Ok I know I've been slacking on my blogging but I promise that I haven't been slacking on my yoga. Tuesday, I went to library yoga which was awesome as always. The teacher has been doing different things since she's come back from her vacation. Specifically, more binds. I can certainly do it, it just definitely takes some warming up first, which Priyanka rocks at. Then yesterday, I did some more restorative stretches before bed which just makes me feel good in general.
And now today. This morning, I went for a run and took my cell phone with me. Sometimes I leave it at home, but brought it along today in my sports bra. However, I hadn't realized how many inches I'd actually lost until my phone came dangerously close to falling out the bottom of my bra. Clearly, I need some new sports bras. But on to yoga. I decided to do a yoga for runners sequence as it seemed apropos for today and it included a couple of basic sun salutations. Lately, I been trying to work on my chaturanga and I finally had a breakthrough. So, I can flow through chaturanga but I have thus far been unable to hold it at the bottom. But, thinking about it the other day, I remembered that I can do crow pose so I have the strength in my arms to support the full weight of the rest of my body, so I must be doing something slightly off with my chaturanga. After some contemplation and reading and watching and such, I tried something. I kept my hips a bit higher than I usually do and totally nailed it today! Not only did I get it, I was like, "Oh yeah, I could definitely hold this for a while." Epic, you guys. Epic.
