Today's class was led by everyone's favorite ashtanga teacher who no longer teaches ashtanga with any great regularity, missed teaching ashtanga so she decided to lead us through a pared down ashtanga class. What does that mean? Fucked if I know but it is almost as fun to type as it is to say. Ashtanga! I just know that I was a little sore and tired from yesterday's class and this did not sound like a brilliant idea at the time. Still, except for some extra long holds of downward-facing dog it was an excellent class today.
Instructor: Rebecca
Pain level: Yellow
Highlight of the class: In a meditative pose Rebecca asked us to hold ourselves in stillness despite urges to fidget. This brought a wry smile to my face as I often play this game with my cats in the morning. I never, ever win.
Favorite posture: Virabhadrasana I (warrior I). Felt good on my groin which probably means I was doing it wrong.
Least favorite posture: Adho mukha svanasana (downward-facing dog). As previously mentioned this pose was harder than normal due to exhaustion in the arms. Fortunately there was another penis in the class today and its surrounding body seemed to shake during these holds as well. Or my vision was shaky from my own inability to hold, but I stand by my reasoning.
