Day 11: Together

Yesterday was a big class--18 people. There was room for everyone, though. The big crowd made me more aware of my classmates, and how what we do affects and supports each other's practices. The teacher was Penny--I haven't taken from her in a while. She really unlocked Standing Bow Pulling last time I took from her. Something she said this time gave me more energy each savasana (resting on the floor on your back:) "slow low exhales." I thought about the breath exhaling directly from my belly and it seemed to give me extra juice. I did rest out first set of Standing Separate Leg Stretching. I've been having trouble with that pose--the backs of my legs are in discomfort and I keep thinking I'm doing something wrong--but Penny told me second set I was doing a good job, so I suppose it's something I'll have to work through. I think part of the reason the class was so large is that Penny has a few fans that followed her from wherever she teaches normally.

I really need to buy a pair of nice "yoga shorts;" the running shorts I wore yesterday were so uncomfortable.
