Woosh

I was sick last week with bronchitis so I was not able to go to Yoga. :( Today was my fist day back and it was amazing. We all voted to go easy today, because it's Monday, and Mondays suck. There was a lot of stretching and meditation today, perfect for Jenn, who still feels weak sometimes. The practice was very relaxing, but there were some stretches that seriously hurt. One of them had us gently putting pressure on one side of our head, and bringing our ear to the same shoulder. Then we stretched out arm out while holding out head in the same position and it felt like everything up to my fingertips were stretching. Awesome, but ouchie.

Meditation

Today yoga was all about meditation and focusing on your mental state. I was having a really hard time focusing on yoga with all of the other things going on in my life today. School stress and worry for my brother was paramount in my mind today. I became so frustrated with myself for not focusing, I lost whatever focus I could have had from the day. Oh man, who said yoga was easy?!
