I awoke to the most wonderful frosty morning! Everything looks so beautiful today. I am the only one who is awake and so I take advantage of the silence to get my yoga mat out. I have really started to enjoy practicing on my own. Where I was struggling before to decide what to do next my body is now leading me into the next posture. This is a little repetitive but I do not think that matters. I am sure I will slowly build up to incorporating more variety. I will carry on listening to what my body wants. I am beginning to notice an improvement in my arm strength. My yoga teacher, Khatun, has suggested that I widen the distance between my hands in Adho Mukha Svanasana. This feels more comfortable to me and so I will make a conscious effort to remember this change.
I have started to incorporate a short Pranayama sequence at the end of my practice. I find this a quiet but a more energetic way to finish my practice rather than Savasana which leaves me with low energy for my day.
