I attempted a somewhat lacklustre practice but going into Dandasana I realized that my heart's not in it. And I reflected back on what I read on how to cope with yoga 'burnout' days - to leave your ego out and do less than on previous practice. That worked. I did simple stretching - mainly on the pigeon pose and the handstand and forearm stand. Cried the whole time.
Got a sweet reply from the visiting Mysore teacher after I thanked her for teaching:
Hello Nadia!
It was pleasure having you in class. I'm really impressed at how well you have taken to the practice in such a short time. Never apologize for sweaty palms and feet! It comes with the territory. A good sweat is healthy for the body. I worry when people don't sweat, haha.
Please feel free to email me anytime you feel the need. Never hesitate. I don't know everything, but I would be happy to share my experience and answer anything you may be curious about or at the very lease point you in the right direction.
Best of luck with everything. Hopefully I will be able to pass through KL again in the future!
Namaste
I love the fact that she taught me how to do Urdhva Dhanurasana properly, especially the alignment of the arms. Ive been working on it as well, and my body does feel lighter with the arms properly stacking. I've also been doing Purvottanasana daily - just to give my body a good stretch and to strengthen the rotator cuffs. Doing the upper body stretch over the blocks have also opened my chest and my arms a little bit.
Today I plan to be doing a full primary, have been missing it. I have also been missing cycling and running. More cycling as my knees are officially kaput. Been reigniting my love for cycling the past week, cycling up to 14km at high intensity.
Namaste!
