Today was a good day with challenging moments. I was able to get to my favorite yoga class,
and it had a great surprise.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get on the bike today. I have a valid reason that I don’t really
want to get into, so you’ll just have to trust me on this one.
The challenge today was trying to decide if that reason was
valid. Steve pointed out that we have a
three hour drive coming up and that I needed to be injury free for the
trip. That confirmed for me that I
really needed to take it easy today and just do my yoga class that I knew was
safe.
When I got to yoga tonight, there was a surprise. The instructor said that she wanted to try
something new – standing sun salutations using the wall. I was really nervous to try it since sun
salutations are usually really hard for me.
So hard, in fact, that I can’t keep up with them. But, this was a modification so that the
entire sequence was done standing, using the wall for support. The premise was very similar to doing push
ups against a wall. I loved it! I was able to get the benefits of doing the
sequence, but I was able to keep up, and my knees didn’t hurt! So, as skeptical as I was, I am so happy she
tried this!
And, the whole experience gave me more insight into
Michael. He has always been afraid of
new things. Even when we promise him he
will like it, he doesn’t believe us until he’s experienced it. That is exactly how I was tonight. As soon as I heart ‘sun salutation’ I was
afraid. As soon as we went through the
whole sequence, I relaxed. Once we did
it twice, I was hooked. I guess that
apple really doesn’t fall too far from the tree!
