Let's start with the things that went really well today: Balancing stick!! The past few classes I just cannot hold balancing stick on my right leg. But today I was determined that I was going to nail it in both sets, and I did!
The majority of the standing series went pretty well. Standing bow is still a struggle, which frustrates me because I remember being able to do it when I started practicing last spring, but I was coming off of another work out challenge then and I think I had much stronger legs.
And then we got to standing forehead to knee. The posture itself went well, but if you remember from Saturday, I've been struggling with a head cold. It hasn't been too bad, mostly just annoying. But today I'm pretty sure I re-arranged all the "stuff" that was in my face and I felt like crap. By the time we got to the floor series, I really just wanted to lay there, but I gave each posture a try, and only stayed in ones where I had to have my head upside down for minimal time.
I thought yoga might clear out things, but I didn't get very sweaty today (could be because of me, could be because it was so much colder out today), and I definitely didn't drink a huge amount of water today.
Now, I feel a lot worse. I walked out of the studio and immediately burst into tears, which is fairly unusual for me. I guess class brought up a lot more than just a cold! I cried most of the way home, but the good news was that by the time I got home I was done crying and my nose was totally cleared out.
I think I will be taking a break from the challenge for a day or two. I definitely don't want to pass this on to anyone else now that it has escalated. Especially Vicki and the wee one she's carrying!!
