Notes: It’s so funny how the ego sells you short sometimes. As I got out of bed this morning for my daybreak posture practice, I was telling myself it would be fine to skip the headstand. It has been a bit of a struggle (more mentally really than physically) to stay in it for 3:00 at a time. I was just thinking as I was going through the kriyas that I was a bit sore in the glutes and upper back from yesterday’s workout, so I should probably just forget headstand. Well, when it came time to do it, I was feeling better after having limbered up a bit, and I took the posture, and at 3:00 was feeling quite comfortable, so I went for 4:00. I probably could have gone longer even, but I figured “one step at a time.” Anyway, just goes to show that it’s best to tune out the head chatter and listen to your body, for goodness sakes! In terms of the intensity wave, today was a no intensity, joint mobility day. Looking forward to the mixed-mode yogurt tamale!
