Finally, a day where I was well rested and had actually gotten to sleep the night before my yoga practice, instead of coming straight from work. I also got to the studio at around 8:45. It is the first time I have been there before 9:00 on the dot in about a month or maybe more. I was a little stiffer than usual because I had just woken up and gone into the studio, but i was able to loosen up rather quickly. Because Jenn had done Yoga with Laurie the day before and they worked on the inner leg, she decided we would work on the outer leg. I am definitely a tight individual, I felt every position with little depth necessary, but used my breathing to gradually get deeper into the posture. The whole practice was much better than usual, it is amazing what a world of difference sleep can make. I also stayed awake during shavasana, which is quite an accomplishment for me. We also busted out the straps today. I like the straps because I am a stiff person, so they really help me out.
