30-Day Journey, Day 4

60-min solo practice. Went to Soul Strength and got in a really good solo practice. The sun set gradually throughout my practice and the room was warm and comfortable. I felt like I could do anything today. I tried a few postures that I don't normally do - forward bend against the wall, supported wide-legged forward bend, "happy baby", shoulder stand...oh i think i may have *found* my shoulder stand. I felt so light in the shoulders and lower body today - it was amazing!

I was mentally focused throughout most of my practice today. There were points during practice where I was thinking about work or how I could incorporate some of the postures into my class. But for the most part, I was focused. Guess that's why I felt like it was a good practice. I was connected to my breath, and I was connected to my body - I even recognized the pain in my left big toe, especially during upward dog. I think I may have sprained it when I fell yesterday. I still hurt...hope I get better soon and don't have any major injuries!

Savasana felt BLISSFUL! I'm not sure how long I was in Savasana for, but it really is one of my favourite postures. I think that my mind really needs a break, which is why I truly welcomed Savasana today - Corpse Pose - I just had to BE on my mat. Ahhhhh, juicy, blissful Savasana.

Tomorrow is Yoga Strength with Mel...can't wait.
