day 9: upper back and shoulders

30 minutes - vinyasa for athletes

not being an athlete, i feel i may not have benefited as much from this class as say, a footballer, but i do have tight shoulders and this certainly worked out those areas. it is the first proper level 2 class i've done since i started the 30 day yoga challenge and i think it's safe to say that i'm not quite there yet. i got totally out of breath and couldn't get as deep into the poses as i would have liked.

we did one section that started in warrior 2 and keeping my legs in that stance, i brought my right arm up toward my head with my arm bent and my left arm pulled my elbow back. it was a great stretch, but we held it for so long that my arms started to tingle and now my right arm is still tingling. that was an unanticipated outcome.

on the whole, it was a good morning practice. this morning, i really wanted to stay in bed and skip it altogether. i'm glad i didn't.
