Not feeling 100% when I come to class. Chest a bit sore and tight. Not even sure if I should be going to class…but I am doing a 30 day challenge….not "skip a day" challenge so I persevere. I let the teacher know what's going on with me so she will leave me alone if I sit out of certain postures and modify others and I tuck myself into the back corner of the room. Class starts and then I realise…Damn! Every posture incorporates your chest somehow!! Thought before that maybe I could just concentrate on my legs and arms but that's not the case. Am I an idiot? How did I not realise this before?! Well…I'm here now….might as well try to sweat and get the most out of it!! I actually managed to do most of the class with some slight modifications….sitting out a few postures but still managing to get a good sweat going. On a positive note I can feel myself getting stronger and tighter, able to contract deeper into each muscle. I really paid attention to my body during this class…noticing everything I was feeling. It was hard on my ego to tone my practice down a bit but it was great for body awareness. Hopefully I didn't cause any more injury and the heat and moderate stretching was a help rather than a hindrance…..guess I'll find out soon enough!!!
