This morning was a lovely class with an instructor I'd never worked with before, Angela. What a dear. :D She had this amazing voice and was super-receptive to what people needed. The class itself was incredibly gentle -- very slow and meditative with a LOT of hip work. Lots of times when I do hip work I find it leaves me worn out, emotionally, but the last few days have been super tense, so I left the class full of energy and ideas, bouncy.
I will say, though, I'm SORE now. In that I have to crawl up into the car sort of sore way.
Weirdly enough, the more challenging pose was the last one -- we were supposed to lay out in an 'x' on our back on the mat. Now, I have a bum shoulder so my x was less...xy than it might be, but that wasn't it. It was uncomfortable on my upper back, shoulders, and incredibly challenging to sink into.
Yes, that's it. I was challenged by laying on the floor. O.o
Interesting thing I noticed today, my breath doesn't flow. I breathe in. Stop. Breathe out. Stop. And it's a real effort to not do that.
Namaste, y'all.
