First Practice Post Injury

Yesterday was first home practice.

I swore to take it easy. I swore to focus on what I could do, what my body allows and to really appreciate my breathing.

I did a slow and lovely Surya Namaskar A and B, 5 each, not jumping back (to avoid weight and pressure on shoulders) but stepping back instead. I tried to allow my body follows my breathing, to make sure my downward dog isn't sketchy (the breathing). I absorbed everything around me. My cat, etc.

Then I did a slow set of Standing Postures. No pressure, no overstretching. Whatever that feels good, I maintain. My left knee hurts a little bit, but this time I let that pain go. There's nothing I could do for that knee anymore. And I am ok with that.

Standing postures were good, I breathed full 5 breaths. On postures where I think I need more work (Parivrtta Parsva Konasana) I stayed for 6 breaths each. As usual Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana and the next 2 kill me. It was hard enough to make me sweat bad!

I finished with Tolasana. No inversions.

Can't wait to get stronger :)
