Power Yoga Class with Laurie!
So getting out of bed this morning was a challenge. However, I told myself I'm making the most out of this yoga journey and once I get into the rhythm of going regularly it'll be less of a struggle. My left side lower back was still a little sore from Tuesday but I kept telling myself the more yoga I do, the better it will get…
This class was great, and a super tough workout! You are completely drenched in sweat because not only is it none stop moving but for most of the time the heat is also turned on. It was a small class and overall a little more advanced for my level, but I liked the challenge and it forced me to work even harder. I have to say this morning I wasn't 100% focused on the present and that is one aspect of yoga that I struggle with conquering. A lot of times my mind wanders, I definitely was thinking about how much I was struggling with each pose instead of focusing on improving the pose and concentrating on my breath and what I was doing... I was also thinking about what i was going to eat for breakfast hehehe Anyway, after this class I realized how much I want to work on to get to a full head stand, holding my bridge and crow pose and improve my plow goals. I believe that if I commit to practice by the end of the semester I can achieve all my goals.

By the end of the class, and the next day, my back was hurting even more… I think I need some major acupuncture. But in the meantime back to Yoga tomorrow. Who knows maybe my theory will come true and I will get rid of the pain? Or maybe my back will be shot out for good? We shall see!
