Tuesday is for Standing

Today’s daily yoga was all about standing poses. Strong standing. I’m liking the sequence because it really helped shake the cobwebs and rattle the internal alarm clock. I haven’t seen 7am since oh I don’t know when. Possibly before Christmas – at my sister’s when her son had us opening gifts at the crack of dawn. Actually, come to think of it, the sun wasn’t really up yet.
But, back to the practice. I think this sequence agrees with me because it is so graceful and moving from pose to pose really works. I’m not thinking Twister. Mountain -> standing forward -> lunge -> warrior 1 -> warrior 2 -> side angle -> straight leg warrior 2 -> triangle -> straddle -> warrior 2 into lunge -> down dog -> plank -> knees, chest, chin -> cobra -> childs -> down dog -> lunge -> standing forward -> chair/power -> mountain.
But, here’s the thing that’s always in the back of my mind – how’s my posture? Am I doing this right? I don’t have eyes in the back of my head, nor a teacher standing over me. No one to ease my feet into a more solid stance. I’ll be back to in-person personal on Thursday. Yay!
