I went to outisde practice two times last week at Laurie's studio. I felt great after going two days in a row and I havent been able to make it there at all this weekend because of work and being sick. On Wednesday I went to Yoga Flow with Sharon. We did a posture that she said would work our lymph nodes and chelp clear them out and get rid of the end of summer colds that everyone has. At the end of the class she rubbed some kind of lemongrass oil on our shoulders and feet during shavasana. It smelled really good and the smell also helped enhance my senses when getting out of the corpse pose. When I left that day class I felt really awake and when we stepped outside it had just rained and there was a rainbow in the sky which was so pretty!!
The next class I did on Wednesday was Advanced Vinyasa with Laurie. I couldnt make any other class that day and thought that I would give this class a try, afterall I am always up for a challenge. Needless to say an hour and a half later I was soaked with sweat, slipping all over my mat and felt like I had done the most intense workout of my life except I wasnt sore, which was very surprising! Everyone in that class seemed very fit and were able to do the very difficult postures. I was surprised that I was able to some of the more challenging ones but not the extent that some people could. When the class was over I felt that I had awakened muscles that hadn't been put to use in a very long time and it made me feel really refreshed and more aware of my body. I truely felt different after taking this class, it wasn't a bad feeling it was more of a feeling that I accomplished something that I was really nervous about doing because it was an advanced class. I realized that I have potential to do anything I put my mind to and in a way it was enlightening.
