Hoo boy, 4 days in a row of kick-you-in-the-butt yoga is NOT easy. I was dragging even before I got to class, so I did not have high hopes. I did my best with what strength I had, but I'm looking forward to later weeks when I have more stamina. I really, really wanted to push and improve--trying head stand would have been cool--but there comes a point when you have to listen to your body and draw back.
There wasn't any particularly good or bad pose today; it was all a bit of a struggle. Balancing was especially tough on tired quads and glutes. You really can't fudge your way through balancing poses. However, spinal twists and backbends felt really, really good for a tight lower back today. Next week will be more productive, I can feel it.
Tomorrow is a well-deserved day of rest. And now that my muscles have turned into jello, I plan to ooze into bed early and get a full night's sleep.
