Day 11 - Grounded by the Full Moon

Today's class was a true pleasure. It was hatha class, taught by Beverly.

I must say though, it took a bit more 'omph' for me to get myself there...

I left home at 7:30am, worked all day with focussed energy, and didn't get home until 6:50pm.  That left me a half hour to eat dinner, and then it was quickly time for the last yoga class of the day at 7:30pm.  I didn't get home until after 9pm, which left only a sliver of personal time in the late evening.  My apartment is a pig sty with clothes and dishes everywhere, and I have a huge "to do" list to accomplish, but I need to push all that aside for the time being to meet my goals.  This would be a typical day for me.  With my schedule, doing yoga everyday requires real determination, and it necessitates loose ends.

Lucky for me, Beverly's class was well worth the time spent.  She had a theme - being grounded by the full moon, which is glowing brightly in the sky tonight.

She talked about the moon's draw of gravity, bringing grounding and ocean waves.  And then she guided us through the most amazing set of asanas.  This class was all about gentle movements and deep stretch, and it felt absolutely marvellous.  As went through the postures, I noticed that I am tired, my leg muscles are fatigued from all the kundalini action over the past few days.  I hadn't realized this, until we got into a lunge.  So I was very happy for a gentle movement class.  There is nothing I like more, then feeling a stretch from the inside out.
