There goes my plan

Posted on May 30th, 2006 under Ashtanga Diary

I wanted to start a five to six days per week practice this week. I had been good and practiced on Sunday, but then Monday came along and there simply wasn’t any time to practice. I couldn’t get up early enough to do a morning practice and I didn’t get home until about 8:00 pm and I was too tired at that time to do anything. Even the thought of a super-short practice was too much.

I did go up into a half-headstand just to play around. It felt pretty solid that time around but I think I was forgetting to breath because M said I was going red in the face.

Oh well, today is another day and a four to five days per week practice is still good. Tuesday means shala practice day and I always look forward to practicing at the shala. I enjoy the energy of the place, especially when it’s really busy. Which seems to be quite often recently, must be the winter weather and everyone wants to “exercise” indoors.
I have an appointment with the physiotherapist in a few hours time. Going to have my hip and lower back looked at. I’m trying to “nip it in the bud” before the achiness/almost-pain results in a more serious injury, like last time.

Ashtangi.net is still down. Hope J can get it up and running again soon, I think I’m going through withdrawals and I can only remember so many blog addresses! No pressure of course (in case J read this). I know you do this as a free service for all of us and I appreciate it immensely!
