Wednesday Equilibrium

Today’s yoga was all about elusive, toe-gripping-to-keep-it balance. Finding it, losing it & triumphing it’s shaky return. Again and again. I was grateful for this sequence because it forced me to quiet my mind and really concentrate on holding the poses. A really good way to shake out disturbing dreams. I might take this “Wednesday” sequence out of order whenever my nocturnal musings take me to the nightmare extreme. It also brought me humor. Whenever I felt myself toppling over I let out a little giggle and set my sights on correcting (or over-correcting) the wobble.
Mountain -> mountain on tiptoe -> knee into chest -> tree -> warrior 3 -> warrior 1 -> warrior 1 straight leg -> lunge -> down dog split -> lunge -> prep for half moon -> half moon -> warrior 2 -> lunge -> down dog -> side plane -> down dog -> walk up to chair -> chair with twist -> mountain on tiptoe -> eagle -> mountain.

Of course I had problems with half moon & side inclined plane and I worried about form with warrior 3 & down dog split. But, next Wednesday will be easier.

Today is Fruitcake Toss Day. If ya got one, toss it.

PS~ Of course I have been writing daily about other things besides yoga, but I’m not sure those rants will make it here. I’m all about not causing trouble in 2007.
