Today was one of the most challenging for me thus far. I had a pretty packed calendar and I planned to do Day 5 tonight, which may have been my first mistake.
So far in this challenge, I have done every day of yoga first thing in the morning. I’m not sure if it was the change in routine, muscle fatigue, or just general fatigue, but I wasn’t able to hold a couple of the last poses for the full duration. I had to modify and I hated that I had to do that.
This taught me that:
- I shouldn’t be so hard on myself. I’ve done my best and I need to be happy with that!
- I can try returning to morning yoga and see if that helps.
- Some poses are going to be hard for me AT FIRST because I need to build muscle. But that doesn’t mean they will be difficult forever. Just for right now.
- Yoga at night is extremely relaxing.
On some of the early poses, I felt amazing. And, even though I can already tell I’m going to be sore tomorrow, I can’t wait to get back to the mat!
