Diary of yoga practice

I'm trying to get back to a regular schedule...

...for my yoga. I've been practicing asanas less, but doing well with eating less and paying more attention in general. I've also been a bit calmer, too. I had to go to the stressed end of the spectrum before I got back to where I am now, though. I started having really bad stress headaches the week before I went to the yoga retreat - since I was trying to get everything done before leaving. My hamstrings, on the other hand, are much much better since I haven't been overstretching them. They get a little sore now, but I've got a lot more strength when doing postures like Warrior. I've decided to take every mainly-hamstring stretch that most people do and change it slightly so it stretches my groin muscles instead of just hamstrings. That balances my strength out a little better then accenting the hamstrings too much and not really working on the areas that are tighter.

I'm on a monday/friday/saturday schedule for the moment, if I can keep up with it. I also try to do bits here and here, but still not too much. Restraint also counts for asanas, too, I've figured out. It happens when it happens. :)
