Pam, how wonderful! I am thinking that I need to schedule a massage soon.

I think I'm going to do one of the Yoga with Tim practices today; I have a bit more energy on Saturdays, haha.

Day 34 : Meditation on my own

Day 35: Sarah Beth Yoga morning stretch practice

The Yoga with Tim practice I did today was labelled "Drishti Flow," but I think that was mislabeled. However, it had a really nice emphasis on upper back/thoracic spine and included brief foam roller work:

Day 25: Jill Miller YTU shoulder practice.

Today I went to a vinyasa flow class. This isn't usually my preferred style, but I enjoy it more with teachers who are mindful and intentional--the teacher today was trained by my own teacher.

I also did a bit of foam rolling after I got home, which felt great.

Day 37:
~Reading: The Daily Stoic, day 26
~YC: Boost Your Immunity on Your Back - This was very nice....twists, gentle backbends, & hip openers
~Headstand & legs up the wall

I’m into the home stretch!

Pam, that sounds very nice! Congrats on just a few more days to your sadhana.

Today I came up with the idea of a new yoga class theme, "Feeling awkward." The idea is that yoga class, like life, can be awkward, and that's okay.

Some ideas for poses in this class would be awkward chair (naturally), happy baby, lion's breath...if you have other ideas feel free to suggest!
