17th June 2021 - counterintuitive

When I woke up today, my body was more achey than it has been in over a year. Can I practice when I feel like this? There’s no flexibility for adaptations in Astanga Yoga.

Despite feeling very comfortable in bed, the “see you tomorrow” from yesterday encouraged me not to take a day off.

And the practice worked! My hamstrings burned with the first forward fold, but I loosened up and by the end of the practice, the stiffness and aches were entirely gone.
