Right now I'm laying in bed watching reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. My last yoga class was Tuesday. I noticed that my flexibility was really good, but my balance wasn't so good. I swear Zeb keeps the room at 800 degrees because I was on fire! Once again, after my camel pose, when I went into the final Savasana, I got all teary eyed. Camel really does bring everything out.
My day as a whole was difficult. I received some sad news at work, then I had a customer from Virginia on the phone just as the earthquake was hitting. Hearing her scream for her life, was, shall we say, unpleasant. I didn't want to go to yoga, but I did. I had been experiencing some pain just below my sternum and was hoping the class would make it better. After class I had to go say goodbye to Nicole, who was leaving the next day, to move to New York City. Again, unpleasant.
Wednesday was my sixth day in a row of working (I'm not so equipped to do that) so I just came home and lazed around. No yoga. Today was more of the same. I am however, concerned with the pain in, what I'm thinking is, a pulled diaphragm. It sounds silly, but it hurts to laugh, cough, and breathe sometimes. I'm going to lay off for a while and try to restart the challenge in a few days (or maybe a week). I feel like a big failure but at least this time I know what I'm getting myself into.
Perhaps in the meantime I'll find something even more exciting to blog about, but for now, Buffy.
Hey Tiff- I pulled something in my sternum once, it was super painful and I was out for a little but you can still go to class (if you want) and tell them what happened and they will give you modifications or you can just do what feels good and leave out the stuff that strains... just a thought. Or you can just work on the poses that don't hurt at home... good luck!
