Sometimes a class is exactly what you need. We started the class in elevated savasana with a blanket folded up beneath our spines so we could get some opening through our abdomens. Blah, blah, blah. There is a lot of meditation involved in yoga. This is not a skill I possess. You are supposed to release your day at the door and take deep breaths while concentrating on the practice. During these times I usually try not to think about boobs because boners are hard to hide in mesh shorts, especially when you are laying on your back. This time I noticed a feeling of drunkenness. I closed my eyes and the room started spinning. Obviously I am not drinking before these classes as I am taking it a little more seriously than that, but I have not been sleeping as well as I would have hoped and it is taking its toll. Rebecca took requests at the beginning of class and based on customer input worked the back quite a bit. This meant a lot of long holds in various twisted positions. This is a long-winded way of saying my head was spinning, I had a lot of baggage from lack of sleep and actually attempting to work at work, and this class focused me right up.
Instructor: Rebecca
Pain level: Orange
Highlight of the class: Rebecca tried to carry about 37 blocks (estimated) and they inevitably tumbled to the ground. There is something comedic about incredibly coordinated people looking as clumsy as I do on an every day basis.
Favorite posture: Savasana. When your head is spinning and your eyes are heavy and you have not even taken the simplest of drugs laying in stillness is a wonderful release.
Least favorite posture: None. I loved this class. I am sure there was something I grimaced through at the time, but the feeling of relaxation and comfort when I walked out made it all worth it.
