Feeling a little less on top of things today as I would like to be.
Today I chose to study and drawing out poses to ingrain in my memory before I went to yoga studio for class today. I doing a full yoga class before hand bt today I thought I would switch it. I did my practise today after lectures. I don't think I am going to do this again 'cas I feel like I was very tired and couldn't give it my all in the class after my lecture. I just didn't have it. Plus my morning was full of dealing with emails, things Lane needs done in Nevis and Canada and tenant stuff in Canada we both need to deal with. So in the end my time for yoga work was very limited even though I thought I was giving myself more time.
I need to reline my focus and stop being pulled in too many directions.
I am not use to only focusing on ONE thing and so I am struggling being able to say "I am sorry but those things are just going to have to wait". I know with my personality I like to take it all on and figure it out and this course is forcing me to realise it's demands are too high to devote my attention to other things. So it's a great challenge.
Today we did a bind fold exercises where we had to go through all the poses we have learned in sequence with a partner till he had it prefect. We weren't allowed to actually do the poses either in this section of the class just smiley talk it all out blind folded the poses in the order they come in with the variation as to how to do them. It was an intense exercise. I didn't think i could do it so special thank you to Illy (my classmate) for forcing me to actually a faith in my memory and abilities to actually do it. It was awesome.
I tired doing full peacock pose today which didn't work out too well but I will get it :P Did side crow which was awesome. Very cool - my arms awesome. Learned though that with these arm poses it is actually boat pose that is the most important for your core which makes sense but isn't obvious at 1st.
No I get to sketch the poses muscle - man there is a lot of drawing in this class - my stick men poses make me laugh! One of my best friends posted on my face book today commenting on my drawing in this course "See, those horrible art classes you were forced to take at UVic (university) all those years ago finally have a purpose! :)"
