Oh man. I barely did any yoga at all during the entire month of October, and I'm really feeling it. I did about a 45 minute practice tonight, and discovered that I have no arm muscles, no thighs, and no balance. I'm also a little concerned about my wrists and hands--I've been feeling some tightness there for a while, and it's definitely increased since I haven't been practicing my yoga. Must stave off the carpal tunnel! Back to the mat!
I did all the basic standing poses, and my strength building exercises, and some seated stuff. Pidgeon felt so good I just wanted to hang out there all day. My hips are surprisingly okay--I would've thought I'd be all tight, but that area actually wasn't too bad. The thighs, though. Gad.
I'm going to practice at home again Wednesday, and then at least once over the weekend. Next week I'll go back to Lucia's yoga class, and maybe also be daring enough to try a studio. Or maybe I'll give myself another week to get back in shape. I don't want to push too hard. I can already tell I'm going to be a sore kitten tomorrow.
