12th June 2021 - preparation

I have a place to start practicing Astanga in a Shala starting on Tuesday. Motivated by this, today I stuck to the Astanga sequence without deviation. There is a lot of room for improvement, but I definitely felt stronger and lighter and more powerful than I did a couple of weeks ago. I also made an effort to breathe properly, feeling each breath lift and lull me. When I am fully conscious of my inhale, it feels like taking a sip of cool water after climbing a hill.
