I started yoga again over the last month. Two to three times a week I fire up the DVD and work out for 45 minutes. I am substituting it for weight lifting since we didn't bring the weights with us. I know - not a good substitute but at least it does do strength work.
Regardless...some days...I (in my own mind) am a graceful yoga practitioner. (stop laughing) I am flexible enough I can do most of the full positions and don't struggle with them. I breathe correctly with no stress and the poses are easy and the work out relaxing and my flexibility improves. I am ready to actually go to the park and work with a group.
Then there was today - another reality check. Flailing left and right, no concentration and completely unable to stay in some of the positions without losing balance and stumbling across the room. At least I haven't gone through the mirrored closet doors. Very similar to a small child on a baseball field...there goes a butterfly...oh here's a dandelion...what baseball?
These kinds of days reinforce my decision to stay inside and practice a few more months before going to any public location to do yoga.
