstand territory so for those bits I just took time out, stretched, and met up with the next downward dog into chutarunga.
Dayleeo trying to figure out how to do a headstand without hurting herself...
It’s Saturday. I’m sore, and tired but I’m proud of myself that its been 16 days straight of yoga and I’m still here <3
+ Deep thoughts?
Today, during shavasana a quote that we read last nightfrom Ikigai came up. It was from Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh who would say:
“Hello Solitude. How are you today? Come, sit with me, and I will care for you.
It got me wondering if that was the inspiration of the beginning line of Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel, and then all I could think of is all the memes that song brought about.
I guess it started off as a deep thought… and then became, as most things do, memes. What do you want from me, It’s a Saturday and my toes were going numb from the cold!
I’ll see you in a bit for day 5 of the B&W Photo Challenge(that's day 4 if you're interested) and until we meet again, stay warm, eat something nice today, and try to remember to take some time to chill down. I know I'm going to.
