FEELING AMAZING FOR A MONDAY!! (except I just drunk off milk and tim tams..arghh).
Class was awesome tonight I am back on that crazy energy post class again. I got an adjustment tonight from a different chiro than normal and holy shit balls he cracked me good. He cracked different spots than normal and then going straight into class I could feel how my shoulders were just much more relaxed...everyone has to get onto chiro care - its can fix things you didnt know you had problems with.
Im still going strong on the no coffee thing still and I dont really miss it, I will however have one massive coffee when I land in Melbourne next week.
The class before us came out looking all exhausted so I was a bit scared to be going into the already pre-haeted room but it turned out to be just perfect. I got in early set my mat up in a spot next to the wall...next thing I know, I come in to lay down and little miss jokestar (Malama aka MAMAMA) suddenly moved my mat right next to the teacher haha made me laugh - we have a lot of fun her and a few other girls.
Before going into class I was reading the MasterClass and was reading on the "Tourniquet Effect". I only started hearing about this when I joined Bonfire. The effect involves pressure and release. So if I try and put this into my own words, when we hold a pose that pin points a certain part in our body, and hold it for a moment then release, all the fresh blood releases flushing anything in its way. In this book it explains it is good to "hold the pose with no interim release of grip or position", so it is good to move slowly into the pose (depends on some thought) and at the last few seconds push to your maximum. I tried this in class with my Standing Bow, I know with my right leg I can bring it up higher than my left so I always push hard right away which I then end up falling out sooner. Tonight I went slowly and in the last few seconds I held on tighter and kicked right up....that way I was able to stick with the posture creating a Tourniquet effect to the maximum capability (I hope this is right, if any teachers read this please correct me).
Im going to make myself a goal right now..I want to be able to do Full Camel by Christmas this year!!
I had a work friend who is a Yogini too if I wanted to compete..haha whattttt?? Thats crazy talk. But I would like to try it just to see how the whole process goes...its all just for fun after all. So maybe if i find a state level competition I will try my best.
Anyways, I just had a chat with my bestie in Switzerland via Skype, I am missing her sooo much. Her and her hubbie do this every year to me, go and travel somewhere around the globe. She just made my night - love ya dude!
