Summers Day of rain and ummmmm no power!
Day 8 has me at the studio nice and early for our Australia day weekend and a morning class with a close friend of mine all the way from Toronto.
Paul from our team here at Bonfire thought it would be a good idea to put everyone on the right side of the class as there was only a small amount of people practicing and it worked out really well. We only had one newbie and he will great considering the heat was bonkers!
I felt dizzy coming out the second set of Standing Separate Leg Stretching so I had to take a knee but that posture is one of my favourite cause I love the intense stretching in the back of my thighs. One thing I need to do is buy new yoga crop tops because at the moment Im wearing cheapo crop tops from Kmart or something and they dont soak up sweat well it just ends up becoming too wet and when Im doing a posture like Standing Separate Leg Head to Knee pose the sweat just drips into my nose and I feel like I am drowning haha silly I know but I cant quite work pass the drowning part of my practice :)
I have on and off days and today was slightly off for my forward bends. Standing Head to Knee on my right side is always a struggle in the first set and in the second thats when I like to kick out. Today I felt tight on both sides which is strange cause my left side I can normally kick out on the first set right away. Thing to do is, is to always listen to the body and just go to where your body can take you. There is Good Pain and Bad Pain - so just LISTEN and Breathe - there is no ego in Yoga !

I am feeling a bit tired right now (5.50pm) which could have to do with the lack of sleep (no power = no fan) and we still dont have power so I am enjoying being here at the studio and being able to charge my phone.
I am grateful that this yoga has opened up a new world for me and that it has taught me so much. If there was one thing I could share with a newbie is, if you stick it out you will gain so much from this both physically but more so mentally.
Until tomorrow x
