“Conquering any difficulty always gives one a secret joy, for it means pushing back a boundary-line and adding to one’s liberty.”
Henri Fredric Amiel
I am excited to have completed day three, and thrilled to have witnessed slight changes in my body. Okay, they were teeny tiny and most likely not able to be seen with the naked eye, but I truly felt them inside.
My bottom is actually touching my heels in Fixed Firm and will soon allow me to go back and lay upon the floor in a full stretch out. I am a little nervous to get into that position again, but willing to try.
My back remains really stiff and unbending, but I felt I could reach just a bit further, although my nose is quite a distance from my knee in many poses.
The bunched up knotted muscles of my shoulders were so happy to be in Eagle. It almost brings tears to my eyes to feel the pulling apart of the bundles.
I wasn't as sore before the yoga, but I still have places where there is a definite tenderness.
I will hold today’s advances as markers of success!
If you are doing yoga today, I hope you too find little pieces of success in each pose!
