I am grateful I joined this yin yoga class tonight. It’s the perfect time for me before dinner. I like her voice and she usually is reading something of a good inspirational book. I say that yin is not for me. It’s often too much when the body is quiet and the thoughts start to rise. Lots of thoughts these days. Regret. Doubts about recent choices and choices overall. All that cannot be changed anymore. I know that. All I can do is in the here and now. Which I cannot get myself to decide atm, get into action. Time will show. At least I am sober

Yin is definitely contemplative. Sending some gentle hugs your way.

I am still plugging away at YWA. Got up to day 25 this week. Didn’t quite have time for day 26, so did one of her short videos instead.
Honestly could have done a little more. Went for a shorter one so as not to keep my partner up… Of course he is snoring away happily 
Should be on track to finish YWA this week. Am really happy with that. It feels like a big personal growth thing for me - just keeping going at my own pace. Rather than setting my expectations too high, getting upset about not meeting them, and giving up Obviously it’s just a few weeks so not exactly a lifetime habit. But it feels relatively sustainable for now at least.

I support this. 
I’ve been enjoying an unlimited yoga pass at one of the local studios. I love the power flow classes but have been balancing with some more restorative and meditation based classes. And my girlfriends and partner are doing it too. Team activity

I am struggling with stress and pressure today and it was hard to find my way to the mat…
Twisting legs, I just cried from deep inside.
Anyway, a good lesson. End with legs on the wall was relaxing. Still not okay at all, but hey.

Hey all! I haven’t been posting here, or even reading really, as my practice has been more about swimming recently (currently 7 months pregnant and dealing with a pretty substantial amount of leg nerve pain. The pool is the one time I don’t feel it!!)
But it’s been fun. I try to just apply the very same principles I do to my yoga practice to my swim practice: the breath is really all that matters, listen to your body, stay in the present moment.
The weightlessness has been a really big help as my belly continues to grow. I was teaching a small yoga class yesterday, and since there weren’t many people in it, I decided to practice with them. I modified as much as needed, and used class as a way to create a little warmth, hug in and make some space in my body. While something in me has been resisting a real yoga practice lately, I have to admit it felt delightful.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that: my body keeps calling to me “spend some time with me…it makes me happy…it makes YOU happy”
As much as I should know this by this point…it’s still nice to hear the reminder.

Listening to our body…sounds so simple!! A life long practice for sure. 
Glad you are enjoying your swimming and weightlessness!!
