Days 6 - 14 Yoga Challenge

I have come to the mat every day. I promised myself I would and so I have. Most of the past week, however, I have done little more than a few sun salutations.

Maybe my feeling hormonal and physically drained inspired this lull. Perhaps it was lack of motivation due to being unemployed and bored. Regardless, this week has been less than shining in the yoga category.

Tonight, at 10:30PM, I decided this aimless moping was enough. No more watching reruns and movies. No more overeating nut date cookies (well... maybe just not quite so many).

I lit a candle, dimmed the lights, and went to the mat. As I was still respecting my cycle and it was late at night, my practice did not contain any strenuous or inverted poses. It was beautiful. Once again I was floored by the strength in Mountain pose. Despite my less than herculean efforts in the past week, I am more centered and flexible than I was before. There is a core of peace and power growing in side me. I am looking forward to seeing where it goes.
