Today was one of THOSE days when it comes to my troubled history with yoga. I started late, for a good reason this time, but late nonetheless. I picked my spots to skip, and they were not my trouble spots. I worked my way through the first half, with all the Vinyasas, Upward Dog, Downward Dog, push ups in between, and then as best I could through the Warrior 3 sequences.
I skipped the Warrior Lunges and Reverse Warrior in the middle, in an attempt to shave time off the workout, with the intention of doing the rest. My first Crane pose was good, with toes bouncing off the ground. The second one, not so much. Then I did the abdominal exercises. After that, it’s a little hazy, because I didn’t take my usual notes, but there was an interruption from the family, and I had to cut it short right there somewhere. No stretches, no Plough to Shoulder Stand, no relaxation at the end.
To put this in a positive light:
- I did SOME yoga, rather than NO yoga
- I broke a sweat, and exercised for about 45 minutes
- I didn’t skip the parts that are difficult for my shoulders and my balance
