I surprised even myself when I was faced with being home and alone. I usually take this time to bum out and not do anything, maybe spend some time on the computer (as if I don’t spend enough time during the weekdays on a computer!), eating something, cooking something, but usually lazing around wasting time.

Yesterday’s short stint home alone was different. I took the opportunity to add in a practice, not one of my lazy assed short practice but my full practice with vinyasas between sides and with little distractions. The practice felt good, even without my much loved Mysore cotton mat.

I had left the rug at work so I had to use some old sticky mat, which I quickly discovered, wasn’t very sticky when you start sweating! I ended up using a large towel over it, it still wasn’t quite the same as my Mysore mat, but better than slipping on the not-so-sticky mat.

Chakrasana was good yesterday, even with my sore-ish neck. Practicing definitely loosened up the tightness in my neck. I was going to skip chakrasana but after a while of practicing, I didn’t feel the neck soreness so I thought I’d still give it a go… gently, of course!

My practice feels so short now-a-days. I’m still missing the asanas I’ve dropped out of my practice, I miss the deep twists the most. *sigh* Thursday will be here before I know it and then we may get some answers from the sports doctor.
