I'm back to mon/wed/fri for my one class...

...and I'm quite happy. I'm also hopefully going to the yoga retreat listed here - I'll find out sometime next week, I think, whether I can go for sure.

I've been reading those back issues of YJ that I've been stockpiling, and it never fails that they have an article that helps me think through something that's been on my mind in the recent past. I need to start writing in my paper journal so I can delve more instead of retelling the day's events or some odd thought I'd had.

Favorite pose: I liked ustrasana, or camel pose more than usual. Still didn't stay in it a very long time, but felt better while doing it than I have before.

Least favorite pose: utthita trikonasana, or extended triangle pose. Not that I usually particularly like it, I just didn't enjoy it more than I usually don't enjoy it.

I've been finding it harder and harder not to practice in a room with a finished wood floor (namely not carpet) with mirrors so I can see what my body looks like. I like working on balancing poses that way and also being able to check my form on poses where I can't just 'feel' it. I'm not sure what I think about my increasing-dependence on mirrors and hard floors...
