3rd June 2021 - creaky

2 days of Ashtanga, a gentle run, and a lot of swimming in the Hampstead Heath ponds and I can suddenly feel muscles that I haven’t been aware of for a long time. I was so achey today that just moving around the flat felt uncomfortable. But I know habit formation requires consistency so I did slow motion yoga and skipped the sun salutations. On days like this, yoga is for easing and lengthening. And for creating time and space to look at the sky, notice the swifts, breathe more consciously.
