15-minute yin yoga (I was going to do the whole 30 minutes, but I got really frustrated with child's pose (it's supposed to be a "resting pose," but it's agony for my bad leg and I try all the modifications, but they don't really get the back stretch I want and I have to admit that I let the frustration win today. I'll try again tomorrow)

15-minute stretch class at lunchtime
25-minute yin yoga - I'm really getting stressed out over how not in the zone I've been feeling in yoga. Yoga is my go-to happy place and the fact that I can't just sink into these last few practices is really and truly frustrating me. If I don't feel like lifting on a given day, oh well. But I feel like I can always count on yoga. Ugh. I'll keep coming back to the mat until I get back into the groove.

Did you meet your fitness goals this month?
I have trouble with child's pose too sometimes!!! It can be really uncomfortable for my shins and feet- it's better if I keep my toes curled under (I know the top of the foot is supposed to be flat on the floor, but sometimes that really hurts). Yesterday I just couldn't get comfortable in child's pose. Are we the only two people who have this problem???
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by these ankle and foot mobility videos- do you like them?
I also have a hard time with child's pose. I feel like I can't breathe in that position. I saw a YouTube video for a modified version laying on your back, and it works much better for me.
