Yoga Bee Hive

Day 2       98 to go
'

Its 6 pm and I am sitting down to my breakfast, my lunch and dinner all at once, as I kept missing morning classes due to email, work and inspections.  And I ran into one of my favorite people in the grocery store! Yay, Good day. Instructor talked every single micro second of the class.  That is good and bad.  And one of the people who worked at the studio came in one minute before the class started and put a mat down right in front of the student next to me. This was after I just asked another person who came in and put their mat own 100% in front of me if they could move a little which set of  off a mini shifting of everyone mats, the random yoga worker bee  came in and plopped a toweled mat down 100% in front of the gal next to me, the gals who was so nice and offered to shift to make room for me so I could get part of the mirror ws now 100% blocked by an empty mat.  Yoga Bee told us we needed to move our mats so  Yoga Bee could make room for a student  not even in the studio.

 I pointed out that she could move the latecomers' mat to another spot that did not block anyone as a courtesy to the people who were already in the studio.  This is a big pet peeve of mine, like the prodigal son,  concessions at the expense of  the dependable people in favor of the flakey latecomers.  

 Yikes... Me and my big mouth. Everyone got disgruntled. 

Yoga Tip of the day: Trikonasana Triangle Pose. Improves stamina. Works the adductor muscles. Think ice skater or ballroom dancer moves.  A favorite pose, it takes strength. Everyone can master this standing pose. Keep your trapezoids  from rising up  when you stretch your arms out. REALLY stretch your hands and palms across the chest to finger tip to fingertip strong.  Keep your  eyes to the mirror. Do not turn your head when you turn your foot. Take a moment, rotate your arms and palms towards the mirror before you tilt your body to stretch your arms up and down. Place your chin so it is touching the upwards shoulder.  You will feel powerfully  awesome.

day 81/19 to go

Sunday after work, stuck in Folsom Street Faire traffic, my throat gave out. Red raw raspy and 19 days to go. How will I ever crush Jennifer (92 days in a row and is the studios top DRC number)

if I keep falling ill in the final count down days to my 100 days of yoga in a row goal?

BYC studio policy for DRC is no make up classes, no classes in other studios, it is one class every day, same studio. no 2 on Saturday and take Sunday off. This makes the DRC serious. I blame this illness on my attempt to cook food. I rambled about in my kitchen and threw things that were once considered food items purchased during the Eisenhower Administration into a crock pot and cooked them useless.

Is this veggie goop what took me down? It tasted good. Sort of like moose and squirrel stew. Am trying to eat healthy. I eat as much as I want as long as it is vegetable or fruit. Home early - to bed early and slept in past the 6am class. Entered the 9:30am class itching for fight, someone was poking at my dog outside, "she shouldn't be blocking the door" Bhah- That is her job. She is busy herding all of us the studio and sitting at the threshold of the door. protecting us. It's inbred. 60

minutes into the class could not breathe. Left the studio after the standing series. Really rare for me to leave, yet the second time in three months. Both for the same reason, can't breathe and the face is completely numb. Which is really a disturbing symptom of (not enough fox tv)?

Went home - Came back at 4:30 pm to keep the days in a row show going. 60 minutes is not a full class right? Actually feel much better, ate more goop. Maybe I need 150 minutes of yoga very day instead of the "normal" 90.

should try and throw in a few doubles in the countdown week.. I'll never be more primed than I am right now to do it.

Yoga tip of the day:awkward pose- Utkatasana

keep your legs arms and shoulders six inches apart and pull your heels up and out towards the mirror, keep your spine centered and eyes straight, chin parallel to the floor. Pushing the tops of your thigh bones down towards your heels will allow you to remain in this posture longer.
