Day One-September 12, 2011

As I mentioned previously, one autumn/winter I was practicing for almost an hour each night. It was at that time I noticed how deeply I slept after doing yoga. During that time, I would simply go to yogatoday.com and do a sequence. However, a year or more ago, they started to charge for their online classes. I complete understand why; they're awesome!

I was overjoyed to find the other day that some of those longer classes are on youtube.com. I haven't embarked on doing one yet. I'm simply easing back into those long classes.

For today, I decided on this sequence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bofQabiS3C4

I am not feeling particularly sad, but I wanted to feel really happy. The class was easy to follow, especially if you are a beginner. The poses are not complicated and the instructor does not use any sanskrit words for the poses but rather describes how to move into the pose. I also felt she was very thorough when telling you when to breathe and how exactly to make sure your body was positioned.

Afterward, I feel relaxed. It is time to wind down for bed. I definitely will check out yogayak's other uploads. Namaste.
