5th day :)

5th Day!

 I can't believe it. I never did more than 2 straight days in a row of ashtanga :)

 The third day was the worst. I felt tired, sluggish and weak. No energy to even jump or focus on the jump.

 Today was beautiful. Maybe it's all in the mind. I got to focus on my jump throughs, my chaturrangga, my poses my breathing. The teacher helped me on my Trikonasana A again, which when asked she said she was deepening my pose. I thought I was doing something wrong.

 She also taught me how to do the vinyasa from Padmasana after my Kukkutasana. It was hard but worth it. So much core power. She said it was ok to do less than 9 rolls but maybe I should strive for 5.

 I got her advices on the wheel. It was eye opening. All this while my arms weren't even straight... the elbows were splayed out, it wasn't stacked therefore did not feel light. It was hard work and I needed to rest before attempting again. I'm going to attempt to do 5... with rest. My usual practice was to just go through Urdhva Dhanurasana to finish it. Now I gotta change my mindset to really enjoy it even it if was the last pose.
 in primary.

Rest day for the weekend. Maybe some light running or cycling.

And last day with the teacher on Monday :( I really like her.
