downward dogging again
I checked out a new yoga studio yesterday which seems already like potentially a better fit. The energy of the place was good – I didn’t feel anxious the way I did at the other place. I went to a beginners class that was only myself and one other student and the teacher, which makes it intimate and personal and great. The other was a guy – approaching middle age – who was taking his 3rd yoga class…ever. It made me so happy knowing the journey he had no idea he was in for. I was also glad that his first classes were in what was a slow and gentle grounding practice. Some of the postures were new to me or variations of old favorites but I really liked it and it was easy enough for me to modify things to avoid the ole wrist.
afterwards went to my friend, T’s and we got drunky skunky on 2 bottles of wine and stayed up way to late gabbing and psychoanalyzing our friendship. felt like total shit this morning so I’m off to sleep now. i’m not sure if it qualifies as “self care” when going to bed at 9 is a result of “self-destruction by alcohol” the night before. But whatever it is…it’s gonna feel great to crash.

I’m so glad you found a potential yoga class. I love the journey it has taken me on, as well. I can really feel it inside when I haven’t had yoga in a few days/week (like inner hopelessness, lonely, tight, anxiety…). I found the yoga classes I love at a place I wasn’t expecting to–an exercise club type thing very focused on not the inner journey…but, I guess its all about how you use it. Enjoy sleeping
Sounds like you need it!

Ahhh sleep. Nothing better then falling into your bed when you are exhausted.

Crash, my love. I know how it feels.
