Day Twenty-two

Today we were told that we would be concentrating on our upper body. Well that is good news, what could possibly go wrong with upper body work? It is my lower body that is all broken, the upper body works pretty well. At least, I thought it did. I managed to tweak my elbow doing one of the three versions of cobra we performed. Of COURSE I hurt my elbow in cobra. I mean, I cannot go through any sort of physical activity without hurting myself, right? It is the law, apparently.

Instructor: Matt
Pain level: Orange
Highlight of the class: Sitting down on my mat. I actually arrived at class ten minutes early but due to some incompetence at the head of the line I was late to class. Go figure.
Favorite posture: Vasisthasana (side plank). This one just felt good to stretch into.
Least favorite posture: Balasana (child's pose). Normally I love me a relaxation pose, but sometimes you are faced with an important question. Is that ball sweat on my mat from Bhujangasana (cobra)? That is ball sweat on my mat from bhujangasana. Collapse onto my mat? Uh, thanks.
