40 Day Yoga Challenge: Day Three

Posted by Karen on May 22, 2009 | No Comments

I ran over to class today, still engaged in a long-haul conference call with work. I had managed to change into yoga gear and “confer” at the same time… but sadly I didn’t get a brush through my hair or teeth. My typical chaos.

After the call ended, I was buzzing with adrenalin – that kind that comes from the game of formulating your opinion into a logical argument for an extended period of time. Getting closer to the studio I noticed the no-nonsense sunshine and warm breeze, and my energy turned to giddiness.

I was worried I might have an eruptive laughing episode during pranayama… it will happen one of these days. But I gradually gained control of the energy the was bubbling over, and turned it inward.

By the end of class my energy melted my physical form into a warm wax blob. I find that when I get into this state, I lose my natural breathing rhythm in savasana. I’ll suddenly be snapped back to consciousness when my body gasps for much a needed breath. I’m not sure about that situation… if I should be happy that I’ve reached a state of deep relaxation? I just didn’t figure my body’s responses would check out along with my thoughts.

Anyhow… brilliant day. It can’t feel much better than this.
