  • Naturally relaxed….

    The more yoga I do, the deeper I go, the more places of stored tightness I find.  It is like there is a bottomless pit of resistance.

    When it comes time to relax and go to sleep these muscles flex subconsciously.

    I will notice my neck and shoulders are rock hard.

    It maybe my thoughts prior that urge them on, but I have to breathe and focus to get them to unfold and lay down.

    It seems my 'natural' state is to be stiff and now I am working to relax and reprogram my body.

    I look forward to day 146 of Bikram yoga and wonder how long it will take to be naturally relaxed.

    Imagine having to work to become naturally relaxed!

  • A Strong Body Will Be Revealed.

    It is Monday morning a workday for me, and I have my 32nd completed.  I feel that the rest of the day will flow better now.

     

    What I noticed today that under the extra seat cushion I have, there are muscles coming alive, and they are becoming really helpful in the floor exercises where I have to lift my legs off the ground.

     

    Before my back tried to do this job alone, and now there is a connection between leg and back, called butt, and they are actually helping in the lift.

     

    It was shocking to actually feel them working.  I am thinking I have never had them, ever.

     

    I wonder what is under my inner tube in front?!

     

    This added bulk that I am carrying around really doesn’t help at all; instead it is actually in the way on lots of postures, folds and cushions of me squished or hanging out as I attempt to finesse this yoga.

     

    It tickles me to know that muscles are being born underneath, like I am wearing a bulky jacket, but once I lose the jacket of extra flesh, a strong body will be revealed.
