Day 30: BREATHE. Day 31: calm the resistance

The past three practices, including today, I have uncovered some resistance in my mind. It is a strong rush of negativity. Yesterday, it dominated the floor series, after a pretty positive-minded standing series. Today, it hit me in the FIRST POSE! I just had the thought, screw this, I want to lie down. It actually took a lot of strength to continue in the posture. The feeling soon went away and I had an excellent practice. Rested out first set of Balancing Stick, but did very strong sets of Floor Bow. A morning practice is always harder for me--this was an 8 AM class--because I am so stiff, but afterward, I am full of energy and ready for the day. And I so enjoy taking a class from Audrey!

The rest of the day I spent in Port Orchard with friends, the last part of the day getting a massage from one of them--she is a GREAT massage therapist. She said there were lots of small adhesions in the outer layers of my leg muscles--makes sense as this is where I am sore from yoga. She suggested drinking more water, and I really should!

The weather here today was so weird. Yesterday it was 74 degrees and sunny. Today it rained, at times quite hard, and was very cold. (Low 40's.) They cancelled MSH's golf tournament, the weather was so bad! Unfortunately, they didn't know it was cancelled until they'd golfed 18 holes, and at that point the weather up north where they were had apparently improved, so they played 12 more, even though they were wet and cold. Such is the appeal of golf for some!
