Day 75: The day started off with me sleeping in tIl 1 pm , I guess i was really lacking sleep , well this was for sure very good and was the first day i hadn`t taught a class in a week , so just letting myself have a lazy day, well not exactly the case , went to flow 2 that felt like a hot class , it was pretty funny seeing the girls have make up running expecting the same thing that it would be hot up there, i did some intense boxing afterwards that actually had keeping up with jump squats then finished off the night watching the crazies over alice in wonderland , Im sure i`ll make my way to that one soon.
Day76: Got my boxing on that took sooo much out of me, my works out have just been pretty effective this week but i find i work myself hard that I end up sleeping during the day and then i have trouble sleeping afterwards ,I did do a back work out and headed straight to bed , when i got up it was time to head to the studio to teach in our new heat ,the goal is to try keep everyone in the room but theres always one or two people that go to re-fill their water , looks like everyone else is having the same problem , I guess we need to talk more about the importance of trying to stay in the room , afterwards i did hot flow and we had a plank challenge , whoever could hold plank the longest wins, i was getting pretty tired when it came to the final six also I was very tempted to yell at some people to bring their butts down in plank , in the end in came down to me and Lorna, Robin did not see me still in my plank so she told Lorna to go down , so i would of at least finished top two but we`ll never know who would of stayed up there , anyways i totally lay credit to both pan am and moksha for the reason i was able to last so long , pan am we consistanly hold plank near the end of class and since i taught the class before hand i was a bit lighter!

I don't think people realize how important it is to "stay" in the room for sooo many reasons - both individual and as part of the collective.
ReplyDeleteIndividual is obvious - push yourself, push through the mental barrier. Don't give up.
But I don't think most realize that they impact the collective when they leave both due to the distraction of the door opening/closing and someone moving around, but also because of the cool air it lets in which changes the "feel" of not just the ambient temperature but the collective temperature. We feed off of one another...even though yoga is an individual practice, the energy in the room is something we all give to, or take away from.
Someone leaving totally disrupts this "flow".
Of course Phily D would likely challenge me on this that I should use this "challenge" to focus my mental more. Apparently I'm a little "Type A" LOL... But still - while yoga is an individual practice I think we have a responsibility to the group to contribute energy (says she is who is usually first to show frustration...yes, I'm a work in progress...awareness is the first step!).
As for the plank drill... that sounds cool. I'll go ya! No knees for you my friend! ;)
