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!
