Weekend

OK, I missed a few days posting. Gah.

Friday yoga was Shiva Rae Yoga Shakti, a disc that let’s you program selected poses. As far as the range of practice, its one of my favorites. I chose a light program with a lot of shoulder opening and forward bends. I was tired and not very focused but still felt better afterwards.

Friday night we went out, woowoo!, and I finished the night with an extremely strong Belvedere martini. The quadruple olives I ordered weren’t enough to save me from hangover – so Saturday’s yoga was 5 minutes of stretching that required ALL MY WILLPOWER to pull myself off the couch to do.

Alcohol, bad.

Today I did Bryan Kest Sweat. It’s a good 1 hour standby, but I’m tiring of the DVDs quickly. The yoga starts to feel rehearsed instead of fresh and alive. So I need to get back into doing a self-guided practice. Sometime this week I’ll put together a “set list” of about an hour.

I forgot to set an intention, but other than that, I was pretty focused and careful about long, deep breathing. I failed to do a good meditation at the end, because I started up the ol' mental to-do list. So I left myself off the hook and cut out after 3 or 4 minutes.
