Ashtanga at Satsang
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006Last night we went to our fourth weekly ashtanga class. This time it was with a different yoga studio. We both enjoyed the differences between this teacher and our usual teacher at the yoga and healing center in scoth plains.
As usual, the class was demanding. I’ve developed a little more control in some of the poses, but I am still learning the basics. The major improvment I saw in my practice was in my state of mind after class was over. Usually I have been worked so hard that I can hardly think. Usually my reptillian brain takes over and my thoughts simplify to water, water, water, and a small bit of food, followed by a deep sleep.
Last night’s class left me with enough energy to carry on a conversation in a pleasent mood. There was a moment about 15 minutes after class that I felt my energy slipping away, but I pulled it back and enjoyed the rest of the evening.
I think that either I am adapting to the practice and thus better able to act normally afterward, or last night was just a good night.
new sensei, REX KWON DO! I WISH! Napolean Dynamite anyone?
