Today was the day I dreaded, the day that I knew it would be touch and go with yoga, for I had such a full day and late night the day before.
So, the alarm goes off, it is 4:20, and I am heavy and not enthused, at all.
The dog wanted to go out, so I stepped outside with him. It is clear, crisp, starlit, moonlit, quiet and surreal. I breathe in deeply inhaling this wonder, and know that I just may do yoga, now.
My night was the most awful since we began this challenge, restless, sleepless, waking, sleeping for short periods to wake wide awake, and dreams that seemed so real back then, that I awoke more tired then I fell asleep.
And now yoga…
It was uneventful and nothing stood out except the fact that I was doing yoga with a tired body and no rest.
I kept hoping I was ‘gaining energy’ in the yoga class, recouping my nighttime loss.
The headache I woke with dissipated sometime during the standing poses, and I was simply amazed at myself when the last breath was blown out and I lay down to Bikram’s song.
I had faced the challenge this morning and won.
Tired lost this one…day 33 won!
