day 20: sun salutations

30 minutes - sun salutations and so on

from yoga journal

i feel like a kid who left her homework at school. i woke up this morning without a plan for my practice and ended up choosing a class focused on repetition. really, the class had participants do 10 series A sun salutations and then i did the first of 10 series B sun salutations before i turned off the class and did my own thing.

rather than continue to be annoyed with the class, i chose to follow what my body wanted to do. i did some forward bends, a standing balancing pose, cobbler's pose, a twist and happy baby. it felt really good to practice on my own without someone chatting at me. while i certainly didn't look like the model in the picture, i got a good stretch.

tonight, i'm actually going to do my homework and make a plan for myself for tomorrow morning. then, when i start going to the studio once a week (thanks to my amazing birthday present!), it will be a welcome feeling to be guided through a practice.
