Yesterday's class was horrible. I could barely stand through standing series, taking a knee for more poses than I actually did. I couldn't get my heart to slow and I couldn't get my eyes to focus. I thought I might die. Really. This, especially coming off of a great standing series on Tuesday, was upsetting. I heard the teacher tell me to get out of my head, and I tried to, but I just couldn't. Luckily she said this when we went into floor series, "time to forget the standing series, this is the floor, it's a totally different practice." My floor series was great! and surprisingly energizing. I went directly home to go to sleep because I knew I had to go to an early class today in order to keep my plans for tonight.
This morning's class was great! Seriously, I was able to do every single posture. both times. I even got to relish in a strong camel again. It's like coming home. I was surprised by this after yesterday's class, and also considering my morning class on Monday when I felt so tired the whole time. What a difference a week makes! It was the first time in weeks that I had a new instructor and I loved her. I should note, that I really like the instructor I had last night too. She teaches a lot of classes during the week and I always feel like she is in my head when she makes comments.
So, now I'm at work. I feel alive and awake and I think I got the absolute best I could out of my yoga experience this morning. I'm excited to go out this evening and really looking forward to this weekend!
I have a question for you guys - I am having a hard time finding a good post-yoga food. If any of you have found that perfect snack/meal to tide you over, please share. I always find that if I try to make a meal after yoga, I'm too famished and I'll just scarf a bowl of cheerios, by the time my food is made, I'm too tired and ready to just go to bed.
Happy Friday!
