Over the past couple of weeks I have been held hostage by contractors hired by Ray to upgrade things that he could probably do if he gave up sleep and kept the neighbors up. So during the very important yoga challenge I have had to forgo morning mysore and attend either an afternoon led class or one of the two evening mysore sessions in order to not miss any days during the challenge. Did I tell you that I messed up teacher’s beautiful hand made chart by not following directions and initialing the boxes the wrong way? Anyway, today I was able to make it to 10:30 led, where teacher made our small group focus on breath  length and regulation almost exclusively. This meant no time for binding the way you like, and realizing that your inhale during vinyasa is nowhere near enough to get things done. I’ll tell you this, the amount of sweat you produce when you breathe like this during practice is almost disturbing. I don’t know how teacher practiced (probably for the 2nd time) right along with us to keep the tempo and demonstrate while counting aloud. She was just as soaked as her students. A lot to implement tomorrow during mysore.
