I am dedicating myself to learning the Asanas of Ashtanga Yoga through traditional Vinyasa Count. I feel very driven to this. My yoga experience has pandered across the years.. college was a concentration on the asanas (poses). No flow. Home practice was always asanas slow paced. Then I went to Sumit's Yoga, Vinyasa Power Flow, and had my ass handed to me. I left that class soaking wet, bendy, tiered, but felt like I could move a friggin building. After that I was pretty much hooked on the flow. Sumit's is very fast paced. If I had know the asanas I would have probably dug the fuck out of it. SO thats what brings me to this. My current practice is home based. I usually do a flow with asanas at my pace. I try to hold each asana for 5 breaths. I like the way my heart races when the flow is added in after each asana is added. My friend Kim is putting a sequence together for me too and I can't wait!
Time to do something for myself each day and bring health to my body. The past few days that I have started doing yoga this week, my system has been regular, less bloated, more energy, and just over a better change in mood.
Tomorrow I will start learning the Vinyasa Surya Namaskara. This is the first in the Ashtanga Vinyasa Practice.
Namaste

afternoon before math practice
linear equations await me.
The anxiety arrived. I figure why not do my practice now. Calm my mind so I can focus. Living room practice with Marley's help. Started with seated meditation in lotus, moved through a short series of neck, hip, back, and concentrating on flowing breath with movement and continuing breath while in pose. Working Vinyasa A into poses. My practice had no time stamp goal. Total time was 40 min. Pretty good. I am happy with this.
An evening practice to continue into standing poses.
Math awaits. I am ready :)
