Monday is a class holiday. In the studio with a friend who attends class with me quite regularly. We are going to do a practice on our own. I drive the yoga train and picked up the yoga "rat pack" three or more times a week. The difference between the mat to mat class with an instructor and doing it on our own is timing. After I don't know how many classes, still needed to get up and read the list of poses before heading to the studio to secure it in the mind. Luckily, had help. We did not miss any of the poses. And we did each pose twice. A long pre-class savasana (10 minutes) and started 6:30 am. We finished 15 minutes early at 8:15 am. Timing. the first set a little too fast perhaps? The savasana too quick, maybe. After this chance, I am convinced learning happens best in a classroom. Self taught is not the same. This is the second time I have practiced in a studio without an instructor. This time all the poses were done in the correct order - progress.
Yoga pose tip of the day: Standing separate forehead to knee pose. Arms smushed next to ears, palms flat together, fully engaged in a long stretch for the entire posture.
