I dragged myself to my mat this morning grabbing Sue Delfs lesson plan on the way. I have slept through my alarm and have to work today so every excuse possible goes through my head as to why I should just jump into the shower and forget this practice – just for today.
I start my practice feeling incredibly stiff and not connected to my body in anyway at all. Just going through the motions really. Then I get to Trikonasana. It feels wrong for my body to be in this pose today. I try again – no not ok for my body at all. So the lesson plan goes out of the window and I practice a few sun salutations. This is feeling better. I then go through my body doing some stretching exercises. I start at the top and work my way down. My body creaks and groans with stiffness. I finally find the floor for the final part of my practice.
40 mins of practice and I am feeling lighter and my body is thanking me for releasing some of the stiffness and tension that I have been ignoring.
More of the same tomorrow J
